Melbourne does not deserve pick No.3 as compensation for losing free agent James Frawley, Brisbane Lions chief executive Greg Swann says. There has been plenty of conjecture about the Demons compensation should Frawley officially leave the club when the free agency period opens on Friday. A compensation selection immediately after the Demons first-round pick, which is currently No.2, is one potential outcome but Swann believed that would be unfair on both his club and the rest of the AFL. We need to keep pick No.4, Swann told NAB AFL Trade Radio on Tuesday. Melbourne have done a really good job in trying to sell the world that they will get pick No.3 for James Frawley and that pushes us back to No. 5 and that has a little bit of an effect on our ability to trade as well. I know (Paul Roos) said that everyone he speaks to thinks that pick No.3 is a fair pick but we certainly dont. We would have thought an end of first round would be best for James. Brisbane are expected to send pick four to Collingwood as part of a deal to secure Dayne Beams.
