Delaney NOW De-Listed Free Agent? !!

[Eastern]

Did I hear right that Delaney has made himself a De-Listed Free Agent? Don't get too excited just yet. The radio was on SEN at the time !!

[mullet]

This would be great. More for the reason that we didnt get screwed by another club, and stuck to our guns.

Hope you are right Eastern

[DWOODROW]

That means anyone can get him tho doesn't it

[dragit]

Yes but he has to agree... and he wants to come to us.

May be that what we wanted North to do & may be we will release Dal as a free agent, so in return for Dal we will get pick 22 (compensation for Dal) & Delaney through PSD.

[Fishsticks]

No need to use a PSD pick on Delaney if he is a de-listed free agent, as per Roberton.

i wouldn't be surprised but we might just pretend nothing is happening to stay with in the legislation.

[vacuous space]

If Delaney delists himself, he won't be a free agent. Entering the PSD might be an idea though as he just needs to get through GWS and Melbourne to get here.

[Life Long Saint]

North would have to delist him for us to take him.

[borderbarry]

Correct me if I am wrong, but if we get end of first round compensation for Dal, unless GWS or Melbourne also lose a free agent, we would get Pick 18, not 22, for Dal, as the compensation picks are taken in order that the clubs involved finished from the bottom. At this stage it would be us, GCS, Hawks. Of course Hawks may have 1st round compensation which would give them 18 and us 19. No matter, we already have their 18.

[borderbarry]

I still believe there is a chance Dal may attract first round compensation (Pick 4). Our position on the ladder should have no bearing with which level of compensation we receive. It is the level of the player, and with two top three brownlow finishes I doubt if there has been a higher credentialled player lost by a club as a free agent.

It also takes into account the future contract (otherwise clubs would just FA all their old stars and cop a first round compo pick)
So based on 'future contract' - pretty sure Buddy has everyone trumped!

[Rosco]

Pretty sure the saints would have sounded out likely compo and if it was pick 4 they would've kicked dal out the door to north in a heartbeat. dal said he was happy to do what was best for the club, and that would be it.

it will be a second rounder, something like 21ish, might just keep him

[Devilhead]

I reckon we could be given an end of first round compo pick for Dal not second round compo pick - which mean we could have 18, 19 (Buddy compo pick), 20 (Dal end of first round compo pick)

Gold Coast have a compensation pick at the end of the 1st round as well but I dont know if it would be in front of ours considering they finished higher on the ladder

If we got a 2nd round compo pick for Dal - as it stands now with the Thomas, Buddy and GC compo picks - then we would receive pick 24

Isn't a delisted free agent a

1. Delisted by their club

2. Not offered a contract at anytime during the year in which they have been delisted

If so and if delany is a now a delisted free agent, WTF didn't north offer him a contract at any stage?

They don't want him or he is surplus to their requirements, but they think we are silly and are prepared to pay a "Kings Ransom" for him !!
