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?

Interesting...

 

I'm not going to complain about compo picks seeing as we previously got pick 3 for Frawley and a pick in the early 20's for Sylvia. It has been good to us.

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.

helps having hocking inside the tent, ethan

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?

2 hours ago, Vogon Poetry said:

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?

They are my most hated AFL club south of Werribee.

I consider them an Interstate club!

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
