Tom Scully was the last formula based pre-first round priority pick, in 2009.
The suns got Rowell, north have “only” been given end of first round picks. Personal opinion, obviously, but I’d guess the eagles would get something more like north did, end of first round picks, some of which are contingent and therefore highly incentivised to trade.

Yep, I forgot that one.

Yeah I think it’s far more likely that they get a compo pick for Allen but it’ll be 4 years in a row with bottom 3 finishes, wouldn’t surprise me at all for them to be gifted something.
I know. But they should all be on the table. Then you get creative with trading.
Yeah, but I think its more likely to be second round compo, additional list spots, or access to pre-select mature aged players. These are generally the first compensation approaches.
Not top 5 picks.
Yep you’re most likely right but overall my point still stands - expect WCE to secure an additional pick before our first (most likely through Allen leaving as a FA), plus maybe something extra along the way from the AFL.

I don’t think Allan will get them band 1 compo.
Didn’t they win a flag not so long ago? That same team made an another GF and lost didn’t they? And they won another flag in 2006. They’re not getting a priority pick I wouldn’t have thought.
He 100% will.

On the merits, he won’t. But the AFL will use it as an opportunity to give a back door priority pick.
