Vickery agrees to terms with Hawks / We get pick 26 as compo [update]

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Absolute joke if true! Just stuff him off, I dont care what we get, he's worth jack poo to us and anything we get is a bonus.


The formula is apparently largely to do with what percentage of afl players the contract $$$ will fall into

for example - if its in the top 10% of paid players then that = 1st rounder (top 5% early 1st rounder)
top 20-25% early 2nd rounder
top 35-40% late 2nd rounder etc etc

Plus you add the special afl commission sauce and walla Bobs your uncle. Seriously, no-one can be sure, they seem to change the goalposts whenever it suits their agenda

BTW have it on good authority Ty has been on between $400-450k

Haha classic TM!

Yeah there's a number of things they also use to weigh it up. Top 10 BnF finishes, initial draft pick # & the contract size (I think?) they sign also affect the comp pick.

Personally, I'd rather him stay on than receive a third rounder. I know I'm in a minority of people with that view.

Whats wrong with saying we'll play hard ball if we don't like the compo. Sounds like good policy to me.

LMAO at this stuffn club bidding on their own.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

If we are only going to get a third rounder for him, I can see why the club would want more. He was a number 8 pick. We've invested a lot of time and gifted games to him.  It is a little insulting getting that compensation. As long as we trade him, I don't care. Maybe North or West Coast may want him or Hawthorn may give up a player to get him. However, we shouldn't give him away for nothing too. Hopefully we can get reasonable compensation for him.

No doubt West Coast fans would welcome Vickery with open arms....

Well done . You picked up my little joke!

Freo fans would ... Ross is a huge fan

[Francois Jackson]

Have no issue with this. I would prefer we get rid of the bigger spud in Griffiths than someone who can actually kick goals.

31 goals last year v Griffiths output. New coach after Rd 12 who actually has a clue and he might turn the corner.

Because the Hawks will most likely walk away. They want him for nothing. O'Meara is their priorty now not Tyrone. So we match, the Hawks walk and we are stuck with him. .that isn't smart


I can't believe we'd be so stupid...














Oh wait...yes I can

Quicker Monday rolls around the better

Second time I have heard a comment on Monday?
Is that because of Balme? or something else I maybe missing?

No point throwing stuff away for free when there is value in it still.  TV despite all the crap we have piled on him, does have some value.
