FA Compo Open to More AFL Manipulation

As rpfc pointed out above, Adrian Anderson was quoted by Jon Pierik in the Age - Saints in the dark over Goddard plans:-

''We confirm that the compensation formula will produce a points rating for players based on two factors:

1) new contract of the free agent and

2) age of the free agent.

''Draft picks will be allocated to clubs based on the net total points for free agents lost and gained during the transfer period. Draft picks will be allocated to one of five places: first round, end first round, second round, end of second round and third round.''

The criteria are very simple in the case of the compo for Moloney/Byrnes. They are both of similar age and therefore the only aspect that comes into play between Moloney/Byrnes on the matter of compensation is what they are going to be paid and the length of their contracts.

    Contract details anyone?

    I only know that they both got 2 years.

    Port Adelaide apparently believe that the longer the contract - the bigger the compensation (Pearce got 4 years at Freo) but we will see.

    And on the 21st day of FA it came to pass, the AFL manipulated the compo picks and then rested.

  • Quote

    WJ i respectfully suggest no one , yourself included , knows what weight is given to any component of the supposed criteria.

    In reality its as much made up as formulated. Why was pa given two and no other team

    Theirs seems ajudged significantly different .

    Its all so bogus. Im with Red, dumbfounded, bemused and concerned at the chicanery.

    Why hasn't the AFL released the criteria for awarding picks and I mean the real detail? In other words how many dollars change the level of compo. What is $500k worth, what is $1m worth, what is $1.5m and so on.

    It is all a big secret.

    Byrnes worth nothing to Cats in compo, somehow negates all of Moloney's compo to us. How did that happen? What were the criteria used to come to that decision? Surely deducting Byrnes from Moloney leaves a balance in our favour. How is it when that is added to Rivers you still get a single pick at the worst band of compo. How are Young and Murphy only worth pick 66. Young would be on very good money to leave the Hawks.

    The AFL's lack of transparency in these types of decisions, leaves it open to criticism and they couldn't care less. If the media weren't up their arse, the real questions would be asked.

    If you think about that is the club's fault. I think by the end most of us knew that Moloney's compensation would be negated by acquiring Byrnes. We should have done what Port Adelaide have done and actually thought about it and decided to trade for Byrnes instead of using free agency.

    Clubs queueing up to get Moloney and a massive contract bidding war I must've missed?

    No UFAs were traded. Monfries was RFA. The distinction matters because it gives the home club some rights to hold the player.

    UFA has none. I believe that it was not possible to trade for Byrnes.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
