Free agency without cost to the team getting the FA is the farce. It’s allowed the top 4 clubs to get AA players at absolutely no cost. It’s not the compensation that’s broken, it’s the cost.
We could lose Cripps in a couple of years to a top 4 side.
It’s completely broken. The cap was expected to be the limiter but they overlooked that the top clubs are selling premiership glory and so aren’t paying market rates.Hawks have rorted it for all its worth. And the lower teams have all been raped,.
WE did it when we were fab.
The circle will turn.
Maybe the FA needs to be reviewed so there is a cost to the gaining team as you said above..
How about the player has points allocated to him like F/S and academy draftees and if (Hawks) want (Cripps) in two years, they have to pay Carlton the going rate of 45000 points which would equate to them giving Carlton their first three picks in the 2020 draft.
That would slow them down a bit.
The current situation is never going to equalise anything as you said.You have no idea how big our "war chest" is for the next 2 years.
I have an idea from what Ive been told and how they have achieved this flexibility.
If you believe money talks...well it will, and we will not lose players we want to keep.
SOS is talking to everyone's manager. No stone unturned.
I don't like losing, especially by 100 points, but hey, look at the injury toll.
I believe in the plan. I love the plan moving forward, and am going to love what happens in the next 2 years if the club stays the course.
I was referring to the FA scenario as it stands, not the rebuild, mate.
I think you misunderstood.
