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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
