GC compo backflip.

Re: GC compo backflip.

Is part of the reason we are playing him midfield to improve his value? We can then argue he has been a very rebounding back pocket as well as midfielder in recent times.

We played him midfield last week because dumb WestCoast thought they would play the land of the giants against us and outstretch us, so leaving Harbrow without a match up.

Who should have been playing the 'crumbing' role?

Re: GC compo backflip.

I would think the sole reason would be to develop him as a player such that he will help us win more games.

Our midfield is a bit on the slow side so the injection of Harbrow certainly adds to our pace.

Yes I know, Im just trying to dig deeper......... you know, develop him as a player that will benefit us in every single way for today and tomorrow if you know what I mean.

Compensation revealed for Nathan Bock, Nathan Krakouer

THE Crows will appeal the AFL's proposed compensation for losing Nathan Bock to the Gold Coast, saying it is "grossly inadequate".
The AFL announced this afternoon the compensation Adelaide and Port Adelaide will receive for losing players to the Gold Coast Suns.

The Suns announced earlier this week they had signed Nathan Bock and Nathan Krakouer.

The league announced today that Adelaide would get a selection at the end of the first round, while Port Adelaide would receive one after its second round pick.

Adelaide said that was it was “grossly inadequate”.

Crows football operations general manager Phil Harper said the club was disappointed with the AFL’s decision.


“We believe that if Nathan was available on the open market he would certainly attract much more than a first round draft pick from another club,” Harper said.

“He was an All-Australian two years ago when he also won our club champion award , is only 27 and if he was still on our list right now he would be rated right near the top. We believe that compensation for a player of Nathan’s ilk would a minimum of band two, which equates to the same in 2010 and 2011 but would be after our first round pick in any of the next three drafts.

“Because of all this, the club owes it to our members and supporters to strongly appeal this decision to the AFL.”

Both clubs can elect to use that pick in any of the drafts from this year until 2014.

Clubs can trade that pick to another club.

The AFL said the lodgement of the respective contract offers to players Bock and Krakouer by the Gold Coast FC meant the club could not automatically select another uncontracted player from either of those two clubs, but can sign delisted players from them or organise separate trades.

Looks like we may only end up with one first round pick for Harbrow.
