    No they won't.

    Look up the rules.

    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.

    For the moment in the OP for Jarrod Harbrow (now confirmed Suns bound player (uncontracted) ) I have put end of 1st round as compensation. Can someone confirm if this is correct ?

  • Quote

    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 will provide the GC with some much needed grunt. Whilst not in their best players, his toughness will be sorely missed next year.

    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.

    who = Brad Miller?? Lol.

    I think they'll also shortly announce Ablett ©, with Bock and Brown (joint vc's)

    Err...Ablett?

    Seems also like Brennan will be traded to the Suns for one of their top 10 picks.

    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.

  • Quote

    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?

    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 ??

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
