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.

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.

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.

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

... 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
