Infractions and thread bans have been handed out.

Keep it civil and on topic, or keep it to yourself.

Thanks.

Band 1 compo easily

No chance
We're getting him as a bargain purchase. Ken Bruce has gone completely mad style.

The talk is $950k a year and the Hawks can manipulate it to get St kilda a Band 1
Battle would have made sure the hawks agreed to look after his old club

Loyalty goes along way

Buddy Franklin says otherwise!

Buddy Franklin says otherwise!

Why ?

Buddy got Hawks the best possible compo available
The Hawks had to match to get a better trade but didnt have the cap space

thats hardly buddy's fault

It wasn't the best possible compo. There is a clause for extraordinary contracts which allowed for extra compo, which $10m over 9 years obviously was.

That " extraordinary contracts which allowed for extra compo," only applies to Geelong and Ablett

Which rule is that?

Ablett was the expansion system which was different

Compo will be fascinating. Pick 8 and we will be rapt. Pick 20 and we'll be devo.

Just glad Battle went to that meeting

 

[Libbaaaa]

Putting aside what compo the Saints are going to get, Battle will still be on $850k or so a year and he’s probably not in the top 100 players in the AFL.

 

[buttox]

No one should ever get top 10 picks for spud defenders.







From this year onwards!

At Hawthorn he will be well inside the top 100. Because Hawthorn.

We have plenty of cap space so I imagine we will front load a fair portion.
If it is 850K per year, then dont be surprised if Josh is on the $$million$$ list next year or 2
Last 2 or 3 year could then be as low as 700K which is more than manageable on $18.44 million TPP in 2027

James Sicily is going to love life in 2025

Battle & Barrass

The amount of intercept marks he will take, will be insane. Plus we can push him forward.

Haha, you're such a classic faux ITK big footy poster. Keep pumping your tyres though mate.

 

[THE_GUN]

Personally i think the Band 1 compo should be for players that are on 5+ year contracts that are over $1 million
Richmond will most likely be in this same position next year with Noah Balta

which will attract massive offers around
7 years $10 mil and Richmond will have a hard decision to make to match or let go

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

I miss the guy who was betting $50 for the result

What a get for the Hawks

Teams won’t score >60 next season

(I am aware it will happen)

I took the bet... can't wait for my $50

Nothing faux about it

But You wouldn’t have a clue

Battle is a hawk

 

[Mich0]

Didn’t Morris say he will be earning less than he did at St Kilda?

Anyone could've said that from about halfway through the season.
