Trade Bait

The picks we get for them leaving can be traded which will be the same value.

I believe we get compensation picks for Unrestricted

I think you will be surprised at how low the compensation will be.

The formula involves the wage at their new club and games played the previous couple of years and IIRC possibly B+F finishes.

It won't be much.

The formula is an AFL secret, just like the PP formula is now a secret too.

Yeah, but I could have sworn I saw an article where the discussed some parameters...

IIRC, when HWFUA was on his way to Breakfast Point there was some discussion in the papers about why we got such a good deal (only good because we are crap this year) and it surrounded wage, past effort, importance to last seasons efforts, (draft position was taken into consideration but surely won't with RFA and UFA) etc.

Tapscott for Caddy

I'm not sure what the fuss is about Caddy. Why would we trade Tapscott for the 5th or 6th best player in a wooden spoon side. FFS, he had 11 possessions against us on Sunday. I'd need to be convinced he was running on one leg to excuse that performance. I'd rather have the grunt of Tapscott. At least he knows how to make the opposition nervous.

The FA compensation is not based on the same formula as the GWS OOC compensation.

Totally agree, there are quite a few we should be looking at before Caddy.

People are massively overrating this guy... he has had one or two good games this year, no more.

Yes, but they would have to be similar.

Me too Crawf52

I saw nothing on sunday to get excited about.

If he is worth what some people are claiming why do we think GCS would hand him over.

if he is that good they will want to keep him

Neeld's modus operandi appears to be contested ball. So I'd imagine he would look very closely at trading Bennell, Morton, Watts, Martin, Jurrah and Davey. Then there are guys such as Petterd, that have some currency.

jones would totes get the deal done for caddy, but bugger that, keep jones!

Wouldn't even be top 10 at GC. A lot of hype without much to show for it.

My opinion of who we will want to get rid off and what I think they are worth.

BATE Mid 3rd round draft pick or will be delisted but will take what we are offered

BENNELL early 3rd round draft pick or we will keep.

PETTERD mid 3rd round to early 4th round but will take what we get(I really hate to say that)

MORTON Mid 3rd round hopefully or possible part of a trade but will take anything.

LAWRENCE delist

Bail delist

Joel MACDONALD early 3rd round or part of a trade package otherwise keep.

GREEN retired

So that is 6 off the list at least to allow for draftees.

names I think we would consider as part of major trading as part of getting a big name

SYLVIA

MAGNA

MOLONEY

SYLVIA

Now my opinion on a few that this thread have bagged.

TAPSCOTT - he and viney in 3 years will be the same as selwood and chappy.

And DUNN will stay as although not overly talented he can be given a job when we are lacking and will do a half reasonable job at either end of the ground.

Mitsubishi?

Seriously, I, too, think that Dunn is worth keeping. Can be coached to do a job.

I think bail could attract some value, if only coupled with one of our picks for a better pick

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
