or ?

we get pick 3 from afl

hawthorn just lose pick 17 (to nobody)

We get Dangerfield next year, the Crows get Pick 12 and we lose Pick 4.

The Pies get Dangerfield's equivalent next year, the Crows get Pick 12 and the Pies lose Pick 10.

The teams down the bottom will be punished more in this scenario. I don't like it at all.

that's true, but that could easily be tweaked based on "equalisation" principles

anyway, as it stands now if he waits for fa we will have buckley's chance.

some top side will find the money, offer finals chances and not give up a skerrick

also if we want him now it will cost more than a pick 4 (which incidentally he is worth)

i blame 186................................and jack watts..............................................and cam schwabb...............................and

as you should.

Jack Watts may survive..

Only gets better for hawks... O'rourke from gws pick 2 in 2012 nominates them as the club he wants to be traded to....

Guide to writing like WYL...

Start off with one, two maximum, negative sentences with statements using hyperboles.

"Vlad was a very poor Leader of a very big and popular organization...Those who thought he was wonderful may now realize otherwise."

(who has thought he was wonderful??)

<Insert obvious statements>

We have picks 2-3 this year...They just have to be used correctly...We must draft in 2 or 3 absolute guns... We simply must get out of the bottom 4 clubs...Frawley was a bargain for Whorethorn, so was Lake."

(nar I think we are going to try and use pick 2 and 3 on Tambling)

<Insert personal opinion which doesn't really add value>

"i never rated Chip as highly as others on here"

(cool story Hansel)

Abruptly, and without segue, go straight into Cam Schwab, previous admin or 186 - sometimes all if it's a bad day.

"This situation is the fault of the previous CEO and his template the club worked from"

(I also heard Schwab is responsible for taxes, Myki and WWII)

Add another dig/irrelevant statement

"CS was just so far off the mark it is laughable."

(off the mark on what exactly about free agency WYL?)

Conclude with a completely off topic, obvious statement which doesn't add any value.

"The MFC can climb but if we keep blowing draft chances it will not happen...All of our high draft picks up to 2012 have been average at best and mostly VFL standard, which is appalling.

They all have a year to prove themselves in my opinion."

(I thought Tambling was supposed to save us?)

So what is your opinion of the last 8 years mate?

Think what you like about mine.

But they haven't changed...

Yes, get a membership and you want see ads.

As an aside, the site doesn't control the ads. The ads are controlled by you, they troll through your search history to give targeted advertising - I see Masters and Bunnings ads everywhere because I recently bought pretty much everything they sell.

I need a power sander...

Seriously, wasn't FA meant to help players who "weren't getting an opportunity" at their current club.

Every FA movement so far seems to have been a good player who was on good coin who was playing 22 games a year.

Not like they were being denied the chance to play.

There's a lot wrong with FA and it's making the game worse.

The compensation rules are horrendous. They don't take into account the single biggest factor about FA, and that's the hole the player leaves behind. Using the player's age is ridiculous, it seems to assume that the older you get the less value you have to a side. Rubbish.

The watering down of compensation based on your net gains/losses is another joke and punishes the weaker sides.

I understand that free agency can help plenty of players get more out of what are necessarily short careers. But it does more harm than good if the end result is that the AFL becomes a 6-club competition. FA cannot stand as it does and must be changed.

Well let's face it the club was run by over paid clowns with no idea of who to recruit, how to develop players or how to build a competitive team. Other than those deficiencies they were not that bad but then again we managed to pi55 off major sponsors and attract others who didn't pay and had to be jettisoned. I am looking for positives here but I haven't found one I am afraid. You could have picked 4 or 5 people randomly off the street, put them in MFC management positions, paid them peanuts and they would not have delivered less. I am not including Bailey in this who had his failings but tried his best only to be brought down by 186 and the Board.

well if it is up to evans to fix it you can be sure it will just get worse
