Chess has pretty much played seniors when fit whereas SPS was mostly out of the team and think he had a season or two extra at the the Blues than Chess with us

Nah he did have a contract offer from the blues , just had a look we traded pick 52 for him.
All Iām saying is it will be a similar compensation. Getting a 2nd round pick or a pick upgrade with the hawthorn pick is just not going to happen.

You're right in terms of reality but really think we should tell Chess that if Carlton want you they need to give us fair compensation, otherwise you stay with us (or walk to the draft, I think it's unlikely as it's not like we haven't treated him well, unlike a partington or O'Neil etc). I think we are perfectly entitled to do so, if Carlton was offering a significantly better contract I think we'd have no leg to stand on. But we obviously value him and have given him every opportunity we possibly can.
Absolutely we can say that but at the end of the day we will let him go for what they give us , we are not going to play hardball or risk relationships with player association and Carlton over Campbell Chesser

That's fair and you're right I'm sure but really don't see why Chesser would object to us holding out for something decent for him. We've treated a lot of young players pretty badly over a number of years but he certainly doesn't fall into that category. Just struggle to see why we couldn't convince him to stay if the deal didn't suite us, but I'm living in a fantasy land I guess.Absolutely we can say that but at the end of the day we will let him go for what they give us , we are not going to play hardball or risk relationships with player association and Carlton over Campbell Chesser

Pick 52. SPS was a proven spud at that point though after 80 games and not sure Carlton wanted him anymore. Chesser is still a required player for us.
We wonāt get much more than that

Just take a bite
Is its a pick like that we have very little use for, let him go into the PSD and run the gauntlet of going to Norf.
He was classed as a required player at Carlton he was offered a new contract. I do agree with you Chesser probably has slightly more upside now on what SPS had when we traded him in, but all Iām saying is the compensation people are talking about is just way off the mark.
So disappointed. Really rate his potential. Will never reach it at Carlton.

Pretty fair to think Acres might be involved in this, though Iād hope we donāt give up much in return if it is
Victoria provides the largest pool of AFL players and Perth is the furthest city from Victoria. Young players want to go home is always the negativity to the AFL wanting the recruiting to be nationalised.
Currently, AFL did nothing to make this fair for WA clubs. (and Chesser's case could be an example).The Eagles should raise this to AFL, especially in our 2025 assistant packages.
Note: I suggest clubs losing players because of the "go home" reason should be compensated with pick advantages. (High draft pick for their home state players for example)

It's rather amusing how we are all more devastated about losing Chesser than someone of Liam Ryans quality but that's the gut punch when rebuilding for the future.
So let's hope the Eagles can get something that assists us with that rebuild for both of these players.
*Yeah, you know we're going to get shafted.
