I know the technicallities of it, but it's illogical.Everyone knows that GC are allowed to take ONE uncontracted player per club. What isn't common knowledge is that they are actually allowed to take a 2nd uncontracted player - provided that they have the approval of all parties involved (ie Brisbane and Brennan).
By doing it this way, GC & Brisbane effectively got the AFL to contribute an extra compo pick to the equation, which went a long way towards evening up the balance between GC & Brisbane.
Brennan is TRADED.....and Brisbane are compensated by the AFL in addition to the GC? Further more, the compensation pick is simultaneously traded in to the GC in the trade.
It's just dirty and illogical in my eyes.
