Charlie Watts. Does his job and nobody notices him nor gives a shit that he's even there.



Mayne to Pies is done also.
Off topic but I had a drummer mate who's running joke was that if he was ever on a door list for a gig, he would ask for his name to go down as Charlie Watts. Until he missed a festival because they asked for ID to check off the names.

^ Exactly, that's how the draft works. What's your point?

Or perhaps you can tell us how it would work if all 18 teams were given pick 1 in the first round?

I don't mind the compensation system. Remember that it's all about creating a level playing field too. 23 for Mayne is overs but freo have a worse list than us atm.

Everyone keeps mentioning the Buddy and Frawley compensation.

Imagine if the Hawks coming off a premiership get compensated with pick 3 for Buddy, and Frawley netting Melbourne, who have been shit for 10 years, with pick 18.

I think the system is definitely helping equalisation so it's not as bad what people make out.

well they tried to be (what was it again RoyalFlush?) and that didn't work, so now the are trying to copy what we tried.
Like everything else we were innovators now the pies are following our lead.
But it'll pay off for them RB96, as they have a high performance culture....shit i forgot my famous quote

Seriously, it's based on the money and the length of contract and we are all getting a 2nd rounder after our second round pick.
This is what happens if you continue to finish mid table or higher.
Go talk to hawthorn about their buddy compo, I'm sure they enlighten you.
