Opinion What compensation would we get for Monfries?

[Heppell21]

If Monfries does leave us during free agency than what compensation would we receive? I'm hoping that the AFL bases the compensation on what pick the player was drafted as. Monfries was drafted as pick 14 in the 2004 National Draft. If the AFL bases the compensation on the pick he was drafted as than we would receive pick 11 (directly after our first pick). This would leave us with picks 10 and 11. This would give us the opportunity to select Daniher with pick 10 and trade pick 11 and a player for Caddy. Anyone think that this is a possibility?

Goddard not enough for you?

 

[Heppell21]

Alright no Caddy for you then.

 

[BrunoV]

Goddard.

 

[Jobe Watson]

We wouldn't get anything. Because we signed Goddard that means we recieve no compensation for losing Gus, yeah?

 

[Zach Package]

we're getting nothin cos of Beej, but monfries on his own would probably command a 2nd rounder, maybe a little more considering the big fat contract port have put under his nose

LOL PICK 10

The Saints are getting pick 13 for Goddard and he was a #1 pick.

It isn't just that he was pick one either. He has basically fulfilled his potential and is comfortable the best player drafted that year.


Edit: maybe Jobe may have something to say about my last claim but I stand by it.

I think it makes more sense for Essendon to trade Monfries to Port. This way Port keeps there Pearce/Chaplin picks but in return given we've decided to do a trade instead of free agency to help Port they may give us a slightly better than normal offer, not by much, but slightly. Almost a good will gesture.

This.

Do port adelaide have any outside midfielders that we can trade for?

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Momentarily leaving aside that Goddard rules out any compensation, it appears compensation will be a function of contract dollar-value and player age, with very little else factored in.

 

[ReimDog]

- PA want monfries
- they dont want to lose their comp picks
- we dont want to lose him for free

So we trade. What do we trade is the question

 

[Jade]

Nothing mate - Goddard is our compensation (and then some).

 

[Mrs Mercuri]

Port is keen to trade for Gus so they don't lose their compo picks... I'd be happy with their 2nd round pick or a swap for someone like Ben Jacobs perhaps...

If so, I'd be looking at packaging Gus with something to grab their first round pick.

It's been all over twitter today, all the afl rumour mill accounts which are usually right on the money..

FWIW, I get the feeling the AFL will cop out and hand out individual compensation picks per free agent and not bundle them up as some at Port Adelaide might like.

Trading Monfries to Port may see them saving in the salary cap but not neccesarily in compensation picks. It will offset one of the two picks they are likely to receive from losing Chaplin > Richmond and Pearce > Fremantle. Losing the most similar pick to what was offered for Monfries to us (if that make sense?)

 

[HurlsMeister18]

Gus is an absolute certainty to take Port's offer.

 

[The Fact]

Sometimes people need to learn the rules before posting! I'm still not sure port would go for trading for Monfries unless Jacobs is 100% gone, so guess we will have to wait till next week.

 

[Zach Package]

port haven't lodged the 41 yet. so lets leave it to see if they officially throw the hat in the ring

 

[AndrewJo]

Don't accept any short odds. I hear that Monfries want to return home but wants to go to Crows.I suspect that money will not be a sticking point either..Start looking at some of the Crows boys that might fit into the Bombers. They have plenty that have good SANFL form that are AFL ready....

Or start asking the Crows who else they may want so that Tippet gets to the GC and Caddy to Essendon....

3 crows have caught my eye (out of realistic targets)
Andy Otten, Aidan Riley and Brodie Martin. Thoughts?

I like the three of them.Andy Otten and Brodie Martin are returning from serious injuries and are coming back to form.Aidan Riley is a tough nut who will be a gun. Maybe a swap for a Victorian who wishes to return home may be the go.
