Welcome to Collingwood - Harry Perryman

Callum Twomey reporting it as a done deal.

A preliminary and cautious "Welcome to Collingwood, Harry Perryman!

From Collingullie to Collingwood seems like destiny...

25 years of age and doesn't cost us anything to recruit him.

Looks like a good get on the surface, and will ease the burden on N Daicos.

The Advertiser is saying he's on a 6 year $850k per annum deal

That's what media claimed Port were offering him. Media said our "point of difference" was the lure of "midfield time".

So Pies matched Port??

If that's all true, it's a long contract, innit?

...
Getting players that are considered in another teams best 22 can only be a good thing. ...

Err... Careful, now... Mebbe if considered "best-22" by everyone. But if considered just by that club... Hmm...

Collingwood have secured GWS free agent Harry Perryman on a six-year deal.
The 25-year-old Perryman informed his former club of his decision on Tuesday.

He spent the weekend weighing up his offers before deciding to join the club his family has long supported. He is expected to play a range of roles at Collingwood including in the midfield as well as defense after showing his talent as a reliable defender in 129 matches for the Giants.

Perryman was a major attraction for several clubs as he is an unrestricted free agent, meaning he can move to his club of choice without being traded. He would likely command compensation at the end of the first round for the Giants due to the length and potential size of his contract.

Looking forward to Perryman in our team asap.

Perryman and Kennedy are on the way …

Oh my Lord, he is coming as well...

[Culprit]

A Ready-made midfielder is a win. Finn may be traded now IF the interest is good.

The money being put out for Harry, do Nicksters feel it appropriate ????

[RudeBoy]

Perryman seems a good pick up, but I'm not as convinced about the worth of Peatling.

[Presti35]

“He wore number 36 at the Giants due to his love of Dane Swan.”

Will HH be willing to move numbers? He wore 15 in junior days, that could be available if Kreuger is moved on.

buy cheap, pay twice

I remember back page of HS... Daicos $100,000 lol
Shocking to read Stringer (highly doubt it) was getting $450,000.
Fiorini was on $500,000 4 years ago when he couldn't even make the 22. And is still fringe.

I'd reckon given the salary cap these days, $700,000-$900,000 par for the course for a regular.

@Charlie Oneeye
I agree. With free agency, you can’t have it both ways. You can either have the benefit of avoiding a trade and pay a premium ( because it’s a bidding war ) or you sit on your hands, avoid any possible blowback and have other teams pass you by.
He’s best 23, so we’ve already improved before the silly season has even kicked off. At worst he may not meet the expectations of his contract but unlike Shultz, he will never be compared against a trade. It’s a win.

Don't pay the Perryman. Don't even fix a price.
