Free Agency Compensation

The point that a few seem unable to grasp, is that a small fish in a smaller pond, seems proportionally more important than a medium size fish in a whirlpool. This is where Colin has been living. Let me put it in plainer terms, the damage done to Melbourne by Colin leaving is greater than the damage done to Colliewobbles for Daisy leaving, they will be able to cover the loss, Melb less likely so, therefore (ipso facto) CS is a more important player (not better) than Daisy.

You have come from a different angle but I think we end up in the same place. Daisy equals Col in terms of compensation taking into account our different situations. Tha AFl formula should be able to handle this. Again I say it is very difficult to shine consistently in a bottom side but it is eaier to shine in a dominant team.

    Hoody I will agree to meet you there as 50/50, but I don't think Vlad and the boys will see it that way

    I think compensation picks should be determined by a complete and comprehensive player ranking system; probably averaged over 2 seasons. The result would be that all clubs going into the trade/free agency period will know what a players ranking is, based on his industry value, and what the compensation for losing him will be.

    Ranking players could easily be done by compiling results from the Brownlow Medal count, AFLPA MVP Award, Club B&F Awards etc. etc. and then (of course) debated by one of those 'old-has-been' committees the AFL likes to set up.....just kidding.

    Seriously, this system does not need to 'split hairs' to provide and 'absolute' ranking but would probably determine that several players end up being ranked the same. (like several golfers finishing in equal position).

    Ultimately whatever 'awards' are used I believe the result will end up pretty much the same.

    The hard part is not working out a players ranking but what losing him is worth to a club in compensation.

    Personally I think that compensation should be his ranking minus one pick. eg. Gary Ablett (ranked No.1) leaves GWS. GWS receive pick 2 as compensation. For Col this might be.....equally ranked 25 so MFC receive pick 26.

    I think it is imperative that clubs know the 'market value' and therefore the 'Draft Value' of each player going into the Free Agency period.

    Go Dees

    Sylvia for pick 23, that's generous!

    I don' understand if a 2ndRnd FA Compo pick follows your 2ndRnd Pick, how is it that the saints who finished above us on the ladder got P22 for DelS', & we get P23 for Sylv'?

    Wasn't our 2ndRnd Pick before the Saints 2ndRnd Pick?

    I think it is just bad maths.

    I will investigate but Band 2 should be Pick 20 for Dal Santo.

    It's an error in the article.

    They got the same as us - Band 3. Pick 25.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
