When do we find out what pick we get?

Apparently late today earlier tomorrow.

    I have to shake my head at the AFL not releasing the compensation result until 5pm or later. This is like the twit recruiters who sit there for the full five minutes wondering who they'll pick at #2. Inept.

    Exactly it should be done straight away. Just plug the numbers into the formula.

    I think they would find it easier if the formula wasn't pulling a number out of their collective backside. There's very little transparency, and they seem to like to have the wriggle room to chop and change as they see fit.

    Apparently they need to check the contract before making the call on compensation.

    Frawley deal only 4 years according to Hawthorn's list manager.

    I'm worried

    Higgins got four years at $400k. Doggies received 2nd bad compensation. I would assume Frawley is on 4 years @ 600. Will this get us over the line as 1st band compensation?

    I am sad.

    Yet again, a senior player has decided after 8 or so seasons that we aren't worth the bother of trying to turn around.

    I know we will get compensated handsomely but a bunch of blokes who should have been 1 club players (Beamer, Col, Riv and now Chip) will finish their careers elsewhere like Stan Alves and Greg Wells to get the success they could never get at our club. That being said, this will probably only apply to Riv and Chip as Col is probably not going to get a game in Freo's firsts and Beamer lasted a season and a half at Brisbane.

    I don't feel bitterness towards Chip but I feel sad at what our club has become and that we have yet to have our 'Travis Boak' moment

    Beamer was a THREE club player.

    Pick 3 for a 4 year deal James has really screwed Melbourne over here. I can not see band 1 for a 4 year deal even with 500 to 550 a year

    People forget, it's not purely a money related thing.. It's age, player profile, achievements etc. we're losing the only All Australian player on our list.. We'll be compensated fairly, even if 17 other clubs sook about it.

    I suspect that if there is a clause for a 5th year based upon performance criteria, it would have to be factored into the total contract amount. Doesn't player age have something to do with it as well?

    Age does have something to do with it and I feel the AFL looks at how crucial the player was to the teams line up and they will consider that an AA full back for a struggling club is definitely worthy of a band 1.

    Yes, plug it into the "formula"

    An AA Full back that played as a key forward this year.

    no they didn't. they got band 3 compensation (2nd round pick). Band 2 is end of round 1.

    I would think..JUST !!! ( and yes if its as I suspect really a camouflaged pseudo semi assistance pick )

    I was thinking the same ....re that 5th year. Age is very much a factor ( if they want it to be that is .... :rolleyes: )

    Sorry, band 3.

  • Quote

    I am bracing for band 2. But hoping a deal was struck when the priority pick was declined.

    Not quite true, we still have Jamar. But I'm not surprised that no one remebers he was an AA ruck one year.

    Dale Thomas had a 4 year deal on 2.5mill with a 5th year trigger, same as this filthy [censored]. Must be band 1.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
