If you loose an uncontracted player to the gold coast are are compensated with a draft pick from the afl, the formula considers a range of things including where that player was drafted, their age and where they finished in the b & f and their club ranking they then determine which round of the draft that player is worth and you get a pick.
So i dont really think there will be a fire sale clubs will have to weigh up what they can get for the player v the compensation pick they would get from the afl.
There are bargains going around at draft time with clubs unwilling to give up draft picks hence why we got Shaw so cheap i think he would probably cost more had there not been compromised drafts in the near future.
