Freo gave away their draft picks. No point tanking.ย  Their cupboardย  is bare.ย  I hope Jacko was worth it.

With my tinfoil hat on, maybe they plan to do a deal with MFC.ย  They sink as low as possible and in return we give them something.ย ย  (Yes, joking.)

Absolutely. ย We were able to extract Freo's 2nd rounder for this exact reason. ย They begrudgingly relented to our demand and gave us the pick because all parties believed Freo would be much higher on the ladder and that 2 picks in the teens would not have been a fair price for Jacko.

They bet on improving (or at worst holding steady) and now we're getting better than expected value. A win for us, but how big won't be known for a while yet.

I'm surprised the 2023 2nd Round Pick would have sweetened the deal much. Based on a Top 4 finish for Freo this year it would have been about Pick 35 even before dilution from Academy & Father/Son picks, Free Agency Compensation, North Special Compensation etc. etc.ย ย

As long as Suns smash Roos in last round. Dockers will belt Eagles and lift % and then could beat Hawks.

Freoโ€™s percentage should get worse with games against Geelong in Geelong, Brisbane and Port.ย

Thatโ€™s true. I suppose win over Eagles just has to be less than combined losses to the 3 you named and hopefully lose to Hawks. Then itโ€™s done and with a win by Suns over Roos franking it.

None of us would have seen pick 4 coming, on top of Jefferson pick and improved Freo 2nd rounder.

TBH Jacko has really played no better than in 2022, other than a couple of very good games.

Freo supporters digging their heels in and reckon the Jackson trade has been worth it.

I hope they think the same in 4 years when their salary cap is cooked and they are still a middle of the pack team with no aspirations. ๐Ÿ˜


If Ben McKay leaves North, would they not get pick 3 as free agency compo? The pick after their pick 2.

It's no different to us receiving pick 3 for Frawley in 2014.

Ultimately it comes down to contract price, length and some unknown formula the afl uses that factors in age and god knows what else. Since those are secret, they can disguise draft assistance with a first round compensation pick quite easily.

I will say that Frawley had played nearly twice the amount of games and earned himself an AA jacket. McKay is not the same quality and hard to see a team spending upwards of 800k per year on him.

agree. ben mckay is not worth a 1st round pick. The very best would be an end of 1st round pick and even that is doubtful.

his value is not based on his skill or form but more that he fills a niche that not many do, plus a lot of wishful thinking re his "potential".

Of course norf would want a 1st round pick, but i'm surprised how many media pundits are claiming or pushing for it. makes for good click-bait i suppose or maybe the afl have been doing some whispering to their acolytes in the media.

given the afl "magic ingredients" formulae in such trades anything outrageous is possible. But instead of looking for some sneaky way to give norf a compensation pick, just outright give them a compensation pick, but not pick 3 as there is already too much draft distortion at the top end with rfas, academy and father/son guarantees.

Agreed with all that, but this could be the AFL's opportunity to help North out in a major way.

Hope I'm wrong.

Absolutely it could.ย 

Also discussion around North getting the ability to pre-list Sanders and Callinan.

I think it will be one or the other.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
