So when do we here about compensation, 24 hours post paperwork being submitted or is that only for RFAs that haven't been matched?

    Quality person. 

    His effort and commitment was never in question. I hope he goes on to play plenty of senior footy at the Swans.

    I’m always sad when a player leaves us. *It’s like when your kid moves out of home. You know it’s best for all involved but you know you’re gonna miss them.

    *except they’re not gonna bring their laundry to yours every week. 😁

    If he does, MFC laundry staff are going to have so much more trouble with the white than the navy blue...

    Travel well James. Just don't cut us up like you cut teams up at Casey!

    Straight to Adelaide for McAdam or to Brisbane

    39 might move up as picks in the 20s and 30s are swallowed up for NGA and FS. Handy that it's inside 40 in case Dees look at our potential NGAs outside 40, eg. Riak Andrew

    Given the way Essendon and the Saints are rorting things. We should do something with the Swans such as

    Swans pay Jordon enough to make it 2nd round compo or similar.

    Melbourne returns the compo pick back to the Swans and we trade 13 for 11 and 25 for 23.

    Moves our first and second round picks up the draft a bit, if it's a 3rd round pick it's not probably going to be used by MFC anyway.

    Can be traded back in some deals as steak knives !!

    Good luck JJ. Thanks for all your efforts for the Dees.  You are still a valued member of our 2021  Flag and will always be remembered for that.

    MFC app: "Midfielder to depart club"

    Click bait much

    Imagine if they released that BEFORE the Clayton statement. 

     

    Wishing JJ the best of luck!

    I never really felt I saw enough continuity with Jordon, bit across half back, bit on the wing, bit in the middle, tough gig.

    I think he will lock down a spot at the swans and crack 150 plus for them and good luck to him if he does.

    Pick 39 is IMO fair. 

    Good luck to JJ.

    Will go to Bris for Fullerton

    Good Business

    Pick 39 is respectable in the circumstances.

    Valuable enough to lubricate other deals, or maybe hang onto it for that last targeted player that all the other clubs miss in the second round. Maybe just gets cashed for points for the Kynan Brown bid. Who knows? Not me!

    Jordon should do fine at Sydney and I wish him all the second-best. :D

    End of Round 2 compensation pick… i think that feels fair

    I don’t. 23 year old Premiership player. Whole career ahead of him. Ben McKay older and a worse player who has been injury prone and actually quite ordinary, likely pick 3. No way they are 36 picks apart. AFL have said age is a big factor in compo. 

    The AFL do what they like.

    Anyway we will use it for a player so big deal.

    Good luck JJ with Swans and rest of your career.

    You’ve got to let this go. 

    The pick we got for Frawley was 15-odd better than what Hawthorn got for Buddy. It’s what happens when one club is at the bottom of the ladder and the other is near the top. Plus no matter how much you rate Jordon he was fringe this year (12 games in the 22, 6 more as sub), he will be on a moderate contract because we weren’t rushing to throw him one, and midfielders are of higher supply than key defenders. How you can so clearly say McKay is “worse” than Jordon despite them playing vastly different positions for vastly different clubs is beyond me, too.

    Pick 39 is pretty reasonable for a midfielder we clearly weren’t all in for.

    I have let it go, as we will use it for a player anyway, so 39, 35 or 30 it will go,  just giving my view on the actual compo.

    It will go to Lions or Crows so no real biggie to us, I get your point though.

    Btw Is that official compo or a guess?

    There are a couple of reasons for the differential. One is the fact that there’s a club out there willing to give McKay a fat contract worth close to $800kpa for starters over a long term and second is the place where we finished the season (6th) compared to where North finished (17th) - on this factor alone JJ compo would be pick 28. It’s a fair deal for us IMO.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
