I’d be surprised if the best clubs have players on triggers or utilise them as broadly as we do. A good club would trust in their ability to retain players at contract expiration and be comfortable that they don’t need triggers to attract players either.

Giants’ big boost as star makes huge $8m call on future

yep and one flag between those four teams since the triggers were executed.

@Houli_Dooli

Parish + Wright

would get us close

Only if you throw in a first aswell

Maybe but he was on AFL 360 recently (last few weeks) and he was still tearing up and emotional about his injury. He was pretty honest on how hard he has found it. I’m sure he’ll get through his rehab and be able to recover physically but mentally for me is definitely a watch and see. That first contest once he’s back will tell the story i reckon.

There’s literally no Melbourne club that could satisfy Melbourne with a trade

do you notice the reply of ‘"Absolutely deserved it. Well done.’

compared to the general vibe of ‘oh ■■■■ stringer again’ here?

[handypoint]

I think we will get a trade request from either Benny Hobbs or Elijah Tsatsas. Behind a bunch of young talented mids with a good number of years left in their careers.

[All-Star_Bomber_18]

We could but only if we wanted to give up a lot

Eg 2 first rd picks and a good player

[bomberboy05]

What about hobbs, parish and pick 8 for trac?

Probably unders still.

Essendon going for Petracca would be the stupidest idea since Essendon going for … LDU.

Great players but not the direction we should be heading.

[Dons]

Parish & Wright for Trac.
Those players aren’t taking us anywhere, get them gone, get someone in who is a champion of the game and will lift standards.

Something has to get Essendon fans through until March.

[whereswalla]

Just watching Footy Classified…yeah Tracc wants out! Sounds like every journo is being fed this (probs from Connor Sport). Remains to be seen if it happens but once Carlton exit finals i think this will grow legs. No mentioned of Essendon…Carlton and the Pies.

[Tbone]

Would have to put next years first aswell and get a heap of junk picks back

What in the living ■■■■ does that have to do with the claim that we use way more triggered contracts than other clubs?

[jonovdp]

Cal Twomey said that he’s open to get to Hawthorn, Carlton, Collingwood & Essendon.

The problem being that Carlton and Collingwood don’t have cap space.

Hawthorn and Essendon have other plans.

[handypoint]

Petroltickets has 4? Years left on a massive contract?

As big a gun as he is…theres some risk in that.

[hirdylloydy]

i just dont see the value in an almost 29 year old coming off a major injury, greta player but not for us
