Per my first post, IMO the alternative is No Compensation. Can't agree with your last part, as I think 'most reasonable' people would see that Pick 1 as being an appropriate compensation for losing arguably one of the best players in the comp. I do agree it would open just as many cans of worms...

I don't want to argue too hard on this, as it is what it is, but where a club finishes on the ladder shouldn't really come into what compensation a club gets for their player/s. If for example Hawks finished last the year Buddy left, they would have received Pick 2. Compare that to Pick 3 for...

Really, so Frawley is worth 16 Picks higher than Franklin? C'Mon, I think anyone can see that this compensation structure is simply out of whack. I'm all for helping out the struggling clubs, but do it in some other fashion (Draft Picks etc). Mayne is an average player when compared to...

Agreed; Franklin - Pick 19 Frawley - Pick 3 Mayne - Pick 23 I think this illustrates the inequality of the AFL's compensation formula well enough. Get rid of the compensation all together.

Pears is stated as 191cm, so just another Grant Birchall/Josh Gibson type, or can he actually play tall? Hooker on the other hand is 196cm, so seems size wise at least, a better fit for what we are after. What cost would Hooker come at Bomber fans? At least he wouldn't have to chase Buddy...

Re: GWS Mini draft #1 -> Gold Coast How did Gold Coast obtain the Gary Ablett Compensation Pick?

Me too LP. Schoey was bad enough, but now Lewis!! The gear, must be good stuff.

Drew, I don't think anyone of us Hawks have stated that Lisle is worth a first rounder. It's just staggering that people rate this Gunston bloke as pick 15 - 20, but Lisle pick 30 plus, that's all. If Lisle is worth Pick 30+, then Pick 24 should simply get this deal done. As the other...

Oh C'mon. I know there has been a lot of hype about this kid, but 1st and 2nd picks, plus Ellis. Give me a break. Ellis and 2nd Rounder maybe, perhaps unders. Ellis and 1st Rounder is overs. Ellis + Pick 24 + 3rd Round, for Gunston + Adelaide's 2nd Round perhaps? BTW, I'm not saying I...

I think if you re-read my post, what I said was Lisle has shown as much as Gunston so far. Adelaide fans are asking for pick 15 - 20, so on their logic Lisle is also worth pick 15 - 20. Don't think I agreed or stated that either player is worth a first round pick. But let's get nasty and call...

You can't seriously think that picks 18 and 54 are worth Pick 24 plus Lisle, surely? Basically you are saying Lisle is worth pick 54, C'mon.... Lisle has shown as much as Gunston. He may not have this "Potential Superstar" that Gunston seems to have achieved over the past week or two, but if...

Mitch Clark is gunna cost you more than your first rounder plus a fringe player. Just ask the Adelaide supporters who think Gunston is worthy of more than this!

Hey Teffy, I think you stopped your 'Bolding' too early mate. "His management is hopeful of working with Adelaide to ensure it gets maximum compensation in a trade and he finds his preferred club." The way I read this is his management will work to get the best deal for Adelaide from his...

Yep, pick 38 was Mitch Hallahan. Inside mid. Haven't seen much of him yet but is touted as a replacement for our inside players over the next few years. Pick 66 - Paul Puopolo. Would have been a massive blunder given the Dogs were into Puopolo also! I doubt the Hawks will show much...

Curious as to what type of quality player you would expect in return for pick 37 if we did send it your way? Give me some examples please Doggies fans.

So what you are saying is, Gibson is twice as valuable as Williams. Nah, I don't think so. You may get one of those second rounders along with a 4th rounder.

I don't think Nicnat will have too many problems with Cox, will he:D For the Hawks, I can't see any of our draftees from last year debuting round 1, but most Hawks are hoping to see Thorp and Muston make an impact in 09.
