I now understand what tha FA in front of the word compensation means.

Swings & Roundabouts. We got Viney @ 26!!! Move on

This raises an interesting concern. Players leaving unsuccessful clubs to experience success (perhaps at lower wages) will give their old club (which probably needs all the help it can get) crappy pic

Thanks. I guess if we get pick 27 we have done pretty well. I also agree with you that pick 58 should be enough to get pederson from north considering they let Mckintosh go for 35ish was it? That then gives us 4 and 27 in the draft.

And a little timid fella at 26.

Haha yeah of course I don't count JV in the draft now he is officially a Melbourne player.

Yes, but he does count toward the three players that have to be taken in the draft.

So do rookie elevations too I believe...

Port has lost two important 26 year olds to 4 year deals. That's about 8 years of service from two B Grade players.

Poor clubs need to be looked after. They should receive pick 8 as compensation.

If we receive any more than an end of 2nd round pick (42 odd) then that's a win.

The dees should have played it smarter with Byrnes and traded a late pick for him, like port with monfries. Didn't need to rush into Byrnes with the Geelong list as tight for spots as it is. This, and talking to collingwood about Dawes for pick 13, are the two blunders from the MFC this trade period.

The only thing this thread demonstrates is the subjective, farcical nature of the way this process has been thought through and will shortly be implemented. Or as Damien Barratt would say "Rules on the run".

All for compensation but Port shouldn't get Pick 8. That is absurd.

Find a club that will trade pick 8 for Pearce and Chaplin, call the MFC and strongly urge them to spend the next week dealing with this team.

What time tonight can we expect afl to announce compo picks?

6pm apparently.

But that won't stop Damian "It's understood" Barrett from saying some nonsense with The List Manager (Wallace) from 3 to 5.

It's funny how Wallace gets that moniker when he was apart of the greatest list disaster this side of ours...

I think we will get a early-mid 2nd rnd as our compo pick for rivers (27-35). I'd say Brynes and Moloney will cancel each other out but considering moloney won or B/F in 2011 that may push his value up so we may get another pick (late 40's?)

Yeah never been a fan of self-imposed nicknames, his is an absolute shocker.

Pick 8 for Port is overs (I think a mid first round would be right if it was available), but I think they should be looked after.

They've been robbed of their best outside midfielder and their centre half back while they're in their prime. If Jones and Tom McDonald continue as they did this year and become good B Grade AFL players I would be livid if they were picked up by someone for free when they hit 26, and all we got back is two second round picks.

As for the trade value argument, that is completely irrelevant. Geelong would not have given you pick 40 for Rivers, Essendon wouldn't have given pick 10 for Goddard. It has nothing to do with trade value.

Wallace and Barrett on TWR are confused as anything about what is going on.

The MINIMUM given for a FA leaving is a 3rd round and Wallace said he wouldn't give anything for Murphy leaving the Hawks.

And they don't know whether there is bundling allowed in compensation - but Wallace seems to think there is.

Pick 8 for Chaplin and Pearce Terry? Really?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
