Hopefully Leuie doesn't draw a high compo selection if/when he goes. I would've thought beginning of second round might his value at best. Pick 20.

He is 27 and I doubt he will get anything more than a 3 year deal. I'd say it will be 2nd round pick. Frawley was younger and got a longer contract which is why he got a 1st rounder.

They should just get rid of the PP. A team would basically have to be on it's last breath and probably too far gone to qualify for one, our denial is proof of that. Now we are on a better path NOW but jeez when we made our submission with Roos coming in as coach there had been few worse sides over the years. If they had given us some kind of carrot, an extra pick at the end of the first or second round they could've had something to go on.

Oh well moving on. Strange to see our first pick being anything above 4, happy to see it continue to climb!

They were never going to get a PP.

I don't know why so many here were fuming at the prospect. They had no chance.

Depends on what he gets paid at a new club.

And he certainly would be a huge risk for any club to invest some serious coin on

I think I read somewhere on big footy that he'd need to be paid near to 700k to ensure band 1 compo.

Leunberger will be lucky to pull in 500k. He can consider himself very lucky if any club is silly enough to offer that type of money to an injury riddled - and largely unproven - ruckman.

Had Kruezer gone , Carlton would have probably got a compo pick straight after 1st pick

Given he's failed more medicals than there are stars in the sky, Carlton have certainly come out the losers in that sliding doors scenario.

The Lions are going to be awful over the next few years, but they definitely didn't deserve a PP this year. After 2 or 3 more years of garbage, then give them one.

nope they need to be bad for 5 seasons i think they are at their lowest point now they would need to have less then 2 wins in a season for two years in a row, then maybe they can have one, if we could not get one after a 4 wins, then 2 wins then 4 wins in three seasons and then not get one, so two wins in a season did not deserve one then a team would need to win 1 game in a season before getting one, the AFL have set the bar very low too low.

Agreed

And by then it would risk pushing our first round pick from 18 to 19 :-))). (Dreams on.....)

Can u imagine if Carlton got a pp there would be serious question about Mic fitzpatrick, former Carlton great looking after his former club.

yep, & I wonder if the clubs ganged up on them, & didn't take 'k'reuzer off their hands, for similar reasoning ?

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street.
