Pick 39 compensation we got what a corrupt organisation the afl is all by that witch haunt by Barrett.

Remember how we got Bolton?

Sat with his Mum at a game, super lady, she was so proud, sad to see so many people bagging him, you have no idea how much comments can hurt extended family.
Well done Brandon, great career….. respect

Australia really has gone to the poo

Not once has anyone attacked Brandon the person

If people want to question him as a player , then good luck to them

Just remember , we pay their wages

No members, no millions to pay these guys

And when Brandon is receiving 500k+ a year, and signs on the dotted line, do you think he doesn’t know that his play on the field will be discussed publicly????

Brandon the person = private
Brandon the player = public

If any of Brandon’s family are hurt by comments regarding him on the field, then get fair dinkum and suck it up

Side note - I’ve seen you say some interesting things regarding other players .. you clearly haven’t sat with their mums at games

Lastly - his mum should be proud .. 250 games , 2x premiership player

Great job and career and kudos

This was an absolute disgrace. Pick 39 for a first round picks in his prime on a massive deal.

Yet we got what pick 20 off for Vickery. Absolute circus the free agency compo. Keen to put the heat on them so we don't get shafted with Baker. Anything less than pick 20 is a disgrace.

Baker won’t be compo. A team will have to trade with us to get him.

Jack Graham will be compo.

Which should be pick 20.
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

4 year deal $500+ is apparently worth a second rounder

Then there's supposedly other factors including where a deal fits in the new clubs cap, bigger the deal the better the compo

Just my opinion here but there shouldn't be any compo picks. The trade off should be clubs can trade players to wherever they like and contracted player doesn't need to agree. In most other sports around the globe that's how FA works. In the AFL model the players have all the control and IMHO that's not right, not a fair balance

Maybe. But until then, I want a second rounder.
