It is isn't it? Really illuminating.

They have clubs they don't question, favourite clubs and others that they bash and undermine relentlessly.

According to the media, Scott is a genius, the Cats recruiting and admin are Gods and everything that club does is beyond reproach.

We have a lazy captive media.

On a side note, let's never forget that James Frawley because he was a free agent attracted Pick 3. Pick 3. The whole system is screwed. 🤪
Free Agency Compo has always been a joke..I'm pretty sure Frawley was Pick 2 actually. Meanwhile Prime Buddy Franklin was Pick 19. Compensation is just a roll of the dice.
 
Ned McHenry worth a shot? I grew up playing footy with him, he was a mad Doggies supporter.

Can cover ground really well, but not much else
 
With the Battle compo + Lombard/Ashcroft and potentially Kako bid our first this year would've been 15-16, Huge turn around of form late makes the Sanders trade look very good was very worried after that Port game but realistically now ends up being 13 + 23 (useless Croft bid anyway) + 15/16 for 6

Still probably a slight overpay, but only slight, and not the disaster a lot try to make it out to be.

Yep - the whole point being that if we were to "rescind" the lack of free agency rights on Smith (not possible under the current rules but operating in theory), we'd get more in compensation than if Geelong were trading for him, and it wouldn't be Geelong who pay the price (losing their draft pick), it would be the 16 other clubs (everyone goes back 1 draft spot, with us getting the compensation pick and Geelong getting their player).

Shows how it's a broken system.
The fact a player has more freedom when they’re younger and out of contract than they do after they’ve paid their dues up to
FA is just plain wrong. And the fact clubs get better compensation for losing a FA who has paid their dues compared to a younger player who just chooses to not re-sign makes it even fecking worse.
