It’s what they live for, despite recent success the handbaggers of yesterday year still haunt them.Im sure that our Geelong supporting lurkers find this thread equally entertaining.
Not quite was actually a "Bendigo Bomber"
Was there VFL side however we don't count Rampe as a former Bulldog because he was at Willy when we were alignedAt the time, the Bendigo Bombers were Essendon's VFL side. They only went standalone in 2013. So W W Biscuit was correct.

No it's not. It means we are more likely to take a decent player in the draft with the pick we get as now two of the duds will be taken by the Saints.This band one compensation news is a disaster for our Geelong pick.
We better be demanding a lot more than just their first now.
Its true. I'm 201cm and my son is tracking to be considerably taller than me, I tell him an afl contract is much easier to come across over 200cm, just need to nail down the basics and be athletic! Blokes like Campbell have carved out a great career.This should be taught to kids at Schools around the country,
If you can't be good just be tall
Did pre-season training with us and was heavily considered to be drafted by us.Was there VFL side however we don't count Rampe as a former Bulldog because he was at Willy when we were aligned
And Liam HenrySo now we get less for OOC Bailey Smith then OOC Harry Perryman righttttttt
This is what happens in other sports:I never understood why the compo pick doesn't have to come in the form of points from hawthorn.
Nothing in life should be for free... Except free agency I guess.
It takes away an even playing field and the ability of clubs to draft and manage list when you get free kicks like Battle to the Hawks for nothing....
Yep it’s an absolute joke that the teams who get penalised the most are the 16 other clubs not involved in the deal. System is cooked.I never understood why the compo pick doesn't have to come in the form of points from hawthorn.

It's been 10 years since they engineers James Frawley (13 total Coaches' votes in six seasons at Hawthorn) to Hawthorn to get Melbourne pick 3. Melbourne got Brayshaw, an All-Australian and a premiership out of that compensation.The AFL and AFLPA have always wanted to make the movement of players between clubs easier. The opacity of the FA compensation system is the perfect way to engineer such desired outcomes. Under this stream everybody involved makes out like bandits.
It's the clubs that get pushed back in the draft or lose players before arriving at FA gravy train station that pay the price of a pineapple up the ol' jacksie. For the AFL and AFLPA largesse.
And we all laugh...
Now watch them blow that pick on a dud and start complaining about inequalities again.And that is why saints didn't give a shit Battle was leaving. He's worth a pick in late teens or 20s at most
