\u201cThis could be the last one of these deals,\u201d Ralph began on Fox Footy\u2019s Trading Day, questioning whether Allen was worth the second overall pick. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy understanding is the AFL will look at the free agency compensation, and over summer it might be that the best pick you can get for free agency compensation might be pick 5 or 10 or even the end of first round. I think that\u2019s great. <\/p>\n
\u201cOscar has only kicked 50 goals (in a season) once in his AFL career. Is it Joe Daniher 2.0? Eight years into his career, Joe, with injury issues, had only kicked 50 once himself (yet netted Essendon band one compensation). <\/p>\n
\u201cThe West Coast picks \u2014 they\u2019ve (now) got 1, 2, 12, 33, 37 and a couple in the 50s. They will get Deven Robertson, they\u2019ve got a plan for him … and they will get Tylar Young.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the moment, the AFL\u2019s compensation formula produces a points rating for players based on the new contract of the free agent, and the age of the free agent. Allen, 26, is set to lock in a six-year deal with Brisbane on a lucrative sum. <\/p>\n

Former Sydney champion and 1988 Brownlow Medallist Gerard Healy said the Allen result was good for the Eagles but also questioned the Pick 2 outcome. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a good trade (of assets), as far as I\u2019m concerned,\u201d he told Fox Footy. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have to turn over too many rocks to find somebody who says that there\u2019s problems with his (Allen\u2019s) knees. That wouldn\u2019t be news to Brisbane, though, so they would have done their medical research on him. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think the biggest question is, is he worth Pick 2? Has the AFL got this right, that you\u2019re handing over Pick 2 for a guy that hasn\u2019t played great footy for a few years. <\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he was the best up-and-coming young forward in the competition … and he, in my view, is going to become the guy that led them (the Lions) to another flag … but Pick 2 \u2014 it\u2019s a huge compensation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Western Bulldogs legend Brad Johnson suggested that West Coast, armed with another premium draft asset, could build a considerable portion of its list in one off-season \u2014 similar to that of Richmond last year. <\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think from West Coast\u2019s point of view, though, now with Pick 1 and 2, they actually look at Pick 1 and go \u2018do we offload that to another club, maybe a Bombers, for 4 and 5, for example, and then go into the draft with 2, 4, 5 and 12?\u2019 and really build their list \u2014 similar to what Richmond did,\u201d he floated on Trading Day. <\/p>\n
Ralph said that was \u201cpotentially\u201d an option but hinted at the weaker nature of this November\u2019s intake compared to last year\u2019s. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think the only thing that West Coast would say is there\u2019s probably a top five or six players, and three or four of them are Academy picks,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo, Cooper Duff-Tytler there and (Willem) Duursma (in the open draft). They\u2019re two really exciting players.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oscar Allen\u2019s move to Brisbane could be the last instance where a draft pick as high as no.2…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":197289,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123877,123871,28460,123876,64,63,689,7488,3237,19120,123872,123878,3434,26517,123875,44388,11238,13659,31756,2105,9130,19069,3231,12935,681,3465,7804,677,15836,46,123873,123874,85,11236,20432,7067,3439,698],"class_list":["post-197288","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-academy-picks","tag-agency-change","tag-agency-compensation","tag-agency-move","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-brad-johnson","tag-brisbane-lions","tag-christian-petracca","tag-compensation-changes","tag-compensation-formula","tag-cooper-duff-tytler","tag-daniel-carson","tag-dealing-team","tag-deven-robertson","tag-draft-pick","tag-geelong-cats","tag-gerard-healy","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-gold-coast-suns","tag-injury-issues","tag-jack-jovanovski","tag-joe-daniher","tag-jon-ralph","tag-leigh-montagna","tag-melbourne-demons","tag-oceania","tag-oscar-allen","tag-perth","tag-points-rating","tag-premium-draft-asset","tag-sports","tag-trade-news","tag-transfer-window","tag-west-coast-eagles","tag-western-australia","tag-western-bulldogs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197288\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/197289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
