2025 AFL Draft

[WilliamPowell]

Hmm if LDU leaves North can't get a compo after their first round pick as they don't have one. Be fascinating how that would pan out.

The compo is tied to their ladder position. Regardless of whether they have traded their pick or not the position of the compo will be based on the pick they had prior to trading.

Just another example of the farcical  compo system.

Should be binned and to make it a proper and fair FA system give Clubs the right to trade players to whichever club they choose.. players have too much of the control.. the compo system IMHO is there to appease the Club's but it fails because no one but the AFL knows how the calculate the compo

My understanding is that there's a formula as a guide but the AFL literally has a discretionary criteria, so they basically use their formula and then decide if the compo is appropriate or change it, probably for equalisation.

Are there any prominent sports leagues other than the American ones whereby players can be traded to other teams/cities/states without prior agreement?

Soccer players get moved all the tine during their trade window's don't they

The AFLPA wanted the AFL FA model based on US sports just without the ability for clubs to trade players for the best available deal or without a players request

[Tiger Khosh]

Soccer players can most definitely not be sold to a club if they do not permit to it. If you think footy players have too much power then you will be gobsmacked with how players hold clubs to ransom in soccer.

[TigerLand]

Yeah soccer is insane player power. Players refuse to play unless they are traded.

I actually have non-issue with current system but I'd get rid of compo. Clubs have had an entire generation of FA to know the importance of signing up players before they come out of contract.

[ajGreen]

I can't think of many big name association football player refusing to play.

They fake injury sometimes if they don't get a move they want.

They don't want to play for the national team sometimes like Ben white but a bit different

[Tiger Khosh]

Are you talking about European soccer, because if so it happens allllll the time.

To be fair clubs are known to freeze players out as well to force them to seek a transfer elsewhere.

Which player? Perhaps I'm just having a brain freeze.

I recall Winston Bogarde doing the opposite

[Tiger Khosh]

There have been so so many where a player didn’t train or go on preseason tour to try and force their way out. I don’t even know where to start. Few examples off the top of my head:

- Harry Kane when trying to join man city.

- Berbatov when moving from spurs to United.

- Coutinho when moving from Liverpool to Barca.

And there are countless countless more.

Like I said it works the other way too. Just this past off-season, Chelsea froze out what seemed to be half their squad to try and push them to leave lol

[ajGreen]

Not training or arriving late is a bit different from refusing to play the games.

Tbf to the clubs they don't have to give the players guarantee of games after buying them.

Berbatov is going back a bit too

[tdy]

I don't mind the AFL making it up to help crap clubs. I remember the dark old days of st Kilda forever wooden spooners and winning one game all year in the mud when plugger would kick 7. It was poo to watch and predictable as hell and must have shat st Kilda supporters off like nothing else. I much rather a biased draft to even it up.
