Key clause in what I said was 'one of the worst teams in the competition' bit. Geelong and Hawthorn could cope pretty easily with the losses of those two players because they were already on top and had a bunch of players who were even better. GWS telling Patton to retire at the age of 20 so that they can get a compensation pick would be ridiculous and unlikely to happen and I don't think a team would ever tell one of their best players to do that if there was a reasonable chance they could get their bodies right, nor would the player ever consent to it. I'm pretty sure the AFL would be able to measure the severity of the injury pretty easily.
Yeah, but Hogan will be playing next year, so we don't need any priority pick or even any draft picks at all. Smell the Premiership coffee.
