So what's the rumour about Bourke being St Kilda's back up plan if Carlisle deal falls through? Any truth there or just posturing to make Essendon accept the lower offer?

I hope this isn't the case, but I'm a bit worried that the AFL is weighing up the reaction to the Selwood compo before deciding what to give us.

I've thought for a while that they'd be keen to bump us up to band 3 if it was borderline. I'm not so sure about that after Nisbett's comments.

Wow never seen so many opposition supporters stick up for a Carlton dud
Only a Collingwood dud would come over here and think we give a shit about thier opinion of a Carlton player we want to draft. Y are you here man? I'm all for a bit if banter or constructive chatter but in true Collingwood fashion your self importance is well and truely over rated.

You're dreaming if you think we will get a pick in the top 25 for Leuenberger, Ironmonger. You should know better.

Can someone actually confirm it wasn't a typo on The Age?

How is it even possible to grab two good players with one second rounder? Can't say I have ever seen that happen before.
I can't believe there are people on here wanting to knock that back.

Where do we sign?

Band 4 for Luenberger (end of second round) - currently pick 39. AFL has definitely made a statement with the formula this year.

Demons must be absolutely laughing their asses off with the Frawley compo.

Doubt we will match it, but if we do, the pick 24 the Bombers got for Melksham looks about fair. Pick 24 for a lead ruckman.

Has the club announced whether they're matching or not? Would think there's a decent chance they will.

Does this mean you're likely to match?

Just another reason why the AFL's bullshit arbitrary 'rules' make the whole competition a joke.

I have no issue with an end-of-second-round pick in theory, but when you think about what the Demons got for Frawley, it's grossly inadequate.

Yep would definitely look at matching that. Ruckman have gone for much more than that in the past. 24 would be reasonable to me

I was going to say something similar about trying to get pick 24 off Essendon for Leuey. If it came to push and shove would people be happy to do Leuenberger and pick 39 for pick 24?

At least the Lions didn't pull a west coast and sign on the dotted line before asking "wait, what compo are we getting?"

How do we get pick 39 if we trade him instead of cashing him in for compo?
