If you are so sensitive it might be best not telling us what Adelaide should/should not have done a year ago with Tippett. Unless of course you are in the inner sanctum at Adekaide and know what they tried to do last trade period. If you did, you wouldn't be posting such authoritative ill informed rubbishYou seem to be implying I'm responsible for Fremantle's trades.
Your comparison is laughable. Clown...

You've never played in a game that mattered.
Not that Adelaide would know anything about GF in the last 15 years.

Not sure about that, in the last 15 years we've won twice as many as the Hawks. Try 13 years next time

Can we expect an article from pseudo-president Kennett in the paper tomorrow?

Clearly you're a fan of US sports and are familiar with how free agency works over there. I'm not, and I'm sure a lot of other AFL fans aren't either. The concept of a team losing a top 3 player like Goddard and receiving significant unders in return is foreign to me. The thought of that team receiving absolutely nothing is even worse.
I'm sure I will get my head around it, but I'm not looking forward to the day when Geelong loses a valuable player - like Goddard, Pearce, Rivers or Young - and receives little in return. Port and Essendon already showed that the system can be manipulated in a way - trading Monfries instead of letting him leave as a FA - and in time other clubs will learn how to use the system to their advantage. But until then...
Hawk fans have Young's contract way out of kilter.
The reason Young's compensation was a 3rd round was due to the contract he signed being small.
Pearce was offered a much more lucrative contract and hence Port receives greater compensation.
Young ain't on 400K...more like 275K
Actually it would be 14........guess you ran out of fingers
So in actual fact you dont know.....you are just makin shite up to suit your arguement.

As if it is some straight forward formula based on remuneration.

1997 was 15 years ago, 1998 14 years ago, 1999 13 years ago
Young was an unrestricted free agent so matching offers has nothing to with it. So you made it up. Thats a surprise.
hurrah......you finally caught up.........yep, nearly half hour behind. bout right
Not sure why a club should be compensated for not doing their job...
The system needs a massive overhaul. "Trade Week" is just plain stupid. Have a trade deadline set at Round 14 or 15. If a club gets rumblings that they may find it difficult to re-sign a star player for the following season they can start dealing that player off to the highest bidder/best offer. If a club loses two or three of their forwards through injury early in the season why shouldn't that club be able to trade for a forward from another club who is languishing in the magoos?
Having the player choose the club they want to be traded to is ridiculous and results in Luke Ball and "Dodgy Noggin" Tippett scenarios where the team that player is to be delivered to replies with silly offers for that player.

Aren't you in Adelaide also and therefore 30 mins behind with me? For what it is worth I reckon you got way unders for Young. Strange thing this compensation in FA. Pearce and Young about the same standard footballer for mine, compensation is not
i was going to just like this post for it's thoughts on the trade period extending throughout the season, but that wouldnt have given the necessary props to the name "Dodgy Noggin".
So.... i "Like" that bit especially

Don't think, Do.
I hope not, but I can see it happening. 8 years in Melbourne, his housemate moved back, might prompt a move back home to finish off his career.
Some interesting logic employed by the AFL here:
1. Tying compensation to contract size - yes, it's a market value, but if your club loses a player, you better hope they're completely mercenary and go to the bottom club that's offering the most money because they're the ones with room in their salary cap. Because if said player sacrifices dollars to go to a top club to chase success, your compo will suffer.
2. Tying picks to ladder position - make the picks end of round or mid round; why should the value of the compo bear any relation to where the club happened to finish that year?
Like others, I question whether there should be any compo though; and if there is, surely it should come at the expense of the clubs who benefitted from FA (such as my club this year) rather than everyone?

Pick 1...
It's pretty much only about that. Combined with their age. Zero consideration went into how good a player is. That's been judged by the contract.
Yeah - no.

Clubs create informed opinions. Hawthorn were wrong about Young.
More tears?Shafted by the AFL as always.
