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.

very little= NONE :huh:

its a sham....a con.... a political beast

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: )

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

Sorry, band 3.

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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
