HAWTHORN is leading the fight for AFL clubs to get more information on the formula used to decide free agency compensation.
The Hawks are studying details to see if they can challenge the draft pick 66 return for running back Clinton Young's move to Collingwood.
"We'll go back through our documentation to see where there's (grounds) for an appeal or not. There doesn't appear to be one at first look,'' Hawks football manager Mark Evans told the Herald Sun today.
Evans said the clubs want more details of the new system, claiming they are "flying blind'' when not even being aware of an offer to a player who's an unrestricted free agency like Young.
"We'll all get use to it, but we need to have a system that has some equity in it. And we need to be able to understand why some things come out the way they do,'' he told SEN radio.
"I know it was an agreement between the AFL and the Players Association and that the formula be kept secret, but it doesn't help us understand the system.
"We've had some discussion with them (AFL), but we certainly haven't put anything formally at this stage.
"It's hard to determine the free agency compensation because we don't understand the details of the formula they've used. And it's not like we've got 10 years of experience of looking at free agency compensation picks to determine whether it's fair or not.
"We've only got the free agency compensation picks that have been handed out and, on the surface of it, pick 66 as a combination for Clinton Young and Tom Murphy doesn't seem just. And certainly doesn't look just when you look at some of the other compensations that were handed out.
"My issue is, if you've got a player who has just played in a grand final team with a club that's right at the top of the ladder and then you end up being 30 or 40 picks behind some of the other compensations for players you think might be regarded as about the same (ability), all I'm saying is that maybe that system we've come up with has got a couple of chinks in it.''
Evans said he wasn't aware there was no compensation for some players.
"We certainly need some better detail on why we ended up getting pick 66 for Clinton Young,'' he said.
