As rpfc pointed out above, Adrian Anderson was quoted by Jon Pierik in the Age - Saints in the dark over Goddard plans:-

''We confirm that the compensation formula will produce a points rating for players based on two factors:

1) new contract of the free agent and

2) age of the free agent.

''Draft picks will be allocated to clubs based on the net total points for free agents lost and gained during the transfer period. Draft picks will be allocated to one of five places: first round, end first round, second round, end of second round and third round.''

The criteria are very simple in the case of the compo for Moloney/Byrnes. They are both of similar age and therefore the only aspect that comes into play between Moloney/Byrnes on the matter of compensation is what they are going to be paid and the length of their contracts.

WJ i respectfully suggest no one , yourself included , knows what weight is given to any component of the supposed criteria.

In reality its as much made up as formulated. Why was pa given two and no other team

Theirs seems ajudged significantly different .

Its all so bogus. Im with Red, dumbfounded, bemused and concerned at the chicanery.

Why hasn't the AFL released the criteria for awarding picks and I mean the real detail? In other words how many dollars change the level of compo. What is $500k worth, what is $1m worth, what is $1.5m and so on.

It is all a big secret.

Byrnes worth nothing to Cats in compo, somehow negates all of Moloney's compo to us. How did that happen? What were the criteria used to come to that decision? Surely deducting Byrnes from Moloney leaves a balance in our favour. How is it when that is added to Rivers you still get a single pick at the worst band of compo. How are Young and Murphy only worth pick 66. Young would be on very good money to leave the Hawks.

The AFL's lack of transparency in these types of decisions, leaves it open to criticism and they couldn't care less. If the media weren't up their arse, the real questions would be asked.

If you think about that is the club's fault. I think by the end most of us knew that Moloney's compensation would be negated by acquiring Byrnes. We should have done what Port Adelaide have done and actually thought about it and decided to trade for Byrnes instead of using free agency.

Clubs queueing up to get Moloney and a massive contract bidding war I must've missed?

No UFAs were traded. Monfries was RFA. The distinction matters because it gives the home club some rights to hold the player.

UFA has none. I believe that it was not possible to trade for Byrnes.

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
