Agree on the injuries as I said it was a factor.

Hope you are right on the 16th, though I would gladly cop 17th right now. Picks 2 & 3 wow. Virtual guarantee that JV would not go until second round. Pick 2 and maybe Moloney or Bate could get us both Under 17 picks from GWS. They could have Whitfield and Grundy. We could get Toumpas. Pick 13 there for trading or using. Salivating stuff.

I thought Moloney and Bate were both free agents which means we cannot trade them and get nine tenths of nothing for them.

Or am I mistaken?

I am not sure. As an aside, what is an AFL club B & F winner in the last two years worth as compensation?

At Hawthorn I would imagine a hell of a lot more than at the Dees.

To be honest I have no idea how thy calculate the "compensation"

Based on past experience the AFL has probably not worked out a system yet.

They usually make up these things on the run.

As another aside how must Footscray feel they got one pick for their guy going to GWS and we got 2 picks.

Their guy is five times the player ours is!

At the moment they would be absolutely livid. Just ask Mark Stevens (Hun/Dog supporter) - he hasn't stopped writing about it - like a dog with a bone ! (snigger) !

He will keep on it at draft time, and forever more through Ward's career at a guess.

Justifiably so H_T

The Dogs got done something cronic

Or we got a great deal.

Probably both.

I'm thinking more the latter.

The size of the contract by GWS to Scully thanks to our clubs tabled offer tipped the compo scales in our favour.

H_T just remembered we are not supposed to discuss this person on here.

Not sure what our penance should be.

I will accept being banned from attending this weeks game

Ugh Bananas !

I think that is an adequate ban old dee. I'm going to Etihad to support the boys too, I'm sure some here would view that as enough punishment for mentioning his name in this thread.

We apologise Redleg !

Essentially, yes.

But we could say to Moloney that you have agreed this contract with Ess and we will match it with the intent to trade you so we can get something for you. BUT he has to agree to that, and Essendon have to be willing to trade. It's called a sign and trade in US sports.

No your punishment it to attend the game. I will be, it's called self flagellation.

OH No

Please how can you be so cruel.

Anything but that throw me in the briar patch please.

And now for more important matters, I just saw a banana in the fruit bowl and I think I will have it with my cereal for breakfast.

Oh come on, I know you are a masochist at heart. Wouldn't you love to watch another thrashing?

Well when you say it like that it is hard to resist.

But no I must serve out my punishment

Interesting, I was just reading some literature from the club and there was a little piece that caught my eye, which said, that we will most likely have picks 3, 4 & 13 in the draft and can draft 3 very good players. They are probably being realistic when they say what picks we will have, but it seemed to indicate our finishing position was accepted. Just thought that was a little unusual with 6 games to go.

PS. Hope they are right, though I would accept 17th. Now lets see, Grundy or Whitfield plus Toumpas and Martin in 2014 for pick 13 and say Moloney and Bate, with JV second round. Yes I could live with that.

Redleg I have never seen you worry so much about anything.

Will you please take confidence from my life long journey with the MFC.

WE are a lock for 16th or lower.

I wish I was as sure of the Tattslotto numbers tomorrow night.

Put down the glasses it is all over and there will be little shouting.

Redleg I have never seen you worry so much about anything.

You obviously weren't with me the day I was drafted, during the Vietnam War.

Really don't compare do they Redleg

I remember that time well

I never got drafted WJ and as a result never went .

Never marched to stop the war

But I have bad memories of those days.

Friends who suffered.

And the Dees were crap the whole time.

But I did meet my wife so not a total wash out.

I was called up in 1972...on my birthday no less! I was deferred because I was studying at Swinburne and then Gough got voted in later that year and National Service got voted out; can't say I was disappointed.

Geez Hardtack ,I never picked you for an old fella.

I've been to Nam twice as a tourist and I would never have survived the mozzies .

My wife is from Tay Ninh and her dad was "re-educated" for 3 years when the South lost .

Lovely people but the ice in the beer is really a post war crime.
