Sam Grlj made an impressive VFL debut with Richmond in last Saturday’s clash with Gold Coast at People First Stadium.

The talented teenage midfielder from Oakleigh Chargers in the Coates Talent League finished the match with 18 disposals, six marks and five tackles.

He adapted seamlessly to the significant step up to the level and looks a likely prospect at this year’s AFL national draft.

Richmond’s VFL coach Jake Batchelor liked what he saw from Grlj against the Suns.

“His leadership, his exuberance and his excitement to be part of our program, and to be himself, was outstanding,” Batchelor told Richmond Media in a post-match interview.

“And we saw on the track out there today he’s got speed, he’s got ‘smarts’, he’s got sidesteps and agility.

“He’s going to be a heck of a player.

“Really pleased (with him) and hopefully we can get him for the next couple of weeks as well because he definitely showed he can match it against some really good players.”

Surely just because people are assuming Eagles get pick 2 for Oscar Allan doesn't mean it will actually happen. 
Surely his contract will not trigger band one compensation.  Seems ridiculous

I don’t remember a time where a reported compo band has proven to be wrong.

It’s pretty simple, if the contract doesn’t trigger band 1 compo (i.e pick 2), the eagles would just match and force the trade which isn’t in the lions favour.

Allen will be band 1 because teams will pay a truck load for any half decent key forward and WCE won't go ahead with it unless it's worth their while

[Francois Jackson]

And if they don't the  AFL will ensure it's band 1. I suspect he won't be the only eagle leaving.

Is that Sam Draper a FA? Bombers wiill probably get a "band 1" as well

Agree re: AFL

And yes re: Draper. Dons fans are expecting band 1 compo, hence we need to ensure they finish above us and Norf.

You are all forgetting one factor
The eagles are keen to sign Starcevich

If that happens it affects the free agency compo

They can trade. No chance in the world they would do anything to jeopardize that pick 2 that they are surely about to receive

Yeah they won't do it. Trade or nothing.
