Who would you have JMac target this year?

[Bulldog4life]

I am happy with Trengrove too. Over the years he has played some very good games for Port. At only 26 years old he is in the right age bracket. I believe he is a restricted free agent so Port can match our offer if they want to

[Twodogs]

No I don't believe so although has been on their Leadership Group for quite a number of years.

Whilst he's not an A grader he will offer KP flexibility, particularly in defence and in the ruck.
He should also bring some solid leadership and sounds like a solid citizen.

If it doesn't break the bank I don't mind it.

He's won a B&F with Port but never been skipper.

Thanks boys.

Would seem unlikely as it looks like he is on the outer at Port.

[Twodogs]

Port won't match 4 years.

What will Port get for compo? They might not want to match the offer.

Massive ? Did he elaborate on the massive bit or was it just media blowing a story up as usual ?

Ledge, I only received the Triple M Adelaide Tweet reference, so I've got no other details.

I'm assuming with Tredrea's long history at Port that he might have good intel there, so it's sounding on the money when cross referenced with Stevo.

It's a non disclosed AFL formula supposedly based on the new contract offer with the player's age.

It's supposedly not disclosed to avoid Club's rorting the offers.

With that said, Club's no doubt make a judgement call on the likely compensation band in determining whether to match the offer.

For Port I'd be guessing it's around an end of 2nd round selection (compo not offered above 3rd round I believe) but the assessment does not seem well defined (deliberately).

2nd round pick I'd say.
Clubs don't normally match offers

That's true. I'm having trouble thinking of the last matched offer.

[Remi Moses]

He has terrific potential and I think we are once again writing off young tall forwards because they aren't plucking marks and kicking bags of goals in their first few years.

More about intent for me . Just haven't seen it yet, but it's early days

Yeah i don't like the word massive. But we know how the media like to spin things out of proportion. I'm guessing it's in the 4 year 550-600k range

Former players always add the superlatives when discussing contracts. Seems a natural reaction to playing in a previous era when the salaries were lower (and a top player at a club was around the 500-600 p.a mark).

There's plenty of money in the footy pie for everyone. I'm sure that Tredrea is making a lot more money from footy right now than ex players made in his playing days.
