So what happens if we get pick 38 for Sylvia compo and Adelaide say "nup not good enough?"

Could we potentially chuck a player at them instead or as well as?

Pick 38, Tapscott for Vince and Lyons?

Just spit ballin' here.

Ive always thought Sylvia would be band 4 but theres every possibility in the arbitrary formula and thinking of Vlad inc that we might yet still snag pick 23 ( or whatever).

I think the club already knows the compo's value. my gut feeling (or last nights curry )

If the club was dead keen on Vince and didn't know what compo they were getting for Sylvia, surely they'd have waited until after 5pm today to enter into a trade with GWS.

I'm tipping that the pick 20 that we just gave GWS, will get used by them to trade for Bernie Vince.

Seeing it's also looking like we won't get a 20-25 pick for Sylvia.

It's not looking any more like that now than it was when Sylvia first went.

Assume you're talking about the Sylvia Compo? If so I agree based on Sylvia's actual value

Just basing it off Viney's suggestion of a compo attached to our now departed pick 20, and Adelaide's demands of a pick not less than 25 for Vince and a rumoured agreement between Adelaide & us reported today

The compo pick wasn't "attached" to our pick 20. The offloading of pick 20 has no bearing on where our compo pick will be.

Sylvia compo headed Crows' way Melbourne has agreed to trade the compensation pick it received for losing free agent Colin Sylvia to Adelaide in exchange for midfielder Bernie Vince, says The Advertiser. The pick is expected to fall at the start of the second round of the NAB AFL Draft, perhaps immediately after the Demons pick No. 20. If the pick is lower than 25, the Crows will, reportedly, accept the trade.

I believe based on the above the DEAL is done Regardless

Welcome Bernie Vince to the MFC :)

Perhaps a small misunderstanding here .

I know that - it was a suggestion that Viney made about what the club were hoping for band wise in compo for Sylvia.

My logic....We could have used p20 on Vince, now GWS has it, they are rumoured to be into him, and we don't have a high enough pick in the right range to satisfy Adelaide anymore (pick only)

The article says Adelaide will accept a deal IF the pick is lower than 25, which I assume to mean better than 25.

You sound confident, I hope you're right

Wouldn't want pick 9 involved

Posted

The trade agreement is for The pick we receive as compensation for the Loss of Sylvia

The agreement also says if the pick is lower than 25 they will still accept the deal

Pick 1 through to 25 are Higher picks than 25-30 etc

Therefore anything after pick 25 is a lower pick that is at least the way I understand it

and they have agreed to accept that regardless

This is a official post on the AFL website so I am fairly confident its a done deal .

If its not then blame Harry Thring not me :)

If we get a 21-25 pick for Sylvia....the AFL is Santa Claus and Christmas will come early this year for the Dees.

I am not saying we will, I am saying it will make no difference , it may be pick 38 but the agreement says the Crows will accept it regardless

at least that is the way I understand it maybe someone can ask the MFC :blink:

Oh well time will tell anyway , but as far as the MFC is concerned at the Moment with Roos and his Crew , I am happy as .............well you know :)

Jeez Harry you better be Right or they will string me up here :lol::lol:

Surely the AFL is aware that if we don't get the players that will make us competitive there won't be enough bums on seats when we play?

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
