Richmond receives no compo for losing Matthew White [updated]

[torch]

just makes us giving away our pick for hampster even worse. In reality White and McGuane werent worth anything. Deep down we all knew that anyway.

Yes but White is worth something.

We have shot ourselves!

[Coach]

This is brilliant reading. is it too late to package Edwards & Grigg for Ablett.

It is great reading indeed!

It's absolute stuffing rubbish!!!!

[dwaino]

Compo should be scrapped altogether IMO. Not fair everyone else shuffles along at least a spot because a player wants to play in different colours.

Feel a bit ripped that we didn't even get a token pick for White though when everyone else got something.

[Andyy]

I thought a third rounder would have been fair.

Scrap this compo IMO. Anybody leaving under FA has been there long enough to give good service anyway.

Absolutely agree

How the work out who gets what is baffling to say the least, coupled with the fact that they just plonk the pick where a clubs sits in the draft is laughable to.

And BTW I wouldn't think Compared to what White was probably on at the RFc that his deal at Port is "peanuts"

The only peanuts in this discussion are the brain sizes of the those at HQS making these bizarre decisions

White has always been an average player. Most of us have wanted him to be delisted every year for the last 5 or 6 years at least. He wasnt worth anything and thats what we got. Nuffin!

Fair enough ramps but the entire compo system is a joke.

C'wood gets a better pick for Thomas than the hawks do for Franklin because the pies finished lower is a joke. That Melb got 2 compo picks for Scully granted under a different rule makes it even more laughable

If the comp wants true FA (warts and all) then the compo system goes and clubs all of them suffer the pain of what Free Agency in other sports is like

[TigerMonk]

This is Peggy's 1st blunder as being President if she lets the AFL rob us of a compo pick when other clubs are getting compo picks for lost players. Free Agency will be scraped after this year cause its robbing clubs.  Richmond always get raped

[Owl]

Oh they knew what they were doing alright.  Keeping us down, helping the cheating clubs like Melbourne and Carltank up, and of course their darlings the Magpies.

has sweet stuff all to do with the Prez my friend. if anything Benny g would have read the riot act on hearing the news...we have bigger fish to fry and aint going to lose our poo over this. my mail is the league considers us that much of an emerging threat that any further assistance may be improper. an im inclined to agree

Of course its a joke and its a joke because its a double dip. Example Scully. Melbourne got Scully- they tanked to get him and Trengove. Anyway Scully was going downhill at a rate of knots and certainly not performing as a top 10 should. GWS get stupid and sign Scully on free agency. Melbourne from having a first shot at getting a good player and stuffing up then get compo - 2 picks for Scully. In effect Melbourne have had 3 rolls of the dice. Of course its a joke. Goddard leaves St Kilda, Goddard was a star for St Kilda for many years, he leaves maybe with3  or 4 years left in his Career- St Kilda having used him up for years then St Kilda gets another top pick in the draft for Goddard - in effect the chance to get another quality 10 year player when Goddard would have been out of the system in 3 or so years at St Kilda instead they get another roll of the dice the whole  thing is a farce.

[conspiracy hat]Reckon they used us as guinea pigs to gauge the fan reaction for no compo in the afl as of next season. They know tiger supporters are an emotional bunch, so if there is going to be a fan revolt it would be us, and even if they poo on us we are loyal so no damage[/conspiracy hat]

[Gigantor]

Richmond went hard and early and got the man they wanted.As for compo picks ,gotta a gut feeling Tiges knew they would get twiddly twit
