[Elite Pete]

After all the academy & f/s matches, how much further will it fall?

That’s after that.

It’s currently 26.
26-Ashcroft
27-Lombard
28-Kako
29- Marshall
now at 30.

Other FS and academy’s that are unlikely to come before that
Welsh
Camporeale x2
Champion
And I think Giants have an NGA ruck expected around the mid 30s too

 

[Bender_]

Does anyone know who at the V/AFL makes the decision regarding compensation picks.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Rhys Unwin, very impressive player I mentioned a few times. Really like him as a later pick.

 

[Mattman93]

I looked ahead to this off-season excited for some unwonted WCE wheeling and dealing, but at the rate it's going I'd borderline prefer we just did nothing.

If it's unders for Barrass just keep him; don't overpay for Baker; don't help Richmond reap in picks 1&2 or 1&3 or something.

Christ.

 

[THE_GUN]

I dont really want Bolton tbh, id rather picks.

Definitely think this band 1 Graham thing should be explored more though, hopefully the clubs are thinking it too lol

So you wouldnt want Reid , #3 , Bolton , Warner , Hewitt & Allan combination of midfield
you rather #14 than Bolton

Crazy

 

[THE_GUN]

Mate petch is a superstar. Will prob win the brownlow next year. You're getting a bargain

Have you seen Cumberland , He IS THE NEXT DUSTY just has to get a few games in a row

Id rather my idea where the Eagles end up with 6+9+13+23 with Baker and Graham before draft complexities than making Bolton happen.
We also need bulk early picks, its not just you guys.
We would still have our F1+HawksF1 to chase Warner next year

Nah not enough in it for Richmond and rather stick with out picks and take 14 got baker and trade for 2 with north

Phil and Bondy after one day:

 

[amazingjoshy]

As if this day couldn’t get any worse for WC supporters, our 2nd is pushed back even further.

Currently at 26 now after Battle, Perryman and Cumming compo.

It's always been a mickey mouse league, it's just humorous to me at this point

 

[stallon]

I literally have you guys getting the rough equivalent of pick 12 of value for free.
Eagles get pick 9 but get stuck with the huge Graham contract.

Wtf do you mean not enough for Richmond?
Thats about as fair as I could make it, if anything Richmond gets the better deal here lmao

 

[RanaNaved]

Phil and Bondy after one day:

Reckon those two are more connected to WC tbh

 

[Monocle]

Does anyone know who at the V/AFL makes the decision regarding compensation picks.

Well the decision is made by a Committee of Three, to ensure the pick is determined both with equity in mind and by consensus.

It should be noted that The AFL Commission went out of their way to ensure that the makeup of the Committee was a balanced representative group, with the selection panel factoring in: gender, race and socio economic factors, when they appointed the Committee members.

Here is the vision of the three committee members on their way to AFL House earlier today to consider the appropriate compensation.

 

[Elite Pete]

Saints trade if they want a ‘top’ mid.

3 + 14
For
7 + 8?

 

[Elite Pete]

Have you seen Cumberland , He IS THE NEXT DUSTY just has to get a few games in a row

Who do you think the Tigers go with pick 1? FOS? Lalor?

 

[Mattman93]

Nah come on, the most enjoyment we might be getting out of this period is the customary period of melting.

Regarding which, as I said, the gallery of target characters is looking a bit thin. BOND 007 you know what M.Clarke's pastry of choice is?

 

[stallon]

3 + 14

7 + 8?

I suggested it on the Saints board earlier today and they were all keen.

They really want a mid and a KPP of some sort I believe, and it would secure us Travaglia plus hopefully one of the mids that slides if Tauru or something jumps up the rankings

How have we not delisted Petch

If you don't think there's enough in it for Richmond we can send an uncontracted Baker to the PSD if they want to be unreasonable and demand overs for him.

I think the option where you end up with another top 5 pick out of thin air is better for all parties involved rather than trying to have your cake and eat it too and outright win every trade you're involved in.

 

[Hillsy13]

Pretty sure the afl would step in and prevent us from rigging the system by overpaying graham to get baker for cheap. Think Essendon and saints were trying to work out something similar involving Shiel last year and there was talk the afl wouldn’t let that happen.

Also really seems like the compo has not been adjusted to reflect the cba increase so obviously there is an increase in higher paid players = more 1st round compo

I recognize Andrew Dillon and Mama Kane, so who is the one in the top left hand

 

[Wce17]

The club’s off-field performance so far appears pretty insipid.

It seems we’ve been corralled into dealing with Hawthorn exclusively on Barrass. I don’t recall any statement (from the Geelong playbook) to the effect that, if he wants to get to Melbourne, there are plenty of clubs there and we’re happy to deal with whoever can provide fair value. They’ve been played like guitars by Hawthorn and Barrass so far.

It seems (from the confidence of a few of the credible footy journos) we must’ve conceded we’ll need to hand over pick 13 for Baker (albeit with some other picks possibly exchanged). This heavily dilutes the Barrass compensation and begs the question is there really any point proceeding

And from the deathly silence, it would appear we’re too shy to ask for a priority pick.

FFS guys LIFT!!!

LOL nothing has even happened and you’re melting over speculation.

What if we are just really keen on Graham and he wouldnt move across the country for anything less than 900k per year?

Who are the AFL to say that we dont think hes worth it?

One of the mids will be there in the open draft, Possibly 2.

1- FOS (Rich)
2- Lalor (North go a tall if they can’t get a split)
3- Jagga (Saints, not sure who they would target)
4- Sid (Adel seems to fit)
5- Reid (Dees could also go Armstrong)
6- Smillie (Rich apparently keen)
7- Langford*
8- Travaglia*

Yeah you're right let's not even worry about it and just trade a potential top 10 pick for baker...
