The AFL has announced its compensation picks for this years draft, with Hawthorn receiving pick #19 for the loss of LAnce Franklin. Hawthorn is not amused. “We understand there are rules around free agency compensation, however we believe it is inequitable that compensation is linked to ladder position,” Hawks chief executive Stuart Fox said in a statement on hawthornfc.com.au.
The full list of compensation picks is as follows:
- Collingwood – Round 1 compensation pick for loss of Dale Thomas.
- Hawthorn – Round 1 compensation pick for loss of Lance Franklin.
- Melbourne – Round 2 compensation pick, loss of Colin Sylvia.
- St Kilda – Round 2 compensation pick, loss of Nick Dal Santo.
- Carlton – No compensation after net result of Dale Thomas coming in as a free agent and Eddie Betts departing as a free agent
- Richmond – No compensation for loss of Matty White.
- Hawthorn – No compensation for loss of Xavier Ellis.
