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.

    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.

    I remember that time well

    ... except Redleg was drafted by the Viet Cong! :lol:

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
