Re: Timing of compensation pick
The compo works on net loss/gain. AFL can't work out compo until the end of the FA window. For example it stays as is we will get band 1 compo, we sign a another band 1 player we get no compo. We sign a lesser player we get lesser compo etc.. It wouldn't surprise me if the afl have given the saints...

Re: Saints chase Caddy, Brown
Caddy has had his 2nd meeting with the Saints... loves the facilities but the drive to Seaford is an issue. We're right in the mix. Josh has a few mates at StK that have raved about the joint (Watters, Lenny, etc) The fact that our pick is lower than both Nth & Geel's gives us the advantage as ...

Re: Pick 13 Are we certain to get it?
There are 9 clubs below us. Melbourne have 3 picks in the first round - Hun this morning says Melbourne have 3 of first 13 picks. They get pick 3 and another 2 first round picks which according to Hun are 4 and 13 for losing Scully. Bulldogs also get 2 of first 6 (5 and 6) with compensation for los...

Re: Pick 13 Are we certain to get it?
Can someone explain to me why the best we can do is pick #13? Surely a no.1. draft pick who has consistently performed at the top and been in the top performers of his team is worthy of a top 10 pick, possibly even pick # 5. I read the AFLPA info and it says the pick no is up to the discretion of t...

We'll have 2 first round picks from where? We have 12, bombers have to use 13 on Daniher yeah? It will be a completely new "made up" pick from the AFL. Has nothing to do with any of the bombers or and other teams picks. The AFL would create a new pick after our first round pick, and and p...

Not a huge loss its a reaming. If we where to trade BJ wwe would get Ess first pick and a player. No we wouldn't! Essendon will have to use that pick on Joe Daniher!

Re: Still can't watch it : 2010
Very very painful. I suppose in context the 1997 GF is the most bearable. Why? Because in the end we got trounced and were never going to win it. I must have been at a different game. 10 points down at 3/4 time.From memory we were still 10 points down about 10 minutes in with Siera lining up for go...

Re: National Draft Discussion
I think they will bid to ensure Melbourne use pick 3. Surely Melbourne would just take Grundy and Toumpas under that scenario and just laugh at Gold Coast. Viney isn't worth pick 2 so I imagine Melbourne will get him second round. No way in hell GWS risk bidding on anyone. Gold Coast might be in a ...

Seeing as though the first part of the formula is the contract size, then I would say we would be looking at a pretty good.... Goddard, if cloke stays a pie, will be the highest profile FA, and we would be pretty stiff to get an over 20 pick for him... Agree, surely even if the offer to leave was t...

I can understand how some members would think Geez they expect us to be loyal and yet our players cant be.

Re: Delistings and retirements
We have to bite the bullett with Kosi. His second efforts when the ball Hits the ground are lamentable, and enable the opposition to quickly and easily run the ball out of our forward half. Is this part of the reason clubs in many games have rebounded too easily? He's just part of the picture of co...

Re: How Many Players are gone !
Dont think we will get to compensation picks for BJ unless he goes to GWS which looks unlikely. If BJ goes via free agency I thought we got a compensation using some formula the afl keeps secret Under free agency you still get compo but it's not a generous. Best result is a first round pick.

Okay, someone with a better understanding of Free Agency may be able to explain this to me.

Let's say: GWS -$ 800,000 pa Freo - $ 700,000 pa StKFC - $ 600...
