I reckon the general board would light up with a topic like that.

Tell us how much you would keep if the world was offered to you.

I'm happy with $100k p.a. No one needs more than that, unless they're supporting multiple people.

 

Set to join Gold Coast after the GF for 5 years at 600k a season. Too good to knock back IMO, take the money and run Brandon.

PS. Tigers laughing at the compo pick they are going to get.

Lynch and then pick 20 approx for losing Ellis who they didn’t want to keep.

Gotta love equalisation AFL style.

Pick 39 actually. And Richmond wanted to keep him, but as a free agent they couldn't afford his asking price and years.

Did they get pick 39? That is much fairer.

Yes. He gave Richmond very good service and was a worthwhile contributor to 2 flags. That should just about be enough.

Free agent = win

His disposal = averge

His contested ball use = atrocious 

21.5 disp per game @ 77% this season

6.5 contested possessions average this season

3.7 turnovers average & 2.5 tackles

not bad but not worth $3m over 5 years.....

Another trade broken, notch that up as another exclusive DL. #ETthetradebreaker.

NAH, GET A NEW ONE...

 

I just wonder did the mfc demand the afl explain as tigers did with Ellis compensation. Tigers have won 2 flags yet they are fighting for the best deal.. does the mfc?

You have absolutely no idea what our club negotiated with the AFL Commission a few weeks ago.

Be a little more logical and have a think about why we might have gone quiet RE: GCS' priority pick.


Im not trying to be smart, but do you actually think the AFL care what the clubs have to say?

Last I heard from the AFL (about club land) the coaches were killing the game.

Let alone a minor club like ours - would jumping up and down make u feel better?

Just asking the question are we fighting as club to ensure the best deal?

That is a fair question.

 

The OP is definitely implying both cases are the same, yet one is draft assistance and the other is FA compensation. It's not apples with apples.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
