Cause hes injured. Not because of the mid season draft. I am glad we didn't lose three of our best. Imagine losing Lowe, F Heard and Rokahr.

Draft/injured still unavailable

Thought Heard might have been a chance, Lowe doesnt have the weapons and Rokahr has a bit of the Tom Lewis' about him.

Well the Eagles lost 3 of their very best players that AFL clubs deemed AFL quality possibly including 2 Key Position Defenders, how many did Norwood lose?

So they have no depth, thanks for confirming

 

[Punchy Bassett]

I would have taken F Heard before Van Wyk

 

[Mutineer]

Greater compensation to clubs for players drafted is an interesting one.

It used to be that if an SANFL club had a player drafted they would be paid directly. The more players a club had drafted, the more money they received.

The SANFL clubs themselves voted against this system. The weaker clubs argued that it rewarded the strong clubs too much and the gap widened. All clubs said that it was an unpredictable revenue stream so hard to budget.

So it was scrapped.

Now the SANFL clubs just get a flat fee across the board, no matter how good or crap they are. Easier for budgeting I'm sure but if WWT is decimated by losing three players at once... the SANFL club's compensation system is to go **** yourselves. This is the system the SANFL clubs wanted.

Traditionally "weaker" clubs like South and West have had quite a number of players drafted in the last decade or 2, it seems very strange you'd want to vote against a system that gives you a monetary benefit from that.

When this was changed there was no early season draft and no mid season draft so increased compensation is now warranted

Can’t remember which sports show was discussing it, they said sucks to lose players but it also helps attract them, as you can point to development to get them picked up by the AFL.

Pity didn’t work for McBean and Hosie

Theyd probably get paid more at the Bay anyway

That makes no difference?

It's still spread equally so just bad luck WWT, you get the same slice as Sturt who had zero players taken
