[Loui Tufga]

who said we don't get compensation?

He is a free agent, its not a trade.

We still get compo for him regardless!

[Judge Roughneck]

The Matthew White highlights package on the port web site is enough to make any tiger fan cry.

Must be creaming themselves over there.

meh. average 12 touches per game.

not best 18.

[WilliamPowell]

We will get compensation for White. It's only delisted free agents that you won't get a component pick for. At the end of the trade period the AFL will determine what pick we get.

Thanks for clearing that up

I thought it was all Unrestricted Free Agents

But if we were to sign a FA we'd get nothing though?

It depends, sort of a 'balancing act' the AFL try to perform.

They look at what you lose and what you gain. Depends I think on the value and length of contracts the players sign and they figure it out with a 'special formula' which they keep up Andy D's clacker.

Port Adelaide move quickly to secure speedster White

PORT Adelaide has secured former Richmond speedster Matt White on a three-year deal on the opening day of the Gillette AFL Trade and Free Agency Period.

Power coach Ken Hinkley flagged his desire to lure the 26-year-old to Alberton earlier in the week and the fifth pick at the 2006 NAB AFL Pre-season Draft wasted no time in signing with the club.

White played 105 games for the Tigers, including 16 games this year, but was often forced to start as the side's substitute for the 2013 season.

He fielded offers from several rival clubs, but White said he chose to join the Power for the opportunity of a starting 22 position.

“It’s a massive opportunity to come to a great club in Port Adelaide, and I’m really looking forward to what the next few years can bring the club and me personally,” White told Port Adelaide's website.

“It’s a massive thing for me to come over to SA and into a group that’s played in two finals this year.

“I know Ken runs a pretty tight ship and I’m really excited about the challenge of trying to slot into the 22 each week and hopefully be playing finals come the end of next year.

“Ken and Alan Richardson have outlined some key roles for me to play throughout the year, but I’m just looking forward to getting out there and playing on some quality opponents, as well as hopefully winning a lot of games.”

As well as the obvious need from a football perspective, Hinkley has previously spoken about the importance of bringing the "right" sort of characters into the club.

He said White ticked both boxes.

“Matt has got great character and is a fantastic person – he’s exactly the type of player we want to be getting to our football club,” Hinkley said.

“Attracting the right type of people to our club is so important.

“But he also satisfies our list needs and we believe he can play a couple of roles for us over the next three years.

“Getting some outside run to the club was a priority going into this trade period and it is a tremendous result that we’ve been able to secure a player of Matt’s quality so early in this period.”

Richmond advises that Matthew White, as an unrestricted free agent, has informed the Club of his decision to sign with Port Adelaide.
 
White, 26, played 105 games and kicked 54 goals in an eight-year career with the Tigers.
 
His efforts in the 2013 season were acknowledged at the Jack Dyer Medal night this week, when he received the Club’s most improved player award.
 
“On behalf of the Club, I would like to thank Matty for his valuable contributions, and the fine service he has provided us with over the past eight years,” said Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson.

There you go then, pity we cant get compensation for him....

Maybe we should of looked at a trade last year....we didn't did we??

Compensation is largely based on recent form.  Maybe that's why he was named Most Improved?

Just sayin'.
