A FURIOUS Hawthorn is exploring its appeal options after claiming it was "pick-pocketed" by free agency compensation.
The Hawks were stunned to receive only a third-round pick (No.66) to compensate for the loss of Clinton Young to Collingwood.
They believe Young would not last beyond pick No.30 if he was in the national draft.
"I don't know if anyone could look you in the eye and say this is a just system," Hawthorn football manager Mark Evans told the Herald Sun.
"It is like we've been pick-pocketed and somebody has put an old $2 scratchy ticket back in our pocket."
On top of losing the talented Young, Hawthorn also lost free agent Thomas Murphy to Gold Coast without any compensation.
Evans said the Hawks would explore their options for appeal, even though the AFL did not offer much hope.
"We were told it is what it is," Evans said.
Melbourne also received paltry compensation for losing experienced free agents Brent Moloney and Jared Rivers.
The Demons lost 295 games of experience and received just a third-round pick (No.49) in return.

Snaring Shannon Byrnes from Geelong as a free agent watered down the Demons' compensation, but it was thought they would receive at least a second round pick for Moloney and Rivers.
Given the size of new contracts was a key part of the compensation formula, it is clear Rivers (to Geelong) and Moloney (to Brisbane Lions) are both on modest deals at their new clubs.
The Demons fared extremely well to jag two first round picks for losing Tom Scully to GWS under expansion rules, but there was no such extravagance this time.
The ruling has raised eyebrows at the Demons, but list manager Tim Harrington refused to comment.
Hawthorn also appeared to be short-changed under the compensation deal, determined mainly by league salary cap watchdog Ken Wood.
In another surprise, Adelaide received nothing for losing long-kicking forward Chris Knights to Richmond.
The AFL has moved to clarify that a club was not automatically entitled to compensation for the loss of a player.
As expected, St Kilda received a first-round pick (No.13) for losing Brendan Goddard.
Winners and losers of trade month so far
But the biggest winner was Port Adelaide, which gained two second round picks (No.30 and No.31) to sweeten the loss of Troy Chaplin (Richmond) and Danyle Pearce (Fremantle).
