"Equivalent to the compensation we would have received if he went to Gold Coast two years ago". We wouldn't have received "the Ablett Compensation" so look for mid to late first round draft pick or player equivalent.
If Mitch Clark was worth pick 12 then Kurt is worth pick 1, 2 or 3. This aint gunna happen.
P.S. Spackler, Kurt signed the deal three months after Craig left.
Just keep repeating, it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault, it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault, it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,it's all Neil Craig's fault,
I honestly don't think it's about the money at all. There's no doubt in my mind that Adelaide's offer was as good financially as he would find elsewhere (or very close to it). It's probably more about lifestyle. Let's face it - as a surfer - where would you prefer to live? Adelaide or the Gold Coast? The fact that his family lives on the GC is an added attraction as well.
*s sake. Our forward line/ruck will take a hit in quality for sure. Gotta target a mobile big man who can ruck and play forward. Lycett/Gorringe/Giles or whoever the hell we can get. Leaves a big hole. I'm actually shattered, but I guess the writing was on the wall the more he delayed the decision...
so it wasn't necessarily about going home.

He's still possibly 1 head knock away from retirement, needs to get as much out of this career as he can.
Chances are he's heading for early onset dementia as it is now.

No, it was about leaving Adelaide.
Thousands of people choose to leave Adelaide each year because they'd rather live somewhere else.
Davis and Bock were money. They were happy they were the ones chosen to receive the expansion club prize. Tippett and Gunston was a simple "I don't want to live here."

As much as I love Adelaide, I don't hold it against any young man with good looks and a shed load of money who has an opportunity elsewhere.
No different to young minds going elsewhere for the money/lifestyle, and that would be happening on a daily basis.

Yep.
The Karma Bus would now dictate a certain GWS fullbacks shoulder being irreparably damaged whilst delivering the "knock out" blow to a certain FF d######'s cranium early next year

Unfortunately correct. A structural disadvantage that I can't possibly see how we overcome

Gold Coast's #2 pick is the most attractive nugget amongst the supposed interested clubs. Let's hope that it is where knucklehead wants to go.

Couldn't agree more. Based on last few seasons, worth $550,000 tops.

It's an unfortunate fact of the evolution of the sporting landscape.
More and more players are playing purely for the money and club loyalty is a declining factor in players decision making processes. This evolution has just seen its latest incarnation is the Free Agancy in which more and more players, drafted from interstate especially, will start to drift away to home states. The old days of one club careers are slowly becoming more and more of a memory.
We have to come to terms with the possibility that we may lose Danger to Free agency in a few years to Geelong. It's the way of the sporting landscape in the 21st century.

There is an underlying reason why we have lost Davis, Gunston and Tippett and it is now time to do something about it. (It has nothing to do with the current or previous coach).
We can now draw a line in the sand, appoint Patty and Rory as our on field leaders and start to build a new culture.

If we get him, it won't be because of money. We don't have the room. We aren't Carlton.
Malthouse agreed to it. Not sure how we treated him poorly, he had been at the Pies for 10 years without a premiership when it was agreed to. But, this topic has been discussed 100 times before (and it's off topic).
