Could Someone please tell me what pick we would have if the season were to finish now

Also if someone could give the breakdown of what picks GWS get (basically a full run-down of the draft)

that would be fantastic.

I think GWS get something like 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15. Something Hideous like that!! i heard Shifter Sheahan talk about it all on SEN a few weeks back.

GWS get the same concessions, I'm pretty sure, which is picks 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and the first pick of every round afterwards.

So as it currently stands, we are in line for pick 19.

Edit: Dammit, ninja'd. And Satan, compensation is decided by...someone I don't know of, but basically there's tiers - first-round pick, end-of-first-round pick, second-round pick, end-of-second-round pick or third-round pick. For the picks not at the end of the round, that pick comes instantly after your pick in that round - e.g. if we finished 8th (pick 19) and used a first-round compensation pick (hypothetically, we currently don't have one) then it would be pick 20, and every pick below us would be pushed back one. So if you finished bottom of the ladder with pick 1, and had a first-round compensation pick, you have the new Scullgove twins. :)

Would be nice if we could ship out a player (Bate?) to GWS + our first pick for a better pick.

Bate + pick 19 to GWS, pick 5 to Melbourne.

Me gusta.

No matter what happens with you know who, our club should lobby the AFL to ensure that any team which loses a #1 draft selection would be compensated with the first pick in this year's draft. That's a lot fairer than having such a player stolen by GWS for pick 17!

The response I'll see from the AFL is that if they had to match Tom Scully as a number one pick then they'd have to match Watts, then Kreuzer, Gibbs, Murphy, Deledio and so on. Where would the cutoff be?

From a realistic and common sense point of view it's unfair not to receive the first pick in the event that he left, but from an AFL point of view, it's unfair to give us the first pick.

If the player hasnt ended his first contract after being taken at that pick, simple

The AFL point of view should be to protect the integrity of the competition and not to create conditions under which it is well nigh impossible for a club to retain an outstanding player aged under 21.

So there you have my cut off if you like. The players you cite are all over 21 and have all given their clubs more than two years' service. In my view, it's absolutely unconscionable that a situation should be allowed to arise whereby there is even a question of uncertainty about the future of a player of top calibre at such a young age.

If the AFL decided to compensate TS for pick 1, I wonder if GWS would abandon the deal.

Good luck trying to get the AFL to agree to anything that disadvantages GWS. Won't happen.

Pisses me off that our own CEO supported this rubbish when clubs were being questioned about draft picks and compensation levels for GC/GWS!

Surely it'd be like all other compensation picks, in that it can be used in any of the next 5 years, but if you use it this year you'd have to wait until GWS had their picks.

I can't see why they would care - it's not their pick.

The very fact that the club hasn't (publicly at least) lobbied the AFL is a positive sign.

He is saying "if we don't get the first pick in the draft then Scully isn't worth it."

Doesn't hold much water for mine, being pushed back a place is nothing - the talent you are going to get is going to be good anyway...

Whereas if you recall last year, Geelong did come out at some stage with concerns about the compensation "IF" they did lose Ablett to GC.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
