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

    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.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
