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.

    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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
