Demons ask for priority pick - any other woofers outraged?

Well done to them, I don't think they deserve it and it should have been a mid first round pick

That's not an option.

They've done well out of that, but I think with the request for a PP they always had one eye on ensuring they would get the maximum compensation with Frawley.

Would be interested to see it confirmed, but assume it must be a 4 x $600k contract, as I don't think 4 x $500k would have quite measured up to band one.

They'll feel ripped off. They should have been given tom scully back as compensation.

I think that's about it. It puts it in the same sort of ballpark as the Dale Thomas deal which also got a first round pick.

Daisy's deal was reported as being around $700k-$750k for 4 years, a bit higher than what Frawley has supposedly signed for. Apparently Frawley's was right on the cusp of band 1/band 2 compensation. IMO with the priority pick knocked back they were always going to be a little generous to the Dees with the Frawley compo.

The system doesn't work! Hawthorn got pick 19 (I think) for Buddy Franklin and Melbourne get pick 3 for Frawley. Frawley was a great player 3 years ago and has only been ok since. So other struggling clubs have to foot the bill for players not wanting to stay there.
No picks should be given in the first round. Maybe give 2 picks in the 2nd round if it suits.
Totally unfair. I can see us missing out by 1 pick on a tall forward now.

Not to mention the unjust Ward compo.

Bolded part shows it is working. Good teams losing players arent compensated as heavily as they are getting more players due to being at the top.

Heard a wide range for Daisy, going from 2.5m over 4 years($625k) up to 3m ($750k/yr). No idea where in that range it is or if it's close to the minimum needed for band 1. Interesting thing to note is that so far there have been no Band 2's or Band 4's awarded in Free Agency.

Melbourne are a basket case of a club and now they will receive another high pick so they can select a quality kid to turn into a prize spud.

Re: Demons ask for priority pick - any other woofers outraged?

That's not an option.

According to Kevin Sheehan who is on the committee it was an option

Re: Demons ask for priority pick - any other woofers outraged?

That club is just in a permanent state of relying on charity hand outs. With their record of ruining young talent all that giving them yet another really early pick does is ensures the talent is spread thinner across the league.

Makes no sense then why Hawthorn didn't get that for Buddy or why it's not listed as an option on the AFL site's official free agency guide.

It is the same compensation though - immediately after the first round pick. Melbourne's is earlier as they are utterly shite.

Hawthorn received the top compensation for Buddy,ie 1st round pick straight after their first round ie after 18..
