Geelong list boss Andrew Mackie has taken aim at the AFL for the controversial compensation system tied to departing free agents. Eyebrows were raised last week when Josh Battle’s move to Hawthorn and Harry Perryman’s switch to Collingwood both netted band one compensation for St Kilda and GWS respectively. The Saints landed pick No.8, while the Giants netted pick No.16. As a result, the Cats’ first pick shifted back from No.15 to No.
“By definition, it means they’re in the top five per cent paid players in the comp - that’s what gets you tier one or band one which lands in there. “I think there are ways where you can quarantine the first round in compensation.” He also took a dig at St Kilda president Andrew Bassat. Bassat slammed the AFL’s father-son and academy system as “rubbish” in a massive critique at the club’s best and fairest night.
