Free agency compensation is literally 1 club getting a player for free whilst the 16 clubs not party to the exchange compensate the 1 club losing that player.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

The Giants have been handed Band 1 compensation for Harry Perryman's move to Collingwood. Will slide in at Pick 16

It's outrageous, but $900K a year over 6 years, the pick was going to land there. He's an ok half back flanker.

The history of pick 16 is not on GWS' side. Less than about a 30% chance of landing a serviceable role player which is what Perryman is.

 

[Doctor Feel]

St Kilda has been handed band 1 compo for josh battle.(pick 8)

lol so we should just lose Dan to free agency and get a better deal yeah?

 

[Doctor Feel]

actually that bad?

Gollant will be a more than handy state league forward for a no ALF in the SALF club for the next decade he just goes to water at AFL level.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Was Will Hamill actually that bad?

Gollant will be a more than handy state league forward for a no ALF in the SALF club for the next decade he just goes to water at AFL level.

Hamill could play, but had pretty bad concussion issues. I don't think the delisting is surprising.

 

[JimmyBC]

Ned should've been delisted two years ago really I reckon they ploughed on hoping because of how high they drafted him.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

The only saving grace is that it makes that 2024 first rounder we traded out even less valuable.

[jackag24]

lol our Karl Amon compo was so ****ing underbaked, holy shit.

Amon only got around 600k from Hawthorn IIRC. 4 year deal i think?

These 6 year deals @800-950k are considerably larger than Amon's

The compo being based on cash is ****ing dumb.

 

[Andre]

Are you naive enough to believe this having seen the compensation given to Geelong for Motlop (it was tied to GAJ) and Amon (Port tax), for example?

Hence why those are the 'guidelines', but the AVFL won't release any concrete rules for determining the compensation. Like everything, it works backwards from 'this is the outcome we want for this VFL club / Victoria in general, what steps will get us there?'.

 

[jackag24]

The compo being based on cash is ****ing dumb.

I agree that the system obviously needs an overhaul, especially since we have no idea how they come up with the compensation pick

 

[OneGreatClub]

Oh no.. what about Ned’s fishing reports

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

The compo being based on cash is ****ing dumb.

If not cash then what?
At least cash is an actual value unlike “ability/potential”

 

[Bevoman]

lol so we should just lose Dan to free agency and get a better deal yeah?

No: you get a pick predicated on your postion on the ladder, for example, had it been this year we would have got pick 18.
That is wha a lot of players are traded one year out, as pre-agency deals.

 

[TeeKray]

A better idea is to not have compensation picks at all. It's called free agency for a reason.

 

[Festerz]

Delisting the Gallant was long overdue. An absolute wreck with zero trade value.



(and on a personal note I'm very disappointed that I will no longer be able to milk that pic for the up votes after another Advertiser 'brave Gollant' headline)

 

[RossFC]

A better idea is to not have compensation picks at all. It's called free agency for a reason.

Clubs down the bottom + GWS and Gold Coast will get destroyed if they don't get compo picks.

Greater Western Sydney will receive a band two pick for free agent Isaac Cumming
