Keep it civil and on topic, or keep it to yourself.

Thanks.

I can understand and sympathise with saints fans looking to get a top 10 pick compo for Josh as if anyone had to trade for him, that's what it would take to trade him in. But, this has and should have no bearing on what Hawthorn offer for him in regards to the band 1 that saints want.

Dunno man, I reckon he’d probably get you Pick 15 if you had to trade for him ?.

He’s a good player but he’s not elite level yet.

It'll be end of first round compo that will end up being pushed back to pick 23-25 after academy/father son bids.

Media has been reporting it since it came out that Battle wanted to join us.

Going to be a sad day for the Saints fans unfortunately

No one should ever get top 10 picks for spud defenders.







From this year onwards!

No one should get anything, for anyone. Compensation is a joke and can never be fair.
Why should all the clubs behind them in the draft be penalized for their inability to create and environment that the player wants to stay in?
It’s being manipulated by clubs and by the AFL whenever it suits them. Should tell us all something about the legitimacy of compensation as a concept

 

[cdcanman]

Didn’t Morris say he will be earning less than he did at St Kilda?

Not less than he did earn, but less than he would’ve earned if he stayed.
Who knows if that’s actually correct though.

And in the ultimate screw job Battles signs for Geelong.

I could care less what St Kilda get as compensation for Battle, because it will be a lot more than Hawthorn got for Buddy.

Life's a bitch. Suck it up.

You know that you got Band 1 right? But because you won the flag it was pick 19?

If Battle nets Band 2 (which is likely) it will be exactly what Hawthorn got for Buddy

 

[SSSSSS]

Hurry up and sign the ting.

Such a shit system. We should of got **** all for Buddy and so should any team that loses a free agent.

Calculate the compo based on the formula, then decide whether to massage it for reasons.
