Free Agency Compensation

Featured Replies

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: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
