Im happy to listen, what would be the basis of band 1 or 2
What band did we receive for Bock? Surely at the time Bock would of been assessed as a higher band than Tippett?
Compensation was largely determined by the contact offered to Kurt by GC and his age. At the time he would have been 23~ and he would have been GC 2nd highest paid, likely on close to $1M. This on its own nets us at the very least Band 2 and depending on contract size, probably band 1. We got done over with Bock because of his age, he was 28-29, so the AFL argued that he wasn't worth as much. If a player was less than 3 from drafting, the their draft position was taken into account. The AFL also assessed a couple of other things, but they played only minor roles. It was essentially a function of age and contract size.
The compos finished up as:
Band 1: Ablett, Scully
Band 2: Davis, Ward
Band 3: Bock, Brown, Brennan, Rischatelli,
Band 4: Krakour, Reid (maybe band 3)
Band 5: Frasier
I've probably missed a few, but that's largely the gist of it.
