    Yep, they find out the compo picks this afternoon.

    This should be enteratining

    Knowing our luck compo pick will be after our first rounder now.

    Pick 3 for Vince. Aish to Crows

  • Quote

    What time this afternoon will the title of this thread change?

    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 )

    Silvia Comp + pick 36 = Vince+Lyons

    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.

    Vince might cost us for picks 37 and 38(Sylvia compo) with the crows third round pick to us.

  • Quote

    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

  • Quote

    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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
