700k for 3 years?  I’d take that to lie in the sun and get my groin rubbed.

our kossie pickup looks awesome now.  All these additional picks will mean that our pick swap moves back, and back, and back..... last year was fairly clear, this year the top 10 could have 2 or more additional picks added

    Round 1 compensation is a absolute farce. Secret formula what a joke. Makes me a bit sick to be honest. 

    Let’s not carried away, we got pick 3 for Frawley.

    Moving into last years draft and getting Kozzie was a stroke of genius.

    Yes the picks are moving back and its heavily compromised, but the big one is that this years draft crop didn't play at all this season    Lost their most important development year.  Its a terrible year to have picks.

    And to top it off we got 15 games of AFL into Pickett.

    You almost wonder if there is something fishy going on there, just as there are speculations about 'side deals' going on with Crouch to St Kilda.

    based on the compo for daniher, there's simply no way that the free agency offer for cocaine crouch from the aints won't generate pick 2 for the cows

    it's one day into free agency and i'm more thankful than ever that we traded out our 2020 first last year to make sure we secured pickett

    Can someone please explain this quote from Dodoro for me that was in the age this afternoon.

    https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/joey-was-really-close-to-staying-bombers-ceo-20201030-p56a2l.html

    “I would like to thank Brisbane for their dealings in recent weeks. We feel we have reached a fair deal," he said.

    Why would they be dealing/negotiating with Brisbane? As a RFA wouldn't Brisbane just put forward an offer to Joe and his management to which the bombers then review and decide to match? Isn't that how its supposed to work?

    With my conspiracist googles on, it reads like they have been trying to engineer a first round compensation pick through what I can only imagine would be a form of either draft or trade tampering. I'll be keeping an eye out for a lop sided pick swap or some sort of transfer of player dirt cheap.

    Yes very interesting quote indeed.

    I assume the dealings may have gone something like -  Brissy first offer was 600k a year for 4 years. Dodoro goes no make it $700k a year for 3 years. That will give us pick 7 and we won’t force you to trade for him. We both win.

    He’s a great player when fit.  

    He’s somewhat mentally fragile but is one of the few current forwards who can tear a game apart in minutes.  Definitely worth a first round pick.

    Pick 7 seems fair to me. He’d be on a big contract and has amazing talent. Watch him play 20 games next year. He just Didn’t want to play for the bombers. And I completely understand that

    The compo system is terrible.

    That we got 3 for Chip is a joke. That the Bummers get 7 for a guy that can't get on the park is stupid. That Hawks got 19 for Buddy was ridiculous.

    I know it's based upon the team ladder position, but that is arbitrary to the player's real value 

    Get rid of compo. Completely.

    If that were to happen, clubs would argue for being able to trade contracted players, and the AFLPA will never agree to that

    And the AFL turn a blind eye to it.  After all, they need to 'make Ess strong again for the good of the competition'.  Along with all those prime FTA spots and venue fixturing they get.

     

    As an aside I wonder if the AFL turn a blind eye if Saints/Crows play similar games and give Crows pick 2...

    I am amazed that Brisbane would offer enough guaranteed $ in the contract to get first round compensation. He has barely played in three years and far from dominated in his games this year.

    Compo definitely further compromises an already questionable and uneven playing field in player trading that hamstrings the legitimacy of the AFL and every club so affected - both negatively and as it might be, advantageously.

    How much is Daniher getting from the Lions? Chip was given a big contract which is why we got band 1 compo

    that's the thing - who knows? contracts are all secret squirrel

    with the compo being totally secret herbs and spices, and the afl having the discretion to do whatever they want, the band 1 compo for daniher seems utterly absurd

    the afl even admitted that we got overs for chip: https://www.afl.com.au/news/126321/revealed-what-it-takes-to-earn-firstround-free-agency-compensation-

    we were gifted band 1 compo cos the afl had earlier refused to give us a priority pick, which is what we REALLY should have received, given how atrocious we were on field for a five year period, plus an end of first round compo pick for chip

    whole thing is a farce, as we all know

    hard to think that $600k warrants a 7 pick

    Harder to believe they gave him 5 years. He can seriously play when he is on but mostly he’s broken or his head is up his bum

    It ended up being three years.

    That was a few weeks ago before the argy -bargy got going.  I think it had some incentive payments on top of the base $600k.

    Its interesting that there are no reports of the $ that were in the final offer 3 year.  To get 1st rnd pick it would need to be $750-$800k base.   A sizeable jump (and risk) for a player who has hardly played for 3 years.  But hey, they have to spend their sal cap on someone...

    Does anyone know if a club can renegotiate an FA offer a year or so later.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
