Just wondering if the AFL have put in rules that stop teams from abusing the compensation from losing a player like we saw with Jared Brennan going to the Gold Coast.
For example could St Kilda make a deal with Freo whereby St Kilda say they will not match the offer that Freo give to Goddard if Freo trade their first pick for a fourth round pick (just a random example). Therefore St Kilda receive Freo's first rounder plus the likely first rounder they will receive as compensation from the AFL.
This way Freo get Goddard cheaply trade wise, St Kilda get fairer compensation and no one really loses.
It seems the way Goddard and St Kilda are openly dealing with each other, that both would be willing to sort out something like this.
