I dont think he can put himself in the draft he would need to be delisted which they won't do. I think they'll go to Essendon first. If he is not picked up by Hawthorn he can nominate for the preseason draft but not the national one.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

This whole JOM thing is hilarious watching. The things clubs will do for a kid who hasn't played for two years.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Free agency and contracted players have been ruined by childish players who pick and choose which clubs they want to go to or wanting to break contracts. Now we have a team wrecking the trade period and creating an unbalanced competition.
But yes, good on them.
You are spot on.
COLA should still be in play, it just should be handled by the AFL.

Melbourne will be a lot better , Goodwin is a more attacking coach than Roos and with Roos gone he will have complete control, dont be mistaken they will be a lot different side under him.

But not Sydney exclusive (maybe players under 150K get their wages adjusted to local inflation/property prices)

YES! WA are equally (if not more) impacted.

Not overly fussed on Lids. Can someone convince me he's a must have?
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

His $800,000 reported salary is a concern. Geelong allowed to trade another first rounder, that'd get the job done for them you'd think.

Geelong are stretched further than most teams for salary cap space as is GWS which indicates that the Tigers are prepared to do something similar to what we did with Griffen and pay some of salary.
We probably don't need a lot of assistance in that area but that could also help us in negotiating a slightly lesser deal to satisfy Richmond.

What do you rate him pick wise?

It's being reported from Emma Quayle that the cats are willing to give up a first for Tuohy.
Is that their first pick in 2020?

No. He's good but not worth the coin he's commanding. Would rather develop Bailey Williams who has looked very promising. Other than this year Lid's has been durable but he's got 2-3 years left. Not sure I want to give away our first rounder for that. I'd offer Richmond the Hamling pick and they'd laugh at me and we can all move on.
Did I just read right? A first round selection for Tuohy?
