I think Saty is Mark Neeld lol

Free agent next year, I reckon he will be seriously tempted

I reckon he will play back and Howe or Garland will go forward

Is Dangerfield gettable? 6 year deal, good dollars, maybe the captaincy? he would be massive for our club.

Nathan Vardy, good young ruckman, 3rd in line behind Simpson and Mcintosh

I reckon we should develop Salem into the Luke Hodge quarter back type player, has the skills to be damaging and set up, can mark, very clean and brave

Howe and Garland forward? Tapscott and Jetta come into the backline Watts Pederson Bail Garland Dawes Riley

I absolutely hate Stevie J, the most smug idiot I have ever seen, I hope Roosy has bought Tappy in just to knock him into next week

Adam Tommlinson is the one I want, I see him emerging much like Tom Lynch has, very mobile, amazing workrate, good hands and skills and would compliment Hogan and Dawes really well in my opinion would like to see pick 4 and 24 for Shiel and Tommlinson

No excuses here, Bendigo gold are about as useful as a [censored] flavoured lollypop

Malcheski unrestricted free agent, apparently the swans are concerned with the cap squeeze, would be a great get for a couple of years imo, but we'd have to keep Chip or risk damaging our compo

I reckon Barry could become a fantastic tagger, he's not afraid of the tough stuff, has great pace and imagine the dees winning the ball, and barry sprinting into space off his opponent, he would be a handful for his opponent and demand respect, I can see him become a massive component to our team

Do you guys reckon he is more suited to forward or back? I quite like him up forward, I think he's a hugely dangerous matchup and capable of kicking multiple goals but he also looks a very handy defender at the minute

I reckon Barry has some good traits, he's a project player but cracking a game this year is a good sign, I reckon at the end of the next two years he will be a regular in our best 22 and be playing a role very well, the two years thing could well be for the successor to sort of have the flexability to make changes to the list when he comes in.

2015 will be a huge year for a few boys, Toumpas I reckon is tracking okay, when he has been in the ones he has been fairly solid averaging 17 touches, he really just needs confidence and obviously they are working on particular parts of his game at Casey, or were before his appendix decided to jump ship. Trenners will be really interesting, will it be the Trengove of his first two years, or his second two years? I reckon if he has another slow year he might well find himself on the trade table, if he is the Trengove of old a lot of people we be remind just how good this kid is, to me it could be as good as landing someone like Sheil or Coniglio,

Time to put a 3 year extension in front of viney?

Fat Tony, look at Gary ablett Jr's first 3 years, took him a while to get going

All for throwing the sink at Cameron

I agree mate, I reckon the AFL will look after us if Chip decides his future is elsewhere

Great news! Two more years for TMAC http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-07-10/mcdonald-locked-in-at-Melbourne http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-07-10/dom-a-demon-until-at-least-2016

COMPENSATION A club that has a net loss of players transferring to/from other clubs as free agents in one transfer period is entitled to compensation via National Draft picks allocated by the AFL. The compensation formula produces a points rating for players based on: 1. The new contract of the free agent; 2. The age of the free agent. Draft picks are allocated to clubs based on the net total points for free agents lost and gained during the transfer period. Draft picks will be allocated to one of five places: • 1st round • end of 1st round • 2nd round • end of 2nd round • 3rd round In applying the formula, an expert committee reviews the formula outcomes. The committee has the power to recommend alternative outcomes to GM – Football Operations where the formula produces a materially anomalous result. so at 25, he is going to get at least 4 years at around 600k I would think and that will be what fundamentally dictates the compensation, but I feel the bottom highlighted sentence will come into play if it looks like being anything less than band 1 because of our position, our poor form over recent seasons and the importance of Frawley to our team and prospects going forward.

Age, postion of the club, standing within the club are all considerations as far as I am aware, which is why we got overs for Sylvia last year imo

they take the age, position of the team and importance to the team into account correct? surely a key defender in a bottom 3 team that has won 37 games in 8 years who is in the leadership group would all push anything above 500k per year up into band 1, I reckon they would make sure we are compensated well for what would be a very significant loss for the club

I think the AFL community will riot if Sydney are able to land Frawley as well.

The mixed messages are unbelievable Bomber: the players were briefed on the supplements and their potential health risks, one infact cures cancer EFC: the players and club didn't know what they were being administered but we know that it's not banned Dank: on different occasions has both confirmed and denied the use of TB4, but has consistently said the players knew what they were taking they have shot themselves in the foot.
