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

What happened to the pick being based on how much potential a player has? The AFL have done a backflip on that.

Yep, a 23 year old on a steep curve of improvement worth the same as an undersized hard man wannabe who has been protected in defence by team structure. Absolute bullshit!

Very ordinary, unfortunately Harbrows on paper credentials don't represent how good he is and can be.

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

Rubbish, but we expected it to be the same as Brown.

Really poor system IMO.

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

Joke, nothing short of a joke.

Should have been 1st round after our own pick.

And that is it right there.

We were never going to get much more than this although I hoped he would. The system was put in place so that Geelong would not get ripped off with Ablett. The rest of the clubs have just "Band 3" players. which virtually is a 2nd Round pick in the next draft.

May as well hold onto the pick and use it after GWS comes in.

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

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

Any idea what pick this is going to be specifically, by end of first round do they mean the picks suceeding Bock & Browns?

The exact location of the pick will depend if Bris/Ade/Haw/Others decide to use their picks this season or not.
Currently, if no other teams nominate this year, the pick would be #27. If all three of the others so far use their pick this year too, (assuming we do), then it would be #30.

When mutliple teams nominate the same year to use their picks, the team that finished lowest on the ladder will get first pick.

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

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

So, now where to from here. Can we contest the compensation and is there a chance to get a better pick?
