Do the MFC get 2 first rounders for compensation? Will they be 2 end of first round mid first round?

Would the team with pick 1 in the 2012 draft consider trading 3 first round picks for the number one pick and MFC pick up Jack Viney with it's second round pick?

    One mid first round and one pick immediately after MFC's first-round pick.

    Interesting. We may be after an under 17 pick from GWS though.

    According to Channel 10 sport, the AFL just announced we will get 2 first rounders as compensation. Um, 1 and 2 please.

    Trade them both to St.Kilda for Goddard.

    So if we say finish 8th next year what picks would we get?

  • Quote

    Let's tank and get pick 1 again.

    Because number 1 is a guaranteed keeper... wait, what?

    Haven't we learnt anything?

    If we tank again, we are done. We will be the undisputed joke of the competition- and it will be deserved!

    Any teams want to trade an experienced leader for two high draft picks in a compromised draft?

    The club has immense potential to bring in someone considerable. Look at teams like Freo, St. Kilda, Doggies. We can fill some current voids on our side with experienced players.

    + Ross Lyon = flag within 3 years.

    Do it Dees.

    Assuming no other team activates their own compensation picks, and Gold Coast don't get a PP:

    - Pick 11 (mid first rd pick compo)

    - Pick 12 (for finishing 8th)

    - Pick 13 (first rd pick compo which comes after our 1st pick)

    Think this is how it works, assuming mid first rd pick comes after all other team's picks who don't make finals...

    I'd like to suggest we go harder @ the AFL demanding we get better, the first pick of 2012 to replace our priority pick, + another

    You know the Blues & the Pies would, as did the Cats.

    Confirmed on AFL Website two first round picks we will come out the winner here, provided we use them wisely. We must leave them to 2012 though.

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/123357/default.aspx

    If we finish near the bottom next year, which I expect we will, we could finish up with, say pick 3 & 4 or picks 4 & 5 plus a pick at the end of the first round in 2012. That would be harder to predict as other clubs will be using their delayed compo picks in that year. But if the draft is as good as is expected we could have three top picks in the top 20, not sure if we will have to use one on Jack Viney but if we do it will be the last one in the first round, if not we get him as well.

    You little beauty.

    Hope MFC gets aggressive with these compo picks but remember that they can be used anytime within the next 5 years, therefore won't necessarily have to be used in a compromised draft.

    Looks like any club with a comp pick will probably look to use in next year, though, as is meant to be a bumper draft. This in itself could devalue them if WB, Ade, Fre, Gee, GC etc all look to use their compo picks in the same 2012 draft.

    I like the idea of keeping one for 2012 but looking to trade another to either bring in an experienced mid, or get our hands on a pick in the mini-draft (probably accompanied by a player).

    Tom who? Seriously, forgotten about the kid already. As I'm sure most here have now.

    do the doggie supporters feel duped now? compo for us was had to be bigger- given the #1 tag that accompanied the forgotten man. What did doggies get for Ward?

    Still think we deserve more.

    Cameron Schwab seems to reckon we will get compensation picks for "What's his face" that are along the the lines of what the Cats got for Gary Ablett - Hope he's right - thought he was quite impressive at the Melbourne press conferance btw - Our Club has shown a lot of class throughout this whole sorry saga and I'm quite proud of how we've handled it .

    We were in a no win situation for most of the year and right at the end we could come out way on top esp if "Prima Donna Tom" has a shortened career due to his degenerative knee - I'll bet any money he reads these threads so we should let him have it !

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
