Still growing.... That's a huge tick for me. I think that's a big indicator that he has massive up-side and he's already ranked top 3-5.

Him and LDU are both decent sizes and good attacking flare to combine with their contested game.

It’s really tempting but we probably should go key players first and bring in mids over the following drafts. Hollands and then Cox might be a compromise if we felt Hollands was too good a player to pass up.

The AFL has warned clubs they should not expect to be fully compensated for the departure of their superstar free agents.
In an email seen by the Herald Sun, the league has made clear clubs should not expect entirely equivalent returns for any player which exercises their free agency rights after eight years’ service.
The document also details how the AFL determines the compensation picks based on free agents’ new salaries and their age.

However, there is an “expert committee” which reviews all pick outcomes and can recommend changes to the league’s general counsel in the event of an “anomalous result”.
Greater Western Sydney is slated to receive pick No.10 as compensation for Jeremy Cameron’s move to Geelong — if they do not match the Cats bid under the free agency model — but the Giants are determined to force a trade to secure a more attractive outcome.
Likewise Essendon (Joe Daniher) and Adelaide (Brad Crouch) want first-round compensation picks for their departing stars, but may have to settle for end-of-first round selection picks.
Crouch’s new salary at St Kilda will be significantly less than $700,000 a year, it was confirmed on Thursday.
But the AFL told clubs this week they should not expect bumper compensation pick returns for free agents.

The AFL memo said the compensation formula was “NOT DESIGNED to fully compensate a club for the loss of a player”.
Instead, the league advised the picks were designed to “reflect the relative values of various players to one another” after eight or more years of service to one club.
The scene is set for tense talks between clubs as the Cats have no plans to give up any of their three first-round picks to GWS in a trade.

Cats’ pair Esava Ratugolea and Brandan Parfitt are also off the trade table, their managers have confirmed.
In the AFL document, the league detailed the five bands which determine the compensation picks, based on the “age of player” and their “average guaranteed payments – base plus ASA (additional service agreements)”.
Players must be in the top-five per cent of earners for their age bracket to trigger first-round compensation.
Top 15 per cent of the pay scale triggers an end-of-first-round pick. Top 30 per cent is a second-round selection.
Top 50 per cent is an end-of-second-round pick. Top 70 per cent is third-round.
Good. The "expert commitee" will put pay to the nonsense coming out of SA that Adelaide deserve band 1 compo. It would be an "anomalous result" for a team that played in a GF only a couple of years ago to get the two top picks in a National draft for losing an average truck like Crouch. The Crows have barely concealed their haste in wanting to get rid of him. Hollands is our man. Jy, LDU and EH. Wroooar.

Also sets an expectation for clubs finishing bottom, to have OOC players ready to go for FA so they can get band 1 compos.

St Kilda and the Crows got together for a deal RE: Brad Crouch to ensure Adelaide gets compensation pick number two,” Lyon read on SEN Breakfast.

“The thought is the money was not high enough to give him the compensation.

“Initially the Crouch money fell under the compensation to make it happen, so the Saints bumped up his wage to get the average over $700,000, originally $550,000, which wasn’t enough.

Will adelaide still get pick#2 ?

Surely this falls under the classification of draft tampering??

Personally I think Lyon is full of it. Cant wait for trade / FA period to start to find out either way.

Yep. If Adelaide don't get Band 1 compo, StKilda know that Adelaide will match its offer and force them into trade, possibly involving its first round pick. So St Kilda are paying overs to Crouch for ulterior motives so that's arguably tampering. I'm confident that Adelaide won't get Band 1 - because the leaked emails were orchestrated by the AFL sending a message to Clubs. If Adelaide don't get Band 1 and Adelaide force St Kilda into a trade, Saints will be unhappy campers. Good. Serves them right.
