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.

Re: Pick 7
Yep, take the compo away.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Pick 7
What about when Dahlhaus and Roughead sign elsewhere and the compo helps us get West and Khamis?

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.

Re: Pick 7
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

Re: Pick 7
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.

Re: Pick 7
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.
