Well he has been played as a key forward so there is a reason for that, lot of good key defenders are iffy kicks the Eagles have one of them who is a chance for AA this year in Mackenzie.

Very poor season is a stretch. Watched many Melbourne games?
I don't get the amount of people thinking that he would realistically request that coin. Media spin at its best and working I see.

Yes, I have. He along with Dawes, cost you the Port Adelaide game.
That doesn't mean that he has had a very poor season. Also there was at least one other incident involving Jetta taking advantage in last quarter that also hurt us. But I won't put the blame on him. Wouldn't say yhey cost us the game.

Not wanting to be a dick , but given that band compensation is related to contract offered as i understand it, ( and im happy to be corrected) does it hurt if he goes to Geelong for, as the Geelong way is, under market value? If Cats get him at 500k for 5 years, how does that effect your Comp Pick for him as opposed to say 6 years at 800k.
Trying to ascertain if the FA system has yet another hole in it…

That's not way unders and might still get us band 1 given the 5 years, but they do have a backup just in case the formula comes up with a pick that's way under:
"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."
Given Buddy went for pick 18 or whatever, it would have to be massive 'unders' for the committee to do anything. It'd be interesting to see if they ever do step in as it'll set a precedent similar to when they award the first priority pick under the new scheme.

Yay
I think they let it happen because the Hawks are in such a good position, I think they try to better compensate the struggling teams.

If Melbourne get Malceski as it's being reported, they won't get 1st Round compo for Frawley.
They'd trade for him, not take him as a free agent.
Plus it was band 1 already i.e. the highest band....
Too right. Mark Neeld would've taken him as a FA though lol
Absolutely it affects it. His last contract with us was also front loaded which is why he's an unrestricted free agent.
It has massive holes in it but it's probably still minor compared to the many other things wrong with the AFL
No doubt they'll change that rule next year so that it's the average salary over their last contract...
ThePuppetMaster
Yay
Yeah, but wasn't the rule that they could intervene in the compo if necessary around when Bud left?

Would melbourne be willing to give up something that makes it in Sydney's best interest?
depending on contract it's probably going to be somewhere in the 2nd round, so Melbourne would need to either give up a decent player or their 2nd round pick to make it work
Depends if Melbourne's third round pick is tied up with Billy Stretch or not, but their third round pick would only be a few picks off Sydney's second round pick (which the compensation would be tied to).
I take that rule to mean they can only change the band, rather than add picks at their discretion. Who knows though, the AFL does whatever it feels like.

If Melbourne pay Malceski say $500 k per season, Sydney may get second round compensation. I doubt they will erode that when they have no need to.
We're not going to 'erode' the Frawley compo for a 30yo though.
I would be very surprised if Melbourne picked up Malceski as FA if we lose Frawley. We wouldn't dilute the compo if it is pick 4-5.
