The Trade/Draft Rumour Mill

[Machsy 2,858]

Don't know who this "Janesch" guy is that people keep posting about...

But Jaensch from Adelaide is rumoured to be in talks with MFC.

[Machsy 2,858]

Denham on SEN thinks(?) that Sylvia is gone from Melbourne will almost certainly be somewhere else next year, Freo or Essendon seem to be the front runners.

He also said he wouldn't blame him due to the lack of success we've had and this is the most disturbing part of it; it seems as if the media regard clubs like Melbourne as feeders for the more successful clubs, we train them up and then they get picked up by clubs challenging and looking to fill a spot on the ground.

Train them up... for 10 years?!

I couldn't care less what the media think.

The media would've thought the same of Port and GC last year, but the wheel is turning.

This train of thought will disappear once we start to WIN consistently for the first time in a long time.

Winning will fix a lot of the problems.

Is he any good? Is he a mid?

small forward

Janesch is an elite kick.

A bit maligned by AFC fans and got dropped a bit this year.

His kicking is a weapon though.

It think he's half back/ half forward flanker type player.

Another Strauss?

I have been told (given crap about) Sylvia now a done deal at West Coke Eagles.

My Smug mate (collingwood Supporter - Enough said) was quite happy with the fact he "Knew" Sylvia was gone on a 2 year contract for 1.2M

I know its only a Rumour but 1.2M is a lot isnt it for Sylvia?

[markc 975]

the compo for losing a player should be based on more the position of the teams , so for a bottom team losing a player to a top team should get more than a top team would recieve

this has to be taken into account or as others have said the bottom teams will all be feeder teams to the top group with money !

yes

[Machsy 2,858]

2010 rookie draft from Sturt, originally from Hahndorf SA, played 45 games, kicked 18 goals.

182cm / 80kg. 24yo. HFF or FP.

Played approx 11 games in each of the last 3 years - fringe player.

[Machsy 2,858]

Sorry, Matt JAENSCH, that is.

Not Janesch, for the cretins.

[Gorgoroth 12,921]

The more they pay him the better for us

My understanding was that it is band compo which goes after the club's pick in that round. So yes, it is based upon the ladder position of the club losing the player. I wonder if there should be a compo factor included re the ladder position of the club receiving the FA. That way there is less incentive for a high club feeding off a lower club.

It is taken into account, by virtue of the compo pick being after your normal pick.

Therefore teams higher on the ladder get a later pick.

e.g. Franklin getting band 1 compo for Hawks would be approx pick 17, while Sylvia getting band 3 compo for MFC would be approx pick 21.

Compo is never as good as the market value of what you are losing.

[DemonOX 8,783]

small forward

Do we need that type of player more than a mid?

[IvanBartul13 2,564]

Jaensch is a small defender with good kicking skills - is a retrained forward a la Terlich

I think Strauss should be given one more year to get into it.
