Free Agency Brandon Ellis [Signs for Gold Coast, Richmond receive #39 compensation]

[Jirik13]

lol

Here we go, selection 39. Let's see what people decide. Did AFL screw up Tigers or salary is not around $600K, 5 years. I go with the first option, the committee did not like the compensation result of the formula

You are unbelievable crying over pick 39.

Bit surprised tbh:

 

[Accepted 04]

That compo is far more realistic than the speculation of first round

Yet Motlop and Lycett got given end of first round?

Yeah I hear you but even you know Ellis is barely with this compo received here.
Can’t have any complaints

 

[Skull Face]

Fair compo, reckon GC will end up regretting giving him 5 years though.

I do think that’s about right for Ellis, but how can everyone be ok with the double standards shown?

You can’t punish a team for being successful, which is what Barrett has been sooking about all week. If Motlop and Lycett were apparently worth that much it means that Ellis is too.

 

[Barnzy]

Rules continue to made up as they go.

600k 5 years deal, player in his prime. All comparable deals have been a band higher.

Lol corrupt AFL bending to media pressure once again.

This is AFL—there’s no such thing as “equal”
Hawks got a first rounder for one of the greatest players ever....

?

Averages 22 games per season
2 time premiership player
Was a 1st round draft pick
First year of being a free agent (many years left in career)

Salary cap has gone up since comparable deals were made.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

We have this man to thank for getting justice for the 17 other clubs!!!

 

[Burtman]

Pick 38 here we come

Lol ****ing told ya

Stop sooking. Carlton got nothing for Waite and Betts, both far better players than Ellis.

 

[La Dispute]

Would attract around pick 25-35 on the open market so it’s not a huge discrepancy, but surely given the contract the compo would be a late first.

Lycett was one of the best players in the 2018 Grand Final.

We got nothing for Betts because of Daisy, but I never understood the AFL’s reluctance to give us anything for Waite.

If not for Free Agency we’d still get a few token pick upgrades for him, and he had a very solid end to his career at North as it panned out.

 

[Apex36]

You’d have to assume the AFL has stepped in with their ‘discretion’ clause here. The reported contract was probably worth band 2, but clearly Ellis as a player is not worth anything close to that. Tigers fans won’t like it, but the AFL actually got one right for once.

 

[Camsta]

You got Lynch (probably the best fwd in the comp) last year for NOTHING - while every other club in the league paid with our compo pick 3

Sit down.......

Please comb every recent draft and list me 20 better players each draft better than Ellis.

This will be entertaining. People overrate picks so much.

 

[Handsuper47]

I'm fine with the compensation but considering how the ones for Motlop and Lycett were handled, it does seem like the AFL is making it up as they go. Different rules for different clubs..

Teams shouldn't get any compensation for players over 30. You've had 12 years of services and if they leave it is because you don't really want them that badly( as was the case with Waite). Usually comes down to someone else giving them a 2 year deal over a one year deal.
