Didn't really have to ask that question either. Geelong had clearly already answered it for them in 2010. But no they just rolled in and assumed paying someone squillions would fix it all. Arrogant and stupid.

I suppose 4912-1 shots do get up occasionally.
But that is the odds of a particular club randomly being the beneficiary of possibly the 3 most lopsided deals(at the point of the deal being made) in recent history.
If Suns have a great deal to sell, Geelong make up 1/17th of the market place. So all being equal Geelong would be a $17.0 chance to be on the other end of the deal.
17 x 17 x 17 = 4913. Thus, 4912-1 odds.
Pretty unlikely stuff.

I value loyalty because I had a s**t upbringing. Us types usually do
It's a bit sobering when you realise that when GAJ played his last final at his peak (PF 2010), he was just one month older than Dusty when he won his first of three Norm Smiths, and a year younger than his Dad when he played in his first finals series.

I’m sure it’s you but I could be wrong. Doesn’t your old boy post on bf too? You probably had a killa upbringing

He’s a good bloke with leadership qualities supposedly. Jordan Murdoch from us and Rory Atkins from the Crows are still the worst players I’ve ever seen at Gold Coast I reckon.Horlin-Smith? We were dudded on that transaction as well!!
Careful not to confuse loyality in your personal life with loralty in the workplace.
What makes the contribution of Quinton Narkle any less worthy of loyalty than Jeremy Cameron? As far as we know he trains just as hard, looks after his body just as well, tries just as hard. But we terminated his employment last week.
No one accuses the club of being disloyal. Why? Because it is a business decision ultimately. There are other factors that play SOME part, but it’s a business decision at its heart. And we are fine with that. We don’t wish it on anyone but we know it is part of the game: despite everything you’ve given of yourself, goodbye and good luck.
Holding players to a different standard is unfair.

Wait, we delisted Narkle? That sucks man. Like the bloke
I agree - and same goes with guys like Nick Stevens (who we had for two years) and Zane Williams (who we had for all of six months) before they were just cut.
To be fair to Geelong, Brisbane's has also had a few favourable interactions with GC too:
2010 - Jared Brennan, pick 10 and 49 to GC for pick 5, 25 and 28
2011 - pick 35 to GC for pick 47 and QLD zone selection Dayne Zorko
2018 - Brisbane's future first (#14, pushed out to #17) for pick 19, GC future second (#19 out to #23)
2018 - delisted contracted Jarryd Lyons to Brisbane could pick him up for free
Slightly tongue in cheek because similar to the Geelong situation, if you look at the actual context of the situations, they're obviously one sided trades.

Often here this from Hawthorn fans when playing the woe is me card in regards to the compensation they received for Buddy leaving.
I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me how a 9 year deal worth $10million is more ‘money’ than a 5 year deal worth $9million, especially when that second player has another 5 years earning capacity to come.
As per the Niall article in 2018 which is considered the closest we’ll get to a comprehensive outline of the AFL’s formula: A free agent paid $2 million over two years will be ranked higher on the compensation table than one who is paid $3.5 million over four years. The length of contract is only a ‘‘tie-breaker’’ if annual salary is equal to another player. The contract must be at least two years.
So it would be appreciated if Hawthorn fans could finally understand this.

10 > 9
I guess
Plus a heap of the GAJ money was ambassador money outside the cap. We know how much the AFL hated Buddy going to the Swans so it was all in the cap.
The fact that Australia can't produce 33 footballers in any year that professional teams want on their list is so telling.
We can't get enough good footballers for 18 teams, now they want to bring in a 19th!!
Go back to 16 teams. GWS and Suns exist only to feed players and picks back to Victoria.
Hawthorn certainly got a raw deal as far as compensation goes with Buddy but with hindsight you guys should be pretty stoked at how the whole thing ended up. Hawks won two more flags while the AFL went hard on Sydney out of pure spite and pettiness because they wanted Franklin to sign with GWS.

For sure the process stank, but we kept all our players and brought in more with the Buddy money.

Wasn’t he a free agent and GC decided not to match the bid? Wouldn’t they have received a compensation pick?
