GWS picked up a compo pick to be used after their first round pick as part of their 17yo trading last year, came from Adelaide I think.

Doesn't that mean it comes after Adelaide's first pick, not their own?

Yep liz is correct. Draft order:

1 GWS
2 GC
3 MELB
4 MELB
5 WB
6 WB
7 PA
8 BRIS
9 RICH
10 ESS
11 CARL
12 STK
13 MELB

Conceding that late behind means Richmond pick at 9 instead of 11, Bombers and Blues move down 1 spot

Richmond still manage to end up in 9th place one way or the other.

We have a lot of dead wood on our list that needs a clean out. TDL, White, Seaby, Moore are never going to be senior players. Delist /trade they lot of them. Keep Morton and Walsh for one more year tops. Armstrong has 2 years to prove himself.

We might find enough cap room to go after a free agent forward after that.

Question on compensation for uncontracted players

Let's say that:

1. Moore gets picked up by Port Adelaide under the free agency, and
2. Seaby goes to GWS under the one uncontracted player per club deal

Do we get compensation picks for each of these players?

Lets say a supermodel wants to look after me into retirement.

Moore will retire and coach with the Swans;

Seaby will not be wanted by anyone. GWS will have Bogan play another year.

That's what happened to me, so sometimes you just get lucky.

Although my question was a hypothetical to clarify the rules, there has actually been talk about both of those things happening. Moore is still quite a good player and would be great at Port, and maybe even a future captain. It's his home town and they desperately need leadership. I think Bogan is going to retire, so Seaby would go to GWS without them paying any compensation, as I understand. And he still has a few years left in him. I would definitely drop Bogan and take Seaby in his place.

Maybe not probable, but certainly possible. Not much loss for either team to pick them up.

Is Moore from Port? He played junior footy with Langwarrin in Vic...

Then Oakleigh Chargers in TAC Cup I believe. By the way The Wallet didn't draft him to Richmond because he said he was too slow. One The Wallet got right.

[Ludwig]

Yes, you're right. Maybe I was thinking about Tim Schmidt. But I did read something that Port were interested in him.

Anyway, still interested in what the compensation rules are.

That would be right with a name like Ludwig.

Key forward (duh), athletic/modern ruckman (Pyke 28, Seaby past it), key back (for post-Ted days), classy/speedy outside mid.
Past few drafts we've gone for utilities (Lockyer, Brown, AJ) and a mid-sized fwd (Lamb). Would imagine we'd target these areas, or grab a best available if there's a slider.

...although it's effectively only one spot as Essendon already have Daniher Jr locked away as their father-son pick. He'd have gone 2nd or possibly 1st from all accounts.

I'd like us getting a decent sized key forward - a mature body who could slot in and provide some support to Reid up forward. Anyone know much about this Lee bloke from the WAFL? Sounds like he could be ok? Not expecting miracles but another target up forward would be handy...

It would be good to find a mature VFL, SANFL or WAFL tall forward (as Geelong did with Podsiadly) with potential to thrive in Bloods culture.
