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

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.

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...

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

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
