You've gotten band 4.
The fact Hewett and Chol get the same compensation should be cause to overhaul the system. Absolutely baffling decision.

Stephens too, but some journos seem to think he has already agreed to terms with Carlton.

This one was manufactured by the club in 2020. Back ended his deal so he qualified as RFA. With Mills, Warner & Rowbottom to go alongside Parker/Kennedy I think they see him as the one to make way, and if they can get value for him they are happy to free up the $$$ for the cash that our young brigade will soon be expecting.

Rumor is 450K for 4 years at Carlton - what would the free agency compo be?

Probably band 3, maybe band 4.

I agree - at age of 25 slightly higher chance of Band 3. I'd say 60/40

Yep. I'd be disappointed that we couldn't trump that with 550/4.

Something similar to what Richmond got for Brandon Ellis aka not much..
Freeing up valuable cap space is probably a minor win for the Swans, you are being punished for drafting and developing young and good players over the years somewhat tbh.

The fact that it is an unknown shows how terrible the whole FA is.
Age x, Salary y, Years z = Band ...
Even then, I dont think age should matter. The contract is all that should matter.
You have no idea if the deal is already done, pure speculation.

Won’t believe it until he’s holding the jumper up on the Facebook page. Such an underrated player and I’m surprised more clubs aren’t in for him, I suspect that will come.

Herald Sun reporting this is a done deal (technically Swans have ability to match under RFA but wont).
4 years @ $450k. Start you magic 8 ball compo guesses.
He is 25 years old, getting a ~$1.8m-$2m deal. Could be anywhere from Band 2 to Band 4 depending on what way the wind blows.....
Is B Crouch the best comparison?

I suspect Band 3 myself, Crouch won a couple of B and Fs at the Crows and is on much bigger money at the Saints than what George will get at Carlton but who knows for sure ?
Not a tackling or clearance machine, zero goals zero behinds for the year...that's statistically difficult for a mid in 21 games.
Not as excited as some, but offers some continuity should Ed retire this year.

He had 13 tackles in a final a few weeks ago. Some of our mids wouldn’t get that in a month.
Happy to pick him up for free.

Had to start the year in defense then when a few injuries to our mids happened he got moved back. Also does a lot of tagging
2nd in a B&F in 2019 as a full time mid. Some back issues in 2020 and seems to have been moved on since
Erm...Hewett himself had multiple months this year he didn't make 13 tackles.
I don't dislike the pick up, but will be a well paid battler.

450 K per season is hardly a well paid deal in the Grand scheme of things, thing we got bit of a bargain there tbh.
Absolutely a massive upgrade on Newnes at any rate.
Your point?

I'm a bit disappointed, but willing to back the club in. Either way, if the Blues back him in as an inside midfielder, aside from the occasional game tagging (which he's also very ******* good at, he will be a great pick-up.
Will always give you manic pressure too. He had 37 pressure acts in the second game against GWS, but was something absurd like 35 in 3 quarters when the game was actually there to be won. I think Carlton fans will end up being very happy with this.
