Boss dog is not correct. It will be judged by the difference.

Correct. That is why I disagree with RPFC. My understanding is that they tally up what you lost and subtract what you gained and you are given a pick at the value of the difference. Maybe I have got it wrong though.

Who was the last premiership player we had on our list? Dual premiership player I might add. He's an exemplary character with a strong work ethic coming out of the best team in the current era. He

He is no star, but he is I mature player from a successful club that fills a role we can't currently fill. This is what free agency should be like.

What about if we lost 3 players at a medium band and got none, I don't think that losing Moloney, Bate, and Dunn should net us Pick 5 just because we bombed out in getting any FAs.

What ever the case may be I hope the AFL hasn't left it to be a complete mystery to the clubs too because how the formula is calculated will impact the decisions we make.

For example if we lost rivers and moloney and that netted a top level pick (if it is cumulative) but wanted to pick up Byrnes what impact would that have? If it took our compensation from a pick after our to a pick in a round to a pick at the end of the round we might choose to trade for him instead so he's not included in the calculations.

They may keep it secret to try and stop clubs from trying to manipulate it like that.

This is what I was after, so we will have some information on which to base our decisions.

However it's still not known if its cumulative.

Late comment in an overlong thread regarding a good ordinary footballer who was part of a champion team and played his role.

Saw him play in Shepp, saw him him in the grannies and good luck to him. Played to the best of his abilities and got the rewards.

His time is over and we'd be stupid to even consider picking him up.

Yeah maybe he can show them how it's done at Casey seeing he had such a stellar year in the magoos at Geelong.

I think you might find that Geelong's main list is just a tad stronger than ours and therefore possibly a little harder to break into... and correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't their magoos do reasonably well? We need experience, skill and pace and they are three things he does bring with him as well as a desire to play for our club.

Tell me who you would rather have that we could realistically convince to come to our club during this free agency period.

No disrespect to Shannon. I wish him well, for his sake and ours. But meh.

Ah is is just so great for us to have so many really positive true supporters.

So, he may not have been able to break into the strong Cats team, but he is renowned as a hard worker and has big match experience, so should add to the MFC lineup.

But there is no pleasing some folk.

And welcome Shannon - we are not all negative tossers by the way.

It was tweeted that "Byrnes is off to do Kokoda in his off season in preparation for the season ahead".. hope he brings the same sort of driven attitude to the field.

I really hope that the increased responsibility he will take on at his new club will translate into good form. He is more than capable of playing smart and skilled footy.

He is a great bloke and will add to immediately to the character of the playing group.

Will be a better pick up than many think.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
