With the AFL bring in the Free Agency Policy as discussed on SEN allowing 1 player from to go to GC17 from each club which MFC player would we give them and who would be the one player off limits? Thoughts?

They can have Dunn, Bate, Sylvia or Bruce. I'm not fussed which one.

I wouldnt cry if we lost one of Bruce, Dunn, Bate, Sylvia, Cheney, McNamara, Whelan, Buckley, Wheatley, Bartram

It's not that I don't rate any of these players but I can't see any big holes left in our list without them and it wouldn't be the end of the world if we lost one of them.

Yeah, anyone from that list wouldn't do us much harm if they were to leave (though we'd best reserve judgement on McNamara until we see him play).

Include Newton.

McNamara... what I've seen of him live is impressive, I'd be more than happy if he's in our squad over the next 2 to 3 years.

so would i, but we do have a lot of very good defenders so if someone had to go and it was him, i dont think that it could impede on us winning a premiership...

of course, how did i forget to add newton to that list...

Why doesnt the club jump on the front foot and start signing up all our important players??

Do we get any compensation if they take one of our players, like one of their draft picks?

Miller should be in there he's only played 1 good game against the powerful Richmond and 5 mins against the wobbles and West Coast. He is a very ordinary player.

Miller isnt the only one on the list to have a couple of bad games this season.

Your names sake for example.

I think you will find that if you took some time and watched Miller play, he deserves more than what your one liner suggests.

I agree on Brad Miller, he's a queenslander and will be turning 28 in 2011 so I think both parties would be happy enough with the parting, especially if we pick up Butcher in the coming draft with Watts and Jurrah also developing.

Expect to see Miller as the first FF and Vice-captain of the new Gold Coast team.

As I understand the rule, I think that GC have the right to take any uncontracted player they like from our list without any compensation, but that's contingent on the player agreeing to go there. Hopefully none of our players leave under such circumstances, but if the player and the GC agree on a contract, then we don't have any say in it at all unfortunately.

havnt we done this topic in a few other threads the past weeks?

Cale Morton on GC hit list includes a link to the article which describes the compo recieved.

Players safe from being poached by the Gold Coast players who are contracted, uncontracted and whoi we dop/don't want them to take.

AFL secret draft gold Coasts swoop on uncontracted players

edit: anyway, this thread isn't actually about free agency, its just about the GC17 uncontracted player grab. thats not free agency, thats stay, draft or GC.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
