Dean Bailey and Dr. Turf on SEN Now if anyones interested.....

what did he say?

Discussing various topics, injuries, last pre season, Tom Scully (the type of player we would be interested in if we are in the position to pick him) What we want to achieve next year, manage young players well because we will be recruiting another 5 and not rush them into it and have a good run with injuries.

The man speaks well, very diplomatic.

But i am sure that he has the Respect of our playing list.

We are in good hands...

5 recruits?

Interesting.

5 recruits?

Interesting.

four on the main list, one rookie?

Picks: 1,2,18,34 and either 50 or PSD pick 1.

That doesn't surprise me considering the lack of depth in the draft, and also taking into consideration we've made more than 7 changes to our list in each season since Bailey took the reigns.

At least we'll be getting most of it done at the top end of the draft, so probably only 1 of them will be a 'speculative' type...

5 picks sounds right picks 1,2,18,34,50

ALWAYS leave a spot for PSD1, you just don't know who will still be OOC in December.

1, 2, 18, 34, and PSD1 would be it, and it is wise, if Bailey wasn't throwing off his cuff.

Absolutely. PSD 1 is a strong bargaining tool and a useful pick as well. Last year Liam Jurrah.

5? More Bailey experimenting :D

Am sure trade week will dictate final abilities

I don't know; I will leave it up to the Football Department. I remember after the draft last year CC was rumbling about re-drafting CJ as he was the best player in the PSD. What happened with Jurrah has got to be one of the greatest strokes of luck we have had in recent times; You can't expect that it will happen again.

Yep, I reckon you are on the money. Besides Robbo, Wheatley and Whelan two more players to be removed from the senior list, if Valenti is elevated three more.

Or Mcnamara and/or Cheney could be rookie listed. Could be a good option I reckon.

As I predicted. Shallow draft.

Agree. PSD1 - Anymore Liam Jurrah's out there?

I'd even be happy with another Stef Martin

I'm really hoping on some inspired indigenous recruiting

But will we be looking to pick up a young player with the PSD pick ? Will one be available?

According to various people at the Demonland get together on the w/end there was talk of recruiting another player from Central Australia in Liams territory a mid if I remember correctly.....perhaps someone else could shed some light on that....

Also means we won't have to cut a Buckley/Cheney.

5 picks suits me fine.

The advantage of having Pick 1 in the PSD is also the fact that you can see them first hand and what there capable of by inviting them down to traning.

If we want to retain Spencer we must elevate him therefore we need to cull 6 players to get 5 picks, 7 if we want Valenti...

he (bailey) infers 5 newbies but we stillhave others to accomodate.. so 5 newbies doesnt necessarily equal 5 delistings/vacancies

Yes, but I think we are right to infer that we will only use 1, 2, 18, 34, and PSD1.

Again, if he wasn't throwing it off his cuff.

Agree, perhaps mean't in the context of getting Wonaeamirri and Garland (having missed all year they are effectively "recruits") back plus 3 in the draft.

"we will be recruiting another 5" thats more than 3
