Not that anyone cares after the Scully donation but doesn't Melbourne get dudded here. Arguably have the two better players and they combined aren't worth either one of Pearce or Chaplin individually. Obviously Byrnes lessens this somewhat but only marginally.

Re: National Draft Order

What a load crap Free agency has turned out to be.
You have to get free agents otherwise you are penalized.
How do you justify all clubs go down in the draft order when you were not part of the deal?
You get a free agent eg Essendon, all you pay is you lose us a place in the draft order after your first pick.

I know you'd prefer not to have free agency at all, but now that its here would you prefer the compo picks scrapped?

I think a few of the clubs do want the compo picks scrapped - eg Geelong

Re: National Draft Order

Yeah that would be great, the poor teams not performing well get their players picked off.
I think the Compo is a little all over the shop to be honest.
Not massive on F/A, just don't reckon we needed it.

I'm not sure it's a load of crap but it certainly hasn't been well thought out by the AFL.

I agree that other clubs not involved shouldn't be disadvantaged because if it.

Should there even be any compensation for a club losing a player to FA?

They won't be happy until there is no FA restrictions and no salary cap.

Re: National Draft Order

The compensation for Clinton Young seems a bit wrong. Then again, I can only wish Hawthorn FC all the worst ^_^.

Players have their own self-interest at heart rather than the good of the game.

Like nearly everyone else involved in the AFL

You cannot blame them though.

I think FA should stay, but no compo pick. I think next year the compo pick won't be around.

You can when they start wanting more than we can afford, which won't be far away.

The players are getting too greedy and it will be to the detriment of our club and an even competition.

Like 99.9% of the business world

Happy for FA to give players flexibility in their careers but like others don't agree that non-active clubs get punished at the draft table becasue of it.

Though, AFL is supposed to be a sport isn't it?

Re: National Draft Order

Yes there should be compensation for losing a player but there should also be a larger penalty to club who gets the free agent.
Get rid of free agency and all will be fixed. Players as a group have too much say.

The problem with the bolded bit is that if a club loses a FA but gains another it cancels out. Should the clubs gaining a free agent lose draft picks? It would effectively make the FA transaction a defacto trade.

It all seemed to sound so good in theory...
