Pick 7

[FrediKanoute]

Not only that it stifles free agency at the Gold Coast as they won't want to lose that compo by bringing players in. Saints must be sitting there thinking what did we do to deserve that. I think first round compo should be removed. Either that or it's the first pick of the club receiving the player. So pick 16 from Tigers. To be honest though I think the compo should be removed altogether.

I agree. There shouldn't be compo. It will encourage players to a) match a free agent b) clubs to shop around players the year before their contract expires.

[Twodogs]

Yep, take the compo away.

What about when Dahlhaus and Roughead sign elsewhere and the compo helps us get West and Khamis?

Shhh.

Who cares? It's a rubbish system and should be scrapped regardless of its impact to us in certain years

You do? I’m on the record saying no compo for losing free agents. I was asking others their thoughts.

Not about pick 7 but this assessment of Buku Khamis is worth a read:

Whataboutism usually works the other way so i completely misread your intention. Scrap the thing. Team losing a player gets cap space and an extra spot on the list. They already can only leave after 8 years of service. Will just mean that teams are smarter and trade earlier if necessary

I've been impressed with the games I've seen of him. Seems the new generation of 'hybrid' defender. Might take a bit of time (like Wood) but he can play taller than his height (like Wood) and has an incredible leap (like Wood). Bonus being a local kid.

No but thankyou for sending through the link. A very worthwhile read

Who is your choice with Pick 7. Realistically we are most likely looking at Bailey Smith, Rozee or Ben King.

I watched Rozee play in the SANFL final series and am a big fan. Will be a star and has already been doing it against adults so you would think he won’t be far off ready to go.

I haven’t seen Smith or King in action so I haven’t got a balanced opinion, but I think Rozee would be a perfect fit. Problem is, I don’t think he will be there. GC will take two SA boys (out of Lukosius, Rozee, and Rankine) and Port will mop the leftover one up with 6.

Smith is the one I've like the look of most. Was really impressed with what I saw in that metro v country game on the 'G. Did also play hb last year so has some versatility if he's not midfield ready straight away. This assumes his achilles is fine with a bit of rest.
