Josh Battle compo = band 1 (pick 8)
Harry Perryman compo = band 1 (pick 16)

This pushes picks we're trading for back down the draft order.

System is flawed when Josh Battle is considered a top 10 player. Surely more than just length of contract and how much money they get has to be considered.

Idea…
West Coast offers Jack Graham 5yrs @ 900k a year. Lands Richmond a first-round compo at pick 2.

Eagles walk Liam Baker to the pre-season draft. Don’t cough up a draft pick.

Tigers get pick 2. Eagles get Baker for nothing and only costs a bit extra $

Win-win for both

Surely that’s more than “a bit of extra $$$$” lol

You just know those knobheads at HQ would decide to intervene for the first time ever to prevent this from happening.

This pushes picks we're trading for back down the draft order.

Greater Western Sydney will receive a band two pick for free agent Isaac Cumming. That's end of first round.

That's pick 21 for the Giants, giving them pick 15, 16 and 21 in the first round.

Compensation needs to be removed. Don’t care about the argument, the hawks losing Franklin set the precedence.

Pick 8 for battle is ridiculous.

If teams can’t hold onto their players then trade them earlier. Poor player and contract management is rewarded with compensation

I agree, the club where the player goes too should pay some sort of compensation , it just advantages the same clubs yearly and is an unfair system!

How much stuffing money are those idiots getting paid to be worth band 1? Lol

They way all these picks are going we will be lucky to get a pick in the 30’s, typical Richmond bashing

Have said it many times there should be no compo, ridiculous that there is

But the offset should be Clubs should be free to trade players to wherever they like without players agreeing

The current system favours the players only
