Melbourne asks for draft assistance

Featured Replies

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 )

 

Bluey mckenna is a massive fan of chip frawley

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.

Yes, I believe thats the case.

maybe they can slip it in between

"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.

One or more priority selections.

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.

  • 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.
