Is this ADC or hardnut by any chance?

Hangon, Who could it be?

How do I tie "Rassilon" in to this joke?

Gone. Again.

AFL is giving port a handout cause they are in such a poor state, simple as that, I doubt anyone can say these were great port players hence worth such compensation.

The systems is a little floored if you are only going to pay compo based on contracts, etc.. how are the small clubs like melbourne, goldcoast etc supposed to get FA's from top sides the only thing we have to offer is $$'s for even the second string players, so in offering them $$'s they get TOP draft picks as compo. When our good players try to go to top clubs to play in a Grandfinal they do so without the $$ inducements, so the poorer clubs dont get the top draft picks. Judging Rivers to be worth only half of a round 3 draft pick seems a bit stupid seeing as he is going to play in defense for a top 4 side.

Compo based on contracts is flawed, but by that rule Port deserved what they got.

Chaplin & Pearce were both on 4 year contracts.

Blame Richmond and Freo.
