Just to be a devil's advocate.....

Why wouldn't it be

Byrnes - Rivers = xxxxxxxxx and

Maloney = yyyyyyyy

You'd get different bands this way I'd guess

See thread on AFL FA Compo Manipulation.

    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...

    Wouldnt it be the other side of ours? has ours stopped has it?

    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.

    remember when everyone just got a pick based on the order they finished in? It's hard to believe how incredibly convoluted the draft system has become

  • Quote

    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.

    Terry Wallace said "To moi, Melbourne should get a third round selection but I think the AFL will give them a second rounder".

    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?

    now the waiting begins................

    Melbourne r3 pick for gaining Byrnes while losing Moloney/Rivers.

    Seems a bit light on to me ...

    So we get pick 49. Gives us 4, 49, 62 and 70. One of them will go for Pedersen I assume.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
