It doesn't work like that. Ablett wasn't a free agent he was an uncontracted player signing to a new club. Hawthorn's compensation if Franklin leaves would be so far under his worth. He was a top five pick originally and has since gone on to become a champion player.
It's a cruel, cruel injury the ACL. It's something the AFL should be doing serious research on. I hope that his second reconstruction goes better than Morabito's did.
