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

 

All the Best Jimmy J, i wanted you to stay but can understand why you're off.

All the best young man, except against the Red and the Blue

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!

From afl.com: end of round two compensation pick - currently pick No.39

End of round 2, currently 39

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.

 

 

Good luck JJ hope you get a good run at Swans a bit sad that it didn’t work out with us.!!

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: 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.
