Confirmed Trades - 2024

[Go_Dogs]

Band one compensation for Josh Battle. The Saints have done well.

The AFEL need to seriously rethink this approach. It was meant for marquee players so clubs got something decent back in return. That is absolutely not who Battle is or Ben McKay for that matter. If they want to reframe it to a “help shit clubs” compensation then cool - maybe if you finished in the top 4 you don’t get comp, if you finished in the bottom 4 you can get band one, and everyone else just sucks it up with a band system that is based on transparency. Eg weighted 25% contract ($ and years) 25% last 3 years B&F results 25% career games played and 25% competition equality.

It should never be first round compo. Put it at the end at most if at all.

Why should all the other clubs pay for the movement of a player from other clubs? It's the dumbest system but I suppose you can't expect anything else from this league.

The draft is so compromised these days it's beyond ridiculous.

Band 1 also for Perryman. GWS get Pick 16

So the Geelong pick is already at 17. Now there's at least 3 possibly 4 academy/father son bids. So it'll become 21 and possibly worse. So Geelong will basically be offering us a second round pick for Smith.

They dangled him to see if they could get that type of compensation

But - the academies and father sons are the issues in need of an overhaul - not the trading for Hanneberry, Jones, Howard etc

It's a great result for the saints because imagine what they would've gotten for him in a trade? Hawks have Barrass to deal for. Would have been way worse than pick 8.

[DOG GOD]

Why would Carl want Haynes ?

[EasternWest]

Picture doing him absolutely 0 favours

Old stone hands Soupy.

[The Underdog]

Why would Carl want Haynes ?

The need someone to replace Jack Martin on the injured list.
