Luckily our captain’s Lamborghini ride is probably in no way linked to one of our sponsors.

Pepper Money would’ve picked up the slack if he had ****ed off.

He sells t-shirts for $90. I'd be more surprised if he didn't have a lambo.

The clear loophole in AFL’s free agency compo — and how two clubs exploited it

I agree that the compo for free agents is out of control again. Surely it has to be reviewed again .
Either no compo or end of first round for band 1 and so on

I think it’s fine, for the most part. First round picks are overrated. Real superstars are worth 2-3 of them. The main thing it is missing is a “two first rounders with change going back” band for the actual stars.

Of course, you could just get rid of compensation picks altogether. It would mean fewer players move via free agency, and in theory clubs would then be more likely to match the bid and facilitate a trade if the player is actually worth a pick, or else let them go for nothing, which a late round pick is nothing anyway these days.
