Let's just take Clarry and Melb's first and pass that on for Houston.
I’d love clarry, kozzie and Petracca. Our midfield would be fixed. A potent small to back up Higgins.

Spud.
In amongst a sea of shiite from the previous administration, if Battle ends up as a band 2 due to him being a UFA, I will NEVER forgive.
And in the game he played where he was subbed off, he was subbed off because we were getting slaughtered at clearance. Stopped once Marshall went into the ruck.
Good luck to Battle.
Not convinced the compensation will be what we want - we’ll see.
We move on and plan for his replacement.

Apparently Roughhead heavily involved in the deal....Thanks mate, come to Saints, break Patons leg and ruin his career, then swipe a key defender.
You big ginger campaigner.

So when do we get officially shafted by the AFL compensation?
Hopefully we've screwed the Hawks future cap up.

As late as possible, to draw the pain out.
I’m hoping the reports of us increasing our offer made the hawks up their original offer increasing the chances we get our consecutive picks.

lol, Paton was really never the same after that injury, he was tracking towards being one of the best small lockdown defenders in the comp in 2020
The only hope is that Hawthorn stumped up a bit more cash and contract length.
If not and we offered more and still got knocked back won't sit well with many.
More so if it isn't Band 1 Compo.

The article on the saints website had him saying he has done the best for his family - money and or length of contract ?

My view is if a player doesn't want to be at the club, then goodbye and good luck. I only want players at the club who want to play for us. We couldn't have done anything else to keep him. Let's just pray we get Band 1 compensation (because a top 10 pick for him is overs).

Ok fair enough.
But it is tom campbell we are talking about.
Not an actual decent AFL ruckman.
There is plenty of evidence to suggest our current mids could/would hold their own in clearance differential at the feet of an actual decent AFL ruckman.
The argument that marshall being a dud tap ruckman is fine because our mids are rubbish anyway- is totally flawed
That is my hope too.
My worry is that Battle has left for the original amount offered by Hawthorn, which might be just shy of band 1, and that Hawthorn were not actually able to up their offer due to landing Barrass. Or maybe they just added an extra year to the contract, which wouldn't help us at all re compo.
Then after we complain, the AFL changes the formula so that from NEXT YEAR the compensation is based off the contract offered by the current club, and not the players future club (which is the way it should be to stop smaller clubs getting screwed over by players choosing success over money).
Here's hoping that I am wrong, and that this is not another Cam McKenzie screw over
