So you want to retire him off even though he's still playing ok. He's certainly not at those lofty standards he set throughout his career, but his average is still better than most talls best.

Can't believe how some over rate this kid., he's achieved nothing compared to most that have pulled on the yellow and black.
If he wants to go then adios, no hard feelings and hope we get a decent pick back in the trade.
So you want to give a young player about to enter his prime the ass just to keep a champ at the end of his career?
Cant we just appease the guy and tell him a few white lies? It has to work both ways. He might be miffed at the club for the 2 year deal or he may have been told he is the third cog or he might just want to be the main man.
I just want our future to be served properly.
Not correct! All we do is match the offer ! Then he either stays or we trade him. He is restricted
Who said I wanted to give CJ the ass.
Ok lets put it the other way. Do you want to retire off a champ of our club and current vice-captain, in order to give games to a guy that has played 8 games and is blackmailing the club to play him or lose him?
No he isn't. Players only are eligible for free agencies after 8 years at a club. Other than that its uncontracted. There is no matching clause. The only thing is, a club can delist a player that is out of contract and that player can change clubs without having to go to the draft. If a contract is offered to the out of contract player, they need to delist themselves and go back through the draft, in this case the PSD.
Yeah I don’t particularly wanna lose CCJ but I just don’t see a spot in the best 22 opening until Samson is possibly ready to play. In which case, we got Samson.
Yes one may argue that Jack R will retire but CCJ plays more like Lynch. We don’t particularly want two pack-busters in F50 when Nank/Soldo will be resting there also.
It’s not ideal but CCJ is the victim of success and the age-skewed list that results from that.
It was sometimes hard to tell this year between Jack and Tom which one was closer to retirement....
Coleman-Jones is still living off potential (geez I hate that word). There's no gurantees he goes on to have a great career. I'm sure our offer has taken that into account.
No, you're wrong. He is out of contract. He has not served enough years to be a FA or RFA. Like Jack Martin a few years back who then went on to join the blues via PSD and GC got nothing. Now, if CCJ decided to go to the PSD we would get nothing.
I don't think this will happen, wouldn't think CCJ would screw us, so North will likely hand over pick 20 and that'll be it unless both clubs do some other deal.
FREE AGENCY
What defines free agency in the AFL? If a long-serving player (at least eight years) is falling out of contract, he is classed a free agent by two categories –
RESTRICTED: Players in top 25 per cent of salary bill at the club. He can only move if his current club declines to match free agency offers.
UNRESTRICTED: Players in bottom 75 per cent of the salary bill at the club. He can move as he wishes, regardless of offers from his current club.
Since 2019, “a player who at any time becomes or previously was a free agent will be a free agent at the end of each subsequent contract”.
DELISTED: Players cut by their clubs – are “free agents” regardless of tenure in the game.

I don’t know whether he will be a player or not but it’s not a fair comparison. Is samson Ryan ahead of him in CCJs first season is the correct comparison. CCJs first game against Essendon a few years ago was pretty underwhelming as I recall.
All good.... just post your apology at a time of your choosingNot correct! All we do is match the offer ! Then he either stays or we trade him. He is restricted
Will likely end up down the road at the Huey Dewey and Leweys, as theyve got no rucks.
We essentially have a new recruit in Soldo next year as a back up to Nank with Ryan and Colina coming through. If we lose Chol as well maybe we need a mature aged ruck as insurance, not sure.
What we need more than rucks is key position players coming through imo.
Ryan's first year is also miles behind what CCJ showed in his first year. CCJ was actually pretty ok in that one off game against Essendon.
