My crack at proposed changes. The vibe is:
My proposed approach:
- equalisation for all bands (currently there is no equalisation for bands 2 and 4)
- less extreme equalisation
- top 9 picks are sacred
- the team that gets the player gives something up, but this is less than what the compo to the former team is, and there is no equalisation in this addition.
Examples of how this could work.
- Band X (the AFL loves X - this would be for the top 10 paid players in the comp)
- old clubs gets a pick after 1-9, depending on finishing position
- new clubs the points equivalent of 18 (this would be taken from their next pick, or they could use earlier picks if they wished)
- Band 1 (same as current band 1, without the top 10ish paid players)
- old club gets pick after pick 10-18, depending on finishing position
- new club loses the points equivalent of pick 27, which is mid second-round
- Band 2
- old club gets a compo pick after 19-27
- new club loses 36
- Band 3
- old club gets 28-36
- new club loses 45
- Band 4
- old club gets 37-45
- new club loses 54
- Band 5
- old club gets 46-54
- new club loses 63
Tom Lynch, Band 1
Scott Lycett, assuming band 2 and west coast finish second
- Gold Coast are offered pick 11 as compo
- Gold Coast can accept this or match the offer and force a trade
- If they accepted the offer, then Richmond would lose the equivalent of pick 27.
Jordan Roughead, assuming band 4
- West Coast are offered pick 28 as compo
- West coast can accept or match the bid and force a trade
- If WC accept then port would lose the equivalent of pick 36
- Bulldogs are offered pick 40 as compo
- dogs can match etc
- If Dogs accept compo then west coast would lose equivalent of pick 54
The exact picks for compo and reverse-compo may be slightly off, but i feel that this is a better system.
Yours is a very good system.
