Buggered if I know how it happened but BZT came 7th in the Port B&F
Uwland came 2nd for GCS so I can't see why they think they need Noble and Rioli. Admittedly I haven't seen anything from GCS saying they are. Knowing GCS they will give him a 4 yr deal and he will be playing 2s in a couple of years.

the Zerk-Thatcher comparison is deeply accurate - they are very similar players - good in the air - terrible and slow with ball in hand
I don't think he is much chop but was thinking in the 30s
The special sauce is for teams who haven't won a premiership for a while or an interstate club non footy state club to give them a leg up, or Collingwood. The rest get fair value or nothing in Carlton's case (e.g. Waite).
Early 3rd rounder is about what he is worth. Is he better than MK? - I don't think so. We will be lucky to get that for MK if he leaves. Graham is very much a role player that can't play full time mid. If he could they wouldn't have chased Taranto and Hopper.

Effectively Graham compo for Kennedy then?
I better stop parading that FA compo like it’s the funniest thing ever then

The secret compo formula the AFL refuses to provide transparency over is obviously deeply flawed...to the point you would be better off just having a panel of experts deciding. I like the idea that the team getting the player is penalised draft points but some would argue it might restrict player movement?
Feels weird with Taranto & Hopper, both in terms of balance and their afl origins.
But maybe they just want to take whoever they can get, in terms of quality.

Lordy!
They’re the last club he should go to.
Already have a couple of well paid, long term, inside ball winners.
HFF for Matt if he heads there…

Houston isn't nominating because it helps Port get the best deal. He probably won't nominate a club until he is 100% sure that club is willing to pay the assets Port want.

Houston’s currency is becoming ridiculous. If our F1 & F2 doesn’t get a pick to get it done than walk away…
Use the F1 & F2 to trade for a player of need, a KPD, elite small forward or mid with pace or a first rounder to go to the draft…

And experience, They've lost a lot.
If they can't get rid of compo completely, just get rid of the first 2 Bands, so that Band 1 becomes after your 2nd round pick. Gives a bonus to a poor team as opposed to a top team, but much lower stakes.
1st round is uncompromised, and the bottom teams don't get screwed on their early 2nds.
my thoughts are picks only land at the end of rounds, and when the contract value & length is considered it needs to be compared against other free agents rather than the rest of the playing pool as it's clearly a different (heavily inflated) market. Eliminates the first round being compromised by compensation picks, but also pushes quite a few of the current band 1 & band 2 picks back as they're being compared to FA contracts rather than trade and extension contracts.
If a cellar dweller gets ravaged then the afl would step in for some form of additional assistance anyway, like they have with North and GCS.

maybe make band 1 - two end of first round picks - i dont hate the pick 11 for band 1 either
Nope
Neither solution solves the problem of compo.
Other clubs get screwed over for a team losing a player (often due to their own choice).
Straight swap for the Baker pick is only fair.
Hopper perennially injured though.
