Eagles got end of first compensation pick last year for being so bad for four seasons. We are now in the same realm as they were.

Reckon picks 19 and  20 ??  could be on the cards.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

If we bid on either Cochrane or Walker and they go top 5 we will get an end of first round pick as compensation

[Andyy]

Great so we should apply for an additional pick because we suck, then bid on one of those blokes and get another.

So take pick 1-3 depending on where we finish then have 19+20+21 or so too

[the claw]

sounds good to me.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

That’s not how it works Andyyy, you know that.

[Andyy]

How do HRT?

Will a bid compensation cancel out a priority selection?

[Hard Roar Tiger]

The “system” will not allow 2 compensation picks

[Francois Jackson]

we could but they wouldn't give it to us.

anyway lets see how much balls we have. I want us to bid on an academy player and collect compo and then fk one of port or tigers up by doubling down for no real gain at all to us, but inflict a loss to them.

We don’t deserve additional support. We have made our bed, now is not the time to lie in it with crooked legs.

Teixeira bog yesterday got vic metro.

HVH seems to be carrying a knock.

Wonder if Gus is closing on pick 1 ahead of HVH and Butler.

[ajGreen]

Assuming the druggies don't beat port at the end. I can't see them winning another game.

I've been warming to Teixeira for a while. Feels to have the tools we need assuming butters doesn't happen.

Maybe more fun than butler as well.

Two seems to be a good spot getting the left over of HVH and Teixeira.

Interesting to see how Clancy Snell finishes the season. Sounds a top 5 lock now.

[NickSimo]

Teixeira is certainly my pick and exactly what we need.

[Andyy]

@HRT one would be a priority pick, one would be bid compo.

They don't cancel each other out, surely

Booooo  spoil sport.
