WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BERNIE VINCE

Featured Replies

Is it today clubs find out what compo picks they receive?

I believe so.

 

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

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

Edited by Powell

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.

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


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?

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
