ADELAIDE will join Hawthorn this week in sending a please explain to AFL salary cap master Ken Wood to understand how free-agency compensation draft picks were assigned.
The Crows remain baffled on how the loss of half-forward Chris Knights to Richmond gave Adelaide no compensation. They expected at least a third-round draft pick.
Hawthorn feels it has been "pick-pocketed" by Wood assigning the Hawks draft pick No.66 for premiership player Clinton Young's move to Collingwood.
Port Adelaide was the major winner of the first free-agent market that closed on Friday, with two high-order compensation picks at No. 30 and 31 for losing midfielder Danyle Pearce (to Fremantle) and key defender Troy Chaplin (to Richmond).
Adelaide football operations chief Phil Harper and his Hawks counterpart Mark Evans want to be run through the maths Wood used to ignore compensation for Knights and rate Young so cheaply.
"We expected some compensation for Knights," Harper said yesterday.
"We thought there would be a late pick, say in the third round. We're not overly worried today because we probably would not have used that pick," added Harper, whose Crows currently are primed for just two live picks in next month's national draft. These would be Adelaide's first-round pick at No. 20 and Sydney's No. 23 in the impending trade for defecting forward Kurt Tippett.
"But if we had been planning on a compensation pick for losing Chris Knights, we would like to know the process that formed the decision there be no compensation.
"We need to know for the future. And we're sure everyone wants to know how compensation is assigned."
Most clubs, Adelaide included, believe there should be a transparent formula, as there is for players before the match review panel.
The AFL declared on Friday that Wood's decision to offer no compensation was "based on the age" of Knights, who is 26, and the contract offer from his new club at Richmond.
Evans says the AFL market would have rated Young at an early second-round draft pick, as Wood did with Pearce and Chaplin. He also wants clarity on Wood's differing verdict.
"I don't know if anyone could look you in the eye and say this is a just system," he said.
