When do we find out what pick we get?

Apparently late today earlier tomorrow.

I have to shake my head at the AFL not releasing the compensation result until 5pm or later. This is like the twit recruiters who sit there for the full five minutes wondering who they'll pick at #2. Inept.

Exactly it should be done straight away. Just plug the numbers into the formula.

I think they would find it easier if the formula wasn't pulling a number out of their collective backside. There's very little transparency, and they seem to like to have the wriggle room to chop and change as they see fit.

Apparently they need to check the contract before making the call on compensation.

Frawley deal only 4 years according to Hawthorn's list manager.

I'm worried

[Demon_JB 1,389]

Higgins got four years at $400k. Doggies received 2nd bad compensation. I would assume Frawley is on 4 years @ 600. Will this get us over the line as 1st band compensation?

[Tony Tea 2,814]

I am sad.

Yet again, a senior player has decided after 8 or so seasons that we aren't worth the bother of trying to turn around.

I know we will get compensated handsomely but a bunch of blokes who should have been 1 club players (Beamer, Col, Riv and now Chip) will finish their careers elsewhere like Stan Alves and Greg Wells to get the success they could never get at our club. That being said, this will probably only apply to Riv and Chip as Col is probably not going to get a game in Freo's firsts and Beamer lasted a season and a half at Brisbane.

I don't feel bitterness towards Chip but I feel sad at what our club has become and that we have yet to have our 'Travis Boak' moment

Beamer was a THREE club player.

Pick 3 for a 4 year deal James has really screwed Melbourne over here. I can not see band 1 for a 4 year deal even with 500 to 550 a year

People forget, it's not purely a money related thing.. It's age, player profile, achievements etc. we're losing the only All Australian player on our list.. We'll be compensated fairly, even if 17 other clubs sook about it.

I suspect that if there is a clause for a 5th year based upon performance criteria, it would have to be factored into the total contract amount. Doesn't player age have something to do with it as well?

Age does have something to do with it and I feel the AFL looks at how crucial the player was to the teams line up and they will consider that an AA full back for a struggling club is definitely worthy of a band 1.

very little= NONE

its a sham....a con.... a political beast

Yes, plug it into the "formula"

An AA Full back that played as a key forward this year.

no they didn't. they got band 3 compensation (2nd round pick). Band 2 is end of round 1.

I would think..JUST !!! ( and yes if its as I suspect really a camouflaged pseudo semi assistance pick )

I was thinking the same ....re that 5th year. Age is very much a factor ( if they want it to be that is .... )

[Demon_JB 1,389]

no they didn't. they got band 3 compensation (2nd round pick). Band 2 is end of round 1.

Sorry, band 3.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

I am bracing for band 2. But hoping a deal was struck when the priority pick was declined.

Not quite true, we still have Jamar. But I'm not surprised that no one remebers he was an AA ruck one year.

[TheoX 1,222]

Dale Thomas had a 4 year deal on 2.5mill with a 5th year trigger, same as this filthy [censored]. Must be band 1.
