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.

    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

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
