Harbrow Compensation - Ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Harbrow Compensation - Ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!

8 votes in the Brownlow last night and in contention for AA, his credentials stack up.

May have been different if he had made an all australian team but he didn't, a first round pick is what in the end should have been given and what we received. I don't like it but what can you do!

Re: Harbrow Compensation - Ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if he felt a hint of guilt after hearing of our compensation?

Doubt it.

Re: Harbrow Compensation - Ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine trading a guy like Harbrow with another club? You'd get a lot more in return that's for sure!

Re: Harbrow Compensation - Ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!

How does the AFL justify this, though? Who are they accountable to? Obviously nobody.

It's ridiculous to think we lose Harbrow (aged 23) for a half assed late first round pick. It's pathetic. If Harbrow played for one of the AFL's love childs, I'd bet on them compensating them better.

Re: Harbrow Compensation - Ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!

A 23 year old, on the cusp of AA selection, who polled 8 Brownlow votes and will finish top 10 in our B&F is only worth a pick in the mid 20s?

Get ****ing serious, AFL.

Surely there is an appeals process?

Sorry but your thought process is warped if you truly believe that. Find the last time a 22/23 y.o running half back who got 8 brownlow votes and was on the verge of AA selection was traded and see if they only got a late first round pick.

We got more for Jordie FFS.

Re: Harbrow Compensation - Ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!

****en hell, he would be worth a top 10 pick in a true market. Surely the club will appeal?

Re: Harbrow Compensation - Ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!

The same comp as Campbell Brown. Actually if we both use it this year, less compo than Brown. Imagine if we did a straight out trade with Brown and Harbrow, I'd be opening up a 'let's burn the club to the ground' thread.

That was my next train of thought.

I hope we don't lie down and take it. Utter bullshit.

Re: Harbrow Compensation - Ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought we'd be a good chance to have him classed tier 2 given his age.

Me too, hopefully we appeal(not that that will make much of a difference, Adelaide's appeal didn't change anything).

On the the verge of AA selection isn't a tangible thing, who's to say who was close to making the 40 man squad outside of the selectors? From the AFL's point of view you either make the squad or you don't.

Putting it like that, that is shocking. The system is a crock. Appeal a must if possible.

Re: Harbrow Compensation - Ripped off!!!!!!!!!!!

Its based on salary, and the rumours I read were $500K.

Less than Brown and Bock, but he is younger.

On the open Market, we could have easily demanded something in the 8-15 range you would think.


So the pick will be from 26, if no other club bids, up to 30 or so I guess.

If we wait until GWS has gone, it will be from pick 19 and up, depending on how many other 'end of 1st round picks' get exercised in the 2012 draft.


I like the idea of using the pick this year, and attempting to upgrade the pick to 15-20 range by trading.

Brown on plus $500K?

What the **** is Clayton thinking?

Who would you trade with this pick to get a first round pick?
