lol Geelong is going to get a late 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder for Ablett. What a joke.

Dont think so ... IMHO thats why the AFL changed the rules. Pre-rule change it was much worse.

The "interesting" anomaly is that ... say a player like Martin would attract the same compensation as a player like Ablett.

However, suppose it was always going to be difficult to keep all parties happy.

Yep the compo for Harbrow is correct. Can't believe Campbell Brown is rated the same as Rischitelli, Harbrow and Bock. Hawks must be laughing!!

Brown is a Premiership player, also a past All Australian, who still has plenty left to give.

Fair appraisal- however Richitelli has just one the B&F for his club- surely he would be at 22 years of age ahead of Brock & Brown in the picking order.

I'm not saying Gold Coast wouldn't be happy to get him! I'm talking about the compensation the AFL gave the Hawks. There is no way he is equal to those players and the Hawks are laughing all the way to the bank

Mick, I am saying the compo is right. I'm not talking about the GC.

In all seriousness, how many players can the GC have on their list?

Below is a link to a list of players that are under contract for 2011 or will be under contract for 2011 (note, some players are players about to be selected in the National Draft). Just how many spots do they have for uncontracted players, as well as actual draft selections? So far they apparently have 34 under contract (this includes Day/Bennell/Swallow who have not been drafted yet) and still have to make a good 10+ draft selection after that. Are they building a football club or a freakin army??

Wiki can always be a sketchy source, just interested to know how hypothetically how many players the GC team can sign for the senior/rookie lists?

IIRC 50 combined

Edit: initially, then it drops back to normal over 4-5 years (I think)

Jared Brennan and Josh Fraser to be announced as the last two senior players to be taken. Fraser as Collingwood's uncontracted player, Brennan in a trade.

Team's coming along OK now. Bock and Brown for defensive roles, Ablett, Rischitelli and D. Swallow in the midfield with Josh Fraser and that kid Smith as the rucks, Brennan can play forward, Krakouer and Harbrow give run off half back and Karmichael Hunt to stand there and attract attention. Throw in some high quality draft picks and they'll be OK in 2011.

Massive, massive winners in trade week this week and many more years to come.

Plus the added bonus of Cloke "potentially" still on the table

They might not be laughing that loudly now that they've traded the Campbell Brown compensation pick for David Hale. That's an All Australian premiership player who was a team regular in 2010 for a slow beanpole who spent half of 2010 as the second string ruckman to a 28 year old who's never been on any AFL team's list in the past.

Worth noting that the Suns have also signed Joel Wilkinson as a zone selection.

Absolutely dominated the athletic tests at the Draft Combine.

Could be anything (but probably wasn't going to go until the 2nd round).

Bastards.

And they delist 2 ruckman at the same time. If Renouf or Hale go down they are screwed. Moreso if the former goes down.

Thank christ they arn't running our FD.

When do the freebies end? Talk about the royal treatment!

I'm concerned a monster is being created. I'm concerned this Frankenstein is going to rise at an inconvenient time for us.

I hate that this plug and play culturless afterthought of an AFL club is going to be a mojor threat to what could rightfully be ours. How many heartbreaks have they had?

MFCSS kicking in. ;)

Just wait until it's a full moon. The freebies end when the salary cap comes back into line with the existing clubs. ~5 years ??

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
