But this will change after AFL Free Agency Compensation for Ben McKay. Extremely likely to be North Pick 3 with every subsequent pick sliding back 1.

That looks like happening because Essendon have decided to open their war chest and spend it on a longish contract starting at $800-$850k per annum. And their fans wonder why they haven’t won a finals game for almost a couple of decades.

Marc McGowan in the Age suggesting that the offer is expected to be around 750k over 6 years:

As I understand it these are the current criteria:

https://www.afl.com.au/about-afl/free-agency

The formula used is deliberately opaque and then the result produced from the formula can be overridden 'where the formula produces a materially anomolous result'. In who's opinion?  I'm at a loss to understand why there needs to be 5 bands and why three of them are dependent on where the Club concerned finishes on the ladder. Why should ladder position affect compensation given? Equalisation already happens through the reverse draft based on ladder position and through the fixturing process  which favours lower teams. Why not just allocate a free agency competition pick independent of finishing position? Much fairer.

or, better yet, do away with compensation entirely?

100% agree. Scrap compensation and it will actually promote more player movement, as teams won't be holding off on picking another player due to fears of diluting compensation.

I personally think that once a player has been on an AFL list for over 8 years, they should be a free agent for the remainder of their career.

So for example, player X chooses to move to another club in their 9th year on a 3 year deal. At the end of that 3 years they can choose to move to another club and still be a free agent.

If people feel 8 years is too short then could always start at 10 years and see how that goes and reduce if needed.

This made up compensation nonsense is a joke.

i'd go further - make it 6 years and free agent for life

i think the 'for life' bit actually does exist now, possibly?

Initially we all got excited  and were a chance for Reid, then Dursma, then  Mc Cercher., then Sanders and now thanks to the AFL the 5’2 Watson  and what next.

Hawthorn worked this [censored] out years ago.
Let those who want to play the untried draft game do so and they will  pick off the ripe fruit.

yeah but hawks did it all as free agents for the most part once they were in their 'win now' window, particularly by adding lake and frawley, while the tigs added lynch

we had to trade for our equivalents thereof

So, looking at this, Melbourne currently has 5 draft picks in play. We will get something for Brodie Grundy, and I'm not sure if we will get anything for James Jordon and James Harmes if they choose to leave. We are losing, to the best of my knowledge, Michael Hibberd, Luke Dunstan, possibly Jake Melksham, Deakyn Jones, with Ben Brown and Tom McDonald on their last legs if they play. Is it just me or does it seem that rather than throwing all our eggs in one basket with Harley Reid, that the FD will be using every one of our picks to rejuvenate our list with pace and skill, or am I reading it wrong? Grundy, Hibberd, Dunstan and Melksham would have all been on good coin, so are we going to make a play at a free agent we don't know about yet because we have some cap space? 

As it stands are first two picks will be 6 and 18 once agency, F/S and F/A picks are included:

 

1 WCE

2 GCS - Walter

3 NM

4 NM - McKay

5 HAW

6 MEL

8 GWS

9 GEE

10 GCS - Read

11 ESS

12 ADE

13 GCS - Rogers

14 WB - Croft

15 WB

16 SYD

17 STK

18 MEL

19 HAW - McCabe

20 NM

21 GWS

22 CAR

23 WB

24 COL

25 NM - PRIORITY

Pick 7 would be ours. You're missing Gold Coast's pick 6.

I thought it was based on years of service for the one club, but you may be right.

Nah, in that draft order the GC lose pick 6 with the bid for Walter.  It mostly will be 7 if GC trade that pick

I think Ben McKay is a good player and I would be happy if he joined our club, but pick 4 in free agency compensation is nonsense. He's an effective defender who can intercept and contest very well, but gives nothing on the counter-attack.

Ben McKay Best and Fairest placings in a bottom-4 club are 6th in 2021 and 9th in 2020. That's it.

Those are the only years he's played a full season, too.

Essendon massively overpaying a contract for a player - and creating a net weakening of the Bomber's list - just to make sure that every other club is also penalised by the transaction?

The artist Dodoro signing his work?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
