It’s 3 with Konstanty going isn’t it?
Compo picks are of little value unless you're a bottom club. Just like Hawthorn getting pick 19 for the best player in the competition and who was earning the most money after winning the flag in 2013.Need to get him to free agency and get the compo

If I had my way there wouldn’t be any in the first round. My personal belief is free agency should be that but at worst make the first round free. If Franklin can get pick 18 compo why do others need more makes zero sense. Just put them after r1, it would stop this ridiculous thing of clubs where it’s better to let players go for a free top 10 pick. You want to do it for pick 20 be my guest
Correct
No he wasn’t. We traded the Dawson pick to the Hawks.
Got us Vickrey, the future picks were involved in the Grundy and the trade for Stephens which got us the extra 1st Round pick this year.

Even if we did finish last we wouldn’t do it. Club has said a few times over the years that it doesn’t operate like that and values good trading relationships.
I think they won the trade period again.

We have 34 main list spots taken and can go up to 38 and we have 5 list spots overall available post trade period
I thought Adelaide were fair traders too a few years ago.
While I respect West Coast as a club I do worry that if you guys are offered the chance to get a player of Warner's quality for practically nothing you might just go for it.
I think Sydney better be damn sure Warner is going to re-sign or what they have done in the last week is going to bite us in the arse a lot.
I know what I’m talking about.

Bulldogs as well will be hard to beat, GC improving.
Clarko wanted to get him so that he can challenge him to a wrestling match.
Seasons over before it started.
Imagine when the draw comes out, that will be the final nail in the coffin.
Unfortunately mate, I can’t get the GF out of my head.
I will watch this team next year but even when they are doing their finger twirling after a goal or Paps does his full of bravado bumping of unsuspecting players after a goal, my image of the team will always now be of the timid bunch of soft f k n c . cos that showed no fight on that day. Not once but twice.
Sorry until they win the flag this lot are tainted in my mind & heart until our team has turned this lot over for an untainted new lot.
They won’t see another GF this lot & nor should they.

Actually confident about next year myself as I do feel the penny has dropped maybe it’s blind faith
That is not funny.Wicked thought, but imagine if North play Swans at SCG for Parker’s 300th, then late in the game Konstanty tackles Mills and re-dislocates his shoulder
The clubs seem to have a good relationship when we have traded so I’d hope we wouldn’t go down that path & it’s fair for both parties.
A ITK poster on the eagles board mentioned earlier today that if you won the GF Warner was gone & that the deal would have been 3 & our F1 for Warner & your pick which is now 22. He appears to be legit IMO

We'll rue not trying to make it happen.

Senior List
So, who are we drafting with our 2 late first rounders?
Without having had too much of a look so far this year, perhaps drafting both the Whitlock twins would be a handy get? I think they both stand 199cm and 200cm, so a couple of good size KPP that can play both ends!

You have made this point regularly but it's all about the AFL's equalisation so they're not going to change it. If a player is taken from a top club and is offered $1M a year by his new club that club gets an ordinary compensatory pick even though it is still band 1. The AFL feels successful clubs can afford to lose some free agents.
If however that scenario plays out with a lower club, the AFL feels compelled to give them better compensation as they cannot afford to lose their better players hence a better pick.
I realise it compromises the draft but I can live with that. If I were a supporter of a bottom placed club and had one of the bigger/successful clubs (or those who aren't subject to the salary cap like Geelong) take our best player under f/a and my club received no compensation, I would be totally pissed off.
Unfortunately it is too hard to predict. Inside the top 15 you can usually get an okay understanding of who will be available at your pick but outside the top 20 it is basically just throwing names out there as there is no real science, educated guesses or inside knowledge about it.
