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

Seems a bit light on to me ...

That is the way TWR twitter account put it. Odd way of describing it...

That will be about Pick 50. With Pick 58 turning into about 63.

    Young's value tanked in the grand final the moment he tripped over in the goal square and gifted Sydney a crucial goal.

    Teams will probably not worry about trying to hold off on signing players in future scared of losing a pick. The picks on offer suck. We did better than the hawks though I'm happy about that.

    You have to wonder why the AFL brought in so-called "free agency", when there's clearly so little benefit in it for the clubs. We would have been better just trading those players ... surely we could have done better than pick 49 (or whatever it is) for Rivers?

    Anyway, as others have mentioned, one of these 50ish picks will be used for Pedersen and he'll be a telling player for the MFC.

    Absolutely in terms of the quality of player, but it comes down to contract length and monetary value.

    Chaplin signed a four year deal on good coin; Riv a 2 year deal on lesser money per year.

    So Chaplin is 'worth' more.

    I expected a bit more but the AFL did warn clubs not to expect like for like compensation. I reckon Pedersen will now be ours.

    Melbourne's terrible 3rd round compo for Rivers/Moloney shows they must be on modest contracts at Cats/Lions. Cash/age determines compo pick"

    That's it. Spewing.

    In hindsight, we should have given Geelong a pick in the 60's or 70's for Byrnes. At least we then would have gotten a better pick for the other two.

    It would have only netted us the lowest pick possible a 3rd rounder approx 50, due to picks not compounding

    Hawthorn and MFC have been absolutley screwed IMO by this result. There is no way in the world that if Young and Rivers were traded, that you would get anywhere as bad as the clubs received. I understand that it was not meant to be true value, but the Saints got that for Goddard and Port have been given a handout with 2 second round picks for 2 very average players.

    In our case it seems that a B & F winner of one year ago, who still played most of the games this year is equal to a bloke who played 6 games in the same period . That is an unmitigated joke. Then Rivers is pick 49.

    As a result we seem to have shot ourselves in the foot, by not trading for Byrnes with our final pick. That at least would have got us another pick about 49.

    Anyway what is done is done and we need to learn from it. I wonder if it is a message from the AFL to clubs to not worry about losing picks and just pick up FA's.

    I reckon the AFL, after receiving many a complaint for maximum compensation given to us for HWFUA (or whatever it is) defection, would have factored it in to our FA compensation. Sure they say that they are mutually exclusive, but that's a load of BS.

    Maybe they figured to let off some steam at us, since they found nothing to pin against us for the "tanking" debacle. The heads of the AFL have their own agenda to run, and no process within the AFL will ever be completely independent, given the ego's and power-hungry whores that are in charge of our game.

  • Quote

    We would have been lucky to get a second rounder, so a third rounder borders the poor end of our compensation.

    Would have liked more, will settle for less.

  • Quote

    So we have swapped Byrnes for Rivers and received pick 49 for Beemer.

    Something is out of whack there. But we were overcompensated for $$cully so I guess they are applying the 'swings and roundabouts' rule (retrospectively of course).

    The fact we were a bottom side probably didn't help altho Port did well .....hmmmmm...

    AFL adminstered Karma, eh? :huh: Bit of tautology really...but that won't stop AFL powerbrokers! At the risk of being blasphemous maybe they think they are the new Almighty: he who giveth, taketh away!

    They were very close to getting Russell under FA but held off for this exact reason. Watch them snare him as a delisted FA.

    I think the proposed formula based on contract sum leads to potential inequality of compensation.

    Say a player like Lake went to Hawthorn as a FA for less money, but the chance to win a flag, the dogs could get minimal compo.

    Whereas if Dawes was a FA & went there, but being a bottom 4 team, the doggies had to pay top dollar to entice a capable player from a contender, meaning Collingwood would get over-the-odds compo.

    The way it is set up, it works to preserve the balance of power.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
