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 )

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.

  • 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 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.
