And I have said in a previous post I really like the look of Jayen Laverde and from a 5 minute clip I like the look at what I see.

Isnt this how we got JON
lol. ah fj and miller what a team.

imo i reckon laverde a very good player. just love his versatility athleticism  and geez hes a great size.
only concern i have and its minor is atm id say hes not a  proven mid in the sense that fyfe was always a mid but his versatility athleticism and size enables him to play fwd.atm laverde is the other way around. sorry havent said that at all well. but im too lazy to try again.

Laverde is just what we need. I think the problem is that he won't be there at pick 11.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

It hasn't been decided by the AFL yet but Shifter Sheehan just said Melbourne's compo for losing Frawley could be mid-first round (around pick 10). So potentially we could be pushed back one to 12.

Since when has that been an actual level of compensation? AFL just making it up as they go.  :lol

The argument is pick 3 is too much compo for Frawley while an end of round 1 or early round 2 pick is too low compo. So the AFL will go down the middle.

Geelongd receive a mid-first round pick as well as another first round pick as compo for losing Ablett.

Yeah but the compo for this is supposed to be different. There was no mid-1st rounder. It's supposed to be a pick after the teams pick which was a joke and was shown to be with the Daisy and Buddy compensation last year.

Hopefully it permanently stays as a mid 1st rounder as the original teams ladder position shouldn't affect the value of a player leaving. It's just funny that they just change it as they feel like it.

Compo is stupid and should be removed or at least end of the round. If one bloke decides to leave his club for another club it has nothing to do with the other 16 clubs, so why should they be penalised? It's free agency.

Have to say I was peeved the TAC grand final wasn't on TV yesterday  >:(

I was all set to make my drafting decisions based on that game and the networks ruined everything
