Band 1 compensation

[1971]

Just preparing for any Battle meltdown

[cwrcyn]

I'm expecting us to get reamed, which is par for the course when it comes to the rubbery rules the AFL constantly change.

Clubs have been handed father/son players on a golden pillow, while others have given up nothing for academy players

North Melbourne are handed pick 3 in for a B Grade lady defender, while we will likely get pick 20 for a more competent player.

Funny how they always change the rules/formula just before we're about to benefit

Saints have secured Band 1 compo for Battle!

[SaintWiki]

Bonnor to Port and Campbel to Melbourne

[ace]

St Kilda presently has pick 7 & 8 but those will certainly slip as Brisbane will queue jump to take father/son Ashcroft.

[SaintJohno]

Can't believe we got that. So stoked. So unusual for us to not get bent over.

[B.M]

Looks like we got it!

It’s being reported, albeit by Flog Morris!

[cps]

Also by The Age.

Well done by the pres for his preemptive swipe at the AFL this week. It appears to have hit the mark

Why

Apparently we were always going to get...speculation we were not was driven by media

[Brunswicksainter]

I don’t really understand the outrage accross social media about this. Battle’s worth on an open market is probably around a mid first round pick. This is probably only slightly more than what he’d be worth if we traded him. Some how we have robbed the comp though.

[magnifisaint]

That's worked out better for St Kilda than if he stayed. Get 2 rooly good players. Don't f*** it up like you did with Clark and Coffield!

[Saints58]

great news well done Pres no more making up numbers lets keep being assertive with AFL it works.

Media brainwashed the fools into thinking it would be after round 1

[B.M]

Would you consider splitting the picks

Pick 8 for 15 & 20

Giving us picks
7, 15, 20, 25

Maybe but I'm not sure how good these guys are.

[The_Dud]

Great result. Only way the whole situation could be saved.

Now please please please don’t stuff this lay-up in the draft, we need mids!!

You really think it changed the decision...REALLY

If influenced by pres speech they are incompetent and be sacked

Remind them North got pick 3 for McKay

I don't think part of the compo calculation relates to 'has the president had a public sook'

[Otiman]

You forget how much the AFL is a PR and perception management business now.

The decision effectively neutralises what we said, on everything including the academies.

[wally]

I would only split it if we needed a lower pick for someone we are looking to trade in.
