Yeah, nah ... that's a pretty short-sighted view of successUntil a team has won a flag i don't think they can be classed as successful either.

Well if your club is happy to come 2nd 3rd 4th or the rest good luck to them. I am looking for flags cause there aint no 2nd prize No one remembers the runner up.Yeah, nah ... that's a pretty short-sighted view of success

Another team with no Success.Opinions aren't facts.
He's an interesting case for sure.
I like the bloke. But until recently, the suggestion that clubs would be clamouring to offer someone with his output $750k+ a year would seem ridiculous.
Inflation in the player free agency market is like the Sydney property market: its quite hard to keep up with what the new normal is.

Does it matter? AFL will tell Essendon what band 1 money is and things will be worked out so that is given to him
oh great. Another pick 2 bullshit comp to North.
The bullshit aspect was arranging the compensation before the contract was signed by McKay. Nothing wrong with what North did. Took advantage of the scam so good on themSave your whinging for Essendon overpaying McKay.
By what metric is McKay getting the offer he did “bullshit compo”?
Well the old Confucius saying is correct, man who attempt masturbate with candle walk road between cockburn and success.
so it did what it was designed to do in that if you want to take players from a bottom placed club then the bottom placed club gets compensated moreThe bullshit aspect was arranging the compensation before the contract was signed by McKay.

Still fair to just admit thats what happened however
Imagine floating the idea where 16 clubs would pay in draft picks for 2 to benefit. It's so stupidly insane, yet here we are.so it did what it was designed to do in that if you want to take players from a bottom placed club then the bottom placed club gets compensated more
Bombers were willing to pay the amount that triggers that level of compensation.
hardly a scam

The compensation for free agents was a good idea, particularly during the expansion club's initial years and to see if there were clubs that were getting raided due to multiple free agents qualifying in the same year. Good little initiative while it was in it's infancy. It hasn't worked out like that at all though so the jumping at shadows was unwarranted.
The fact it's still around is so rotten it's beginning to small like almonds. Time for the league to grow up and stop thinking they have to micro-manage every bloody thing the clubs do.
If you lose a free agent the club already gets compensation in the form of salary cap space and a list spot to draft/trade/sign a new player. They can even, and I know this sounds radical, bring in a free agent of their own (with the extra cap space).
That's how it's suppose to work. Not the garbage that it is now.
We're at the stage where clubs buy draft picks with Cap Space. That should have been the end of it. The two are directly linked and solved the problem.
How?Clubs being allowed to purchase draft picks for cash from other clubs is also something that could be abused and exploited and goes
So was Brad Scott a successful coach in your opinion.This is so stupid.
everyone knows that premierships are the ultimate.
But how do you win premierships?
Step 1) You win games (North are not even here)
Years by
Step 2) You make finals. Then You win finals. You make grand finals. You win the grand final.
It’s clear as day that success is a journey, a ladder, and it’s not like Brisbane is at all equal to North in 2024 because “they both didn’t win in 2023”. Ask
