lol Geelong is going to get a late 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder for Ablett. What a joke.

No they won't.

Look up the rules.

Dont think so ... IMHO thats why the AFL changed the rules. Pre-rule change it was much worse.

The "interesting" anomaly is that ... say a player like Martin would attract the same compensation as a player like Ablett.

However, suppose it was always going to be difficult to keep all parties happy.

The Cats really burnt out at a bad time, Ablett is a done deal.

For the moment in the OP for Jarrod Harbrow (now confirmed Suns bound player (uncontracted) ) I have put end of 1st round as compensation. Can someone confirm if this is correct ?

Yep the compo for Harbrow is correct. Can't believe Campbell Brown is rated the same as Rischitelli, Harbrow and Bock. Hawks must be laughing!!

Brown will provide the GC with some much needed grunt. Whilst not in their best players, his toughness will be sorely missed next year.

Brown is a Premiership player, also a past All Australian, who still has plenty left to give.

Fair appraisal- however Richitelli has just one the B&F for his club- surely he would be at 22 years of age ahead of Brock & Brown in the picking order.

I'm not saying Gold Coast wouldn't be happy to get him! I'm talking about the compensation the AFL gave the Hawks. There is no way he is equal to those players and the Hawks are laughing all the way to the bank

Mick, I am saying the compo is right. I'm not talking about the GC.

better had add you know who to that list at start !! lol

better had add you know who to that list at start !! lol

who = Brad Miller?? Lol.

I think they'll also shortly announce Ablett ©, with Bock and Brown (joint vc's)

Err...Ablett?

Seems also like Brennan will be traded to the Suns for one of their top 10 picks.

In all seriousness, how many players can the GC have on their list?

Below is a link to a list of players that are under contract for 2011 or will be under contract for 2011 (note, some players are players about to be selected in the National Draft). Just how many spots do they have for uncontracted players, as well as actual draft selections? So far they apparently have 34 under contract (this includes Day/Bennell/Swallow who have not been drafted yet) and still have to make a good 10+ draft selection after that. Are they building a football club or a freakin army??

Wiki can always be a sketchy source, just interested to know how hypothetically how many players the GC team can sign for the senior/rookie lists?

IIRC 50 combined

Edit: initially, then it drops back to normal over 4-5 years (I think)

Edited October 6, 201015 yr by daisycutter

Jared Brennan and Josh Fraser to be announced as the last two senior players to be taken. Fraser as Collingwood's uncontracted player, Brennan in a trade.

Team's coming along OK now. Bock and Brown for defensive roles, Ablett, Rischitelli and D. Swallow in the midfield with Josh Fraser and that kid Smith as the rucks, Brennan can play forward, Krakouer and Harbrow give run off half back and Karmichael Hunt to stand there and attract attention. Throw in some high quality draft picks and they'll be OK in 2011.

...

OP updated.

Massive, massive winners in trade week this week and many more years to come.

Plus the added bonus of Cloke "potentially" still on the table

They might not be laughing that loudly now that they've traded the Campbell Brown compensation pick for David Hale. That's an All Australian premiership player who was a team regular in 2010 for a slow beanpole who spent half of 2010 as the second string ruckman to a 28 year old who's never been on any AFL team's list in the past.

Worth noting that the Suns have also signed Joel Wilkinson as a zone selection.

Absolutely dominated the athletic tests at the Draft Combine.

Could be anything (but probably wasn't going to go until the 2nd round).

Bastards.

And they delist 2 ruckman at the same time. If Renouf or Hale go down they are screwed. Moreso if the former goes down.

Thank christ they arn't running our FD.

When do the freebies end? Talk about the royal treatment!

I'm concerned a monster is being created. I'm concerned this Frankenstein is going to rise at an inconvenient time for us.

I hate that this plug and play culturless afterthought of an AFL club is going to be a mojor threat to what could rightfully be ours. How many heartbreaks have they had?

Just wait until it's a full moon. The freebies end when the salary cap comes back into line with the existing clubs. ~5 years ??
