    Would suck if Sewell left. Can't see many clubs being after him except Melbourne and GWS.

    Tough decision for Shaw to make too, very tough to turn down a deal like that. Equally hard to say no to Geelong as well.

    I'm hearing this

    Brisbane: Pick #19, D. MacKay, S. Savage
    Adelaide: J. Polec, T. O'Brien, Pick #55
    Hawthorn: B. Longer, R. Henderson, S. McKernan

    Bris. Give: J. Polec, B. Longer
    Adel. Give: R. Henderson, D. MacKay, S. McKernan
    Haw. Give: Pick #19, S. Savage, T. O'Brien, Pick #55

    Was also mentioned that the exact look of picks might be a little. I'd say it's more likely 55 goes to brissy and the hawks upgrade the crows 3rd into their 2nd.

    Brisbane would froff at that. Do the Hawks really need McKernan though?
     
  4. Dirk Diggler DM Diggler

    Do not want Henderson or McKernan.
     
  5. Dirk Diggler DM Diggler

    Plus it's up to Savage if he wants to leave Melbourne which I highly doubt.
     
  6. MatthewJay TA Miokovic

    Savage said he's willing to play anywhere iirc
     
  7. Dirk Diggler DM Diggler

    Wherever he's gonna get the most opportunity.
     
  8. MatthewJay TA Miokovic

    He could walk into Brisbane's leadership group.
     
  9. Dirk Diggler DM Diggler

    I still doubt he'd move to Brisbane. It's different if you're drafted, but when you have a choice and several Melbourne based clubs are offering better deals it'd be pretty stupid to move.

    Terry Wallace seems to think that Hawthorn will get 2 compo picks for Franklin.
     
  11. Dirk Diggler DM Diggler

    Hope it happens.

    Melbourne got 2 picks for Scully.
    Geelong got 2 picks for Ablett.
    St Kilda got 2 picks for Goddard.
     
  12. MatthewJay TA Miokovic

    Compo system was different during the GC/GWS periods.
     
  13. morgieb MC Burridge

    No they didn't.
     
  14. Skippos SM Morgan

    StKilda only got 1.

    GC/GWS was v. different in the scheme to free agency.

    more generous, really. port got a 2nd for krakouer lol
     
  15. Dirk Diggler DM Diggler

    Was given wrong information :facepalm:
     
  16. Scottie NG Scott

    No one should get compo picks.
     
  17. Dirk Diggler DM Diggler

    So then Melbourne, St Kilda, Footscray etc just become feeder clubs for the bigger sides?

    Sounds good.
     
  18. MatthewJay TA Miokovic

    Yeah I hate the idea of no-compo picks as it'd rape clubs at the bottom of the ladder.
     
  19. MatthewJay TA Miokovic

  20. Scottie NG Scott

    Well no, it won't. How would it be any different to now anyway? The clubs at the bottom of the ladder will still be a feeder club with free agency regardless of whether they get compensated.

    It's only a problem if you continue to allow players to be paid outside of the salary cap with endorsement and employment deals from what are essentially related parties. All things being as they should be, each club is constrained by roughly the same salary cap (NSW and QLD excluded, but hopefully that'll change).

    The compensation you'd get from losing a player to free agency would be extra cap space. There's no good reason to give Hawthorn, for example, what is effectively "double compensation" by (a) giving them extra cap space to spend on a player say at the end of next season and (b) access to one of the best kids in the draft.
