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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
