Why don't the cats just offer up the next 5 years of first round picks for dusty? Surely the AFL can postpone a little longer?

I think you are being generous by calling it a "formula". I don't think there is much method to the madness.

It's interesting seeing the contrasting list development strategies between us and Port. They identify what they can pick up for free and work their game plan around that.We identify players that can play a set role for us and are willing to pay anything for them. Going to be interesting watching both teams through 2018.

big difference btw the two sides is the relative experience / age of the lists

port have a plethora of players aged 27-31 at the start of next season; if they're going to win a premiership, it should be in the next three to four years

we're more building with youth still - players aged 20-25 dominate our 'core players'

I see the AFL is helping Ablett get home by giving Geelong pick 19 as compensation for Motlop.

Forgive my ignorance, but when the AFL give out the compo picks, does that not take away from another club / mess with the pick order? Didn't someone 'own' pick 19?

Brisbane had 19 before the Motlop deal.

Yep, now they have pick 20. We originally had pick 27 but it is now pick 29 after compo selections for Motlop & Rockliff.  It wouldn't bother me if they got rid of compensation picks when you lose a free agent

But the Cats said they wouldn't part with 34, why would they part with 19? Now they will offer 34 to the Suns.

They’ve probably been given 19 on the basis it’s on traded for Ablett.  This will be to help GCS. 

Suns have stated from the start that they don't want picks, but a player instead.  They may have to relent in the end but I don't see it helping them get GAJ back to Geelong.

Pick 19 for Motlop is a joke

Jeelong will be celebrating tonight

Jack Watts is of similiar worth, and we won’t get anywhere near 19 if a deal does get done. 

Jeelong, once again get the armchair ride for what they want. 

I am starting to REALLY hate them now, rather than just hating them...!

Getting pick 19 for Motlop is deranged. Hocking well thats typical. He is probably the softest player in the AFL.

We got pick 3 for Frawley.  I wouldn't be whinging

Every club pays the price for one compo pick. That's what's so sh!t about the system

Vogon, are you suggesting a conspiracy to corrupt the game?

They aren’t getting a player from Geelong of value. 19 might get them that player. 

And how is the salary of Gary paid in advance then recouped, if they don't get a Cat's player who has part of his salary paid by the Cats?

Front loading ie bringing forward future contracted payments to current year is not unusual. It is complicating return of Ablett to Geelong as he was front loaded $300,000 this year. Suns, quite reasonably, have said they want a Geelong contracted player  to be traded for Ablett so Cats can pay the first $300,000 of that player's 2018 contract. 

In the end  I suspect AFL will want Ablett to return to Cats so a deal will be done for a draft pick.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
