Band 2 will be barely any different from band 3 as things stand. If the rumours are to be believed, band 3 is the best we can hope for.
Is band 3 2nd round compo and what happens if we don't have a 2nd round pick ?

We saw glimpses of Jaksch. He was going to be our key defender for a decade. He will be playing at the AMMO's next season. Saw glimpses of Sumner and Whiley and Phillips. Jaksch cost us pick 7 from memory. Interesting that Jack Lever got picked up at pick 14 in that draft.
My predictions for who might be delisted at seasons end (Not including Rookie List)
Buckley
Boekhorst
Jaksch
Sumner
Palmer
White
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Palmer on a 2-year deal? I didn't see him on our 'out of contract' list in the article from April.My predictions for who might be delisted at seasons end (Not including Rookie List)

Is band 3 2nd round compo and what happens if we don't have a 2nd round pick ?
KJ has the talent, just not the drive to make it at AFL level.
What makes it worse was the SOS warned the footy club about taking him on, yet we still went ahead with the trade.
To think we could have drafted Peter Wright that year.
I'd be happy with getting our second pick back for Cas. It would be in the ballpark of what we'd get for trade anyway. A KPF one rung below the top players (maybe I'm being generous) at his age is worth a pick in the 20s.Band 1 - First round
Band 2 - End of first round
Band 3 - Second round
Band 4 - End of second round
If we don't have a 2nd round pick but receive band 3 compensation, the compensation pick will slot into where our pick would have been.
Band 4 might be as late as 40.Any pick in the 20-30 range is a good win out of the Cas situation. While the pick on its own might not be to a great advantage, it can definitely be the "and something" that gets another high profile deal over the line.
We honestly have to thank Cas if that's what he nets us as we would have gotten penuts for him at the end of last season.

???I think most of us would be and I suspect the club would be as well.
This year we're a bit lucky - for want of a better term - that our band 2 and 4 picks won't be far off 1 and 3, so if Levi gets paid we're well placed to benefit from it quite considerably.
There's also band 5 though. That's a 3rd round pick and I suspect that may be a different story. In a weak draft I'm not sure we'll be happy with a pick 40 odd for Levi, which is where I suspect the mooted interest in someone like Trengove might come into play.
Band 4 might be as late as 40.
After the deal is done I believe Shan. IIRC, they don't tell the club in advance - lest it affect their decision.Does the AFL advise the club which band of compensation they'd receive after a FA gets an offer?
Might have enquired but not sure the AFL would've actually told them up front.*I may be wrong, but didn't St Kilda enquire with the AFL about the level of compo when they lost Dal Santo?

Band 4 is end of second round, i.e. pick 37 at the minimum. That's miles away from band 3, but close to band 5.

All we can do is wait for the result.
I don't know about 'too easy' but it would certainly make too much sense for the AFL. Couldn't have clubs making informed decisions...After the deal is done I believe Shan. IIRC, they don't tell the club in advance - lest it affect their decision.
That'd be too easy now, wouldn't it![]()
