big boy in the flesh.
http://www.afl.com.au/afl-hq/the-afl-explained/free-agencyPersonally, I have no idea if mid round compensation exists, but did read somewhere about that being possible instead of pick 3.
Was just a thought anyway as I rate Trengove as the better target for us out of Grimes, Toumpas & Watts being the other Dees thrown up as bait.
I'm a fan of the stretegy, but would make the following changes:If the Dees get pick 11 for Frawley, We could offer pick 6 for 11 & Jack Trengove (if as rumoured to be on the table are true). Only just turned 23, former pick 2 & captain. Has been injured this year, but has played 80 games over 5 seasons. We could then use pick 11 for Mitchell & maybe pick 38. This would sort out the mids, still leaving pick 26 for Jaksch. We can then try & upgrade picks 38 & 44 for mid-late 20 picks using Robbo, Lucas & Warnock. Thoughts?
Well bugger that idea then.http://www.afl.com.au/afl-hq/the-afl-explained/free-agency
no mid-first round band. Just first round, or end of first round.
The mid-band stuff has come from a discussion about how the panel has an assessment of what the formula suggests and may change it if it doesnt "feel right". They apparently have the option to make band 1 compensation into a mid round pick if they feel a pick tied to the first pick is too high for that specific player.http://www.afl.com.au/afl-hq/the-afl-explained/free-agency

perfect. Mid first round feels right for Frawley yeah??? Considering we only got 1st round for Ward who signed a deal as big (likely bigger) than Frawley and was only 22 at the time (age is one of the few factors taken into consideration).The mid-band stuff has come from a discussion about how the panel has an assessment of what the formula suggests and may change it if it doesnt "feel right".

Edit: "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 Melbourne position, pick 11 feels about right.perfect. Mid first round feels right for Frawley yeah??? Considering we only got 1st round for Ward who signed a deal as big (likely bigger) than Frawley and was only 22 at the time (age is one of the few factors taken into consideration).
Put Bucks in for 2e on the half back line and I like it. Reckon if Crippa has a big pre-season, we should back him in from R1 and pump as many games into him as he can handle. Has the class, just needs the game time to adjust to the level.If we can land Laverde , Jaksch and Jones this off seasonI'll be pretty pleased with our work .
Simpson Jamison Jaksch
Bucks Rowe Docherty
Yarran Cripps Laverde
Walker Henderson Thomas
Menzel Jones Casboult
Kruezer Gibbs Murphy
Judd Everitt Curnow Bell/Buckley/Graham
Or could we just have Jaksch and Henderson rotating from attack to defence when necessary? Could make a dangerous and versatile duo.If we land Jaksch, would we push Henderson back with Jamison and Rowe?
Would that make our forward set up too inexperienced?
Not to mention the Hawks have won a flag without one and seem to do pretty well even when rookies are their only option. Most overrated position now in the AFL and the reason why we looked so much better with Cam Wood over Warnock simply because he was more mobile and could cover more ground. Unless you have something special like a Sandi or NicNat with something that makes them incredibly hard to match up on, dont want. Give me someone who can mark and kick with an engine first, who will provide a contest in the middle 2nd and im happy. Warnock would have been great 20 years ago. The games too fast now, athletes have too many attributes that you cant just be a tap ruckman anymore.
Started as a forward as a junior, but played a fair bit as a KPD in his TAC year. Was pretty much drafted as a swingman.Is Jaksch a forward or backman?
I have as a forward that has had to play back due to how many key targets GWS have wanted to play.
Every chance (if we get him) he will spend time down back. But I would really like to put him in the forward line and leave him there.
I'm a fan of the stretegy, but would make the following changes:
Pick 6 + Pick 26 + Robinson (or Warnock) = Pick 11 + Pick 21 + Trengove + Blease
Pick 11 = Mitchell and Membrey
Pick 21 = Jacksh
Two picks and a fringe player = 5 players (3 mids and 2 talls)
I'd also be trying to send Warnock to Essendon to cover the loss of Ryder, not sure what i'd want in return.

It would have to be a fairly.... delusional(?) person to think Jaksch is being recruited to come in and immediately dominate whatever position he plays for us and take us to #17.IF we did land Jaksch, he has played less than 10 games in 2 years, are we expecting too much of him? Casboult, Henderson and Jaksch if Waite goes. Would still like to see Walker down there as he is our Gunston, Jones could give some development space to Jaksch IF we happen to land them both and what of Watson, was his last game a one off ( I hope not)
That's actually one of the reasons he wants to come. The idea of being supported by Lachie and Levi (forward) or Rowe and Jamo (defence) appeals to him. At other clubs he knows he won't have that much mature support around him and he thinks it will hurt his development.Jaksch is also pretty under developed physically. Hasn't filled out much at all. Doesn't look ready to help win afl games any time soon.
