Facebook page rumour saying GC has tabled 800k * 6 yr deal for Frawley due to cap space from Carmichael Hunt leaving.

certainly higher than the Cats deal ( well the info I was given anyways )

good

 

If he goes for $800k, that is an absolute steal for us in that we're getting a top 10 pick for him (MASSIVE steal because we wouldn't get that in a trade), and some other club is paying MASSIVE overs for him.

I hope he goes somewhere for between $700k-$800k.

We will get top compo.

Frawley will be going for a fair quid. Clubs don't have to give up a pick, so the incentive is there.

Clubs will pay that extra coin, otherwise they'll be without, their premiership hopes could rest heavily on recruiting a KP backman.

19.2 Special Assistance

(a) At the conclusion of the Home and Away Matches in each Football Year, the Commission may determine in its absolute discretion that a Club is entitled to one or more priority selections at the next occurring National Draft Selection Meeting. Such right to one or more priority draft selections shall be exercisable during the Draft as directed by the Commission


(b) The Commission will exercise its discretion under this Rule 19 only in exceptional circumstances taking into account a recommendation from the AFL Executive, the recent on field performance of a Club and any other matter the Commission in its absolute discretion regards relevant.


Oh... I see what he's done there we're asking for a priority SELECTION.

Wally Lock?

A great Demon premiership player who was unlucky enough to play in only one winning grand final (missing three others due to injury).

Don't even dare to mention the name in the same breath as Evans.

Also, if Vlad was around he would have impaled the bloke by now for playing those games. It's an absolute disgrace and I hope PJ diplomatically makes his displeasure known.

The AFL has certain criteria to apply - if we don't qualify on the basis of those criteria, then so be it. If we do qualify (and I think the case for is unimpeachable) then let us have the pick. It's a drop in the ocean compared to what the AFL handed out to GCS and GWS and the rule has to remain to help clubs that are genuinely in trouble.

Wally Lock is a relative,

Decision on this is due on the Monday before the Brownlow count?

One or more priority selections.

"The winner of the Brownlow ofr 2014 is......... and by the way teh MFC has been award a assistance selection prior to commencement of round 2 picks .......to Gary ......." :rolleyes::unsure::)

Yep. They pay him more because they can use a pick on a cheap top quality player. Signing free agents is the best deal ever, you just have to convince them to come and not do a Melbourne (and Carlton) and screw your compensation.

Not if Mark Evans can make his case to the Commission of Drones. Expect plenty of vision of Port Adelaide before and after in the presentation to show the Drones that a club's form can be turned around in the blink of an eye. No need for any help move on.

It was always documented as special assistance, not a 'priority selection'. As has been said previously, this is most likely in the form of extra $$$ to fund the FD. I wouldn't be getting your hopes up about a pick.

Melbourne should definitely get Tier 1 compensation for Frawley, even if he takes the 3rd or 4th best offer out there.

That's good possibly they can let it through to the keeper in a Brownlow/GF week


Would be golden, appropriate and i believe not particularly begrudged but Other AFL fans for us to a special assistance pick in first round for loss of Clark, 7 years of misery, rebuilding against expansion teams etc, ... , etc ...

With picks 2 , 3, 4 we'd recover from being plundered for chip and itch, and able to set up some momentum to ensure 2015 brings some excitement to the lives of us long suffering MFC fans.

Dream on, wont happen but I agree it probably should. But even with those picks there would be no guarantees of success, refer to GWS. We are facing a climb like Everist I am afraid.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
