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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
