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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
