I reckon the general board would light up with a topic like that.

Tell us how much you would keep if the world was offered to you.

I'm happy with $100k p.a. No one needs more than that, unless they're supporting multiple people.

Good article explaining Ellis' background:

Set to join Gold Coast after the GF for 5 years at 600k a season. Too good to knock back IMO, take the money and run Brandon.

PS. Tigers laughing at the compo pick they are going to get.

Lynch and then pick 20 approx for losing Ellis who they didn’t want to keep.

Gotta love equalisation AFL style.

Pick 39 actually. And Richmond wanted to keep him, but as a free agent they couldn't afford his asking price and years.

Did they get pick 39? That is much fairer.

Yes. He gave Richmond very good service and was a worthwhile contributor to 2 flags. That should just about be enough.

Free agent = win

His disposal = averge

His contested ball use = atrocious 

21.5 disp per game @ 77% this season

6.5 contested possessions average this season

3.7 turnovers average & 2.5 tackles

not bad but not worth $3m over 5 years.....

 

Good luck to him. He deserves a payday, might now be able to buy his missus a bra, shirt and pants.

Another trade broken, notch that up as another exclusive DL. #ETthetradebreaker.

NAH, GET A NEW ONE...

 

I just wonder did the mfc demand the afl explain as tigers did with Ellis compensation. Tigers have won 2 flags yet they are fighting for the best deal.. does the mfc?

You have absolutely no idea what our club negotiated with the AFL Commission a few weeks ago.

Be a little more logical and have a think about why we might have gone quiet RE: GCS' priority pick.

Im not trying to be smart, but do you actually think the AFL care what the clubs have to say?

Last I heard from the AFL (about club land) the coaches were killing the game.

Let alone a minor club like ours - would jumping up and down make u feel better?

Just asking the question are we fighting as club to ensure the best deal?

That is a fair question.

The OP is definitely implying both cases are the same, yet one is draft assistance and the other is FA compensation. It's not apples with apples.
