Those guys are all in big trouble. Hard to see them holding onto their spots.

There will inevitably be another player, as the year progresses, whose performances slip away and will come under pressure. Remember there is the ever-present spectre of GC looming over the uncontracted players as well.

Recently my thoughts have drifted towards Jared Rivers being the top of the list of potential candidates they might be looking at from us. I continue to be bemused by people's fixation on GC only being interested in players born in QLD. Scott Clayton isn't an idiot.

Fair call on that.

I am not sure Rivers will buy you more than a 3rd rounder though.

Maric is lucky he has a two year contract to 2011. Jetta would want to make sure his game does not fall away.

Johnson - delist (possibly redraft with 3rd pick in National draft.)

Doh!

Haha, not a fan RR? Only reason why I think this could possibly happen is if the FD think Spencer, Gawn, Martin & Fitzpatrick are to inexperienced to be Jamar's back up for 2011. Me personally, I think he should get the chop and not be re-drafted.

That'd be fine, really. But if we're going to lose Rivers (or any other player), I'd rather have a 3rd rounder now than in 2013.

? Really?

Wont a 3rd rounder now be something like pick 65?

Agree and I dont argue on the timing just the value. I am sure you're realistic about it. Sometimes others arent.

For consistency btw years

Pick 1-16 = 1st round

Pick 17-32 = 2nd round

Pick 33-48 = 3rd round. <----Rivers

I think the most likely scenario at seasons end will be:

McDonald - retire

Green - takes McDonalds spot on veterans list

Petterd - Gold Coast (I hope not though)

Miller - delist

Bell - delsit

Johnson - delist (possibly redraft with 3rd pick in National draft.)

McKenzie - promote to senior list

Spencer - promote to senior list

Hughes? I know he's only had one game, but the FD obviously see some quality there. I'd love him to remain fit for the rest of the year, to see how well (or otherwise) he develops with an injury-free run.

Agree and I dont argue on the timing just the value. I am sure you're realistic about it. Sometimes others arent.

Pointless going back and forth debating what he might be worth in a trade, but perhaps as a frame of reference we can consider that Josh Gibson (+Pick 69) went for Picks 25 & 41.

Next year, GC's 3rd round pick is Pick 41.

However, just developing that thought a little, consider that if we have 4 spots open on our list at the end of the year we can safely assume one will go to McKenzie and then the Club must decide on whether Spencer and/or Hughes will be elevated as well as their time limits on the rookie list will be up. If we decided to elevate one or both of these guys, then we would be out of the draft after our 1st or 2nd pick, which would be around #13/14 or #30/31 assuming a mid-ladder finish. If you're still with me, you will realise that Pick 41 would be of no use to us in this draft, so perhaps in this situation it would be better for us to lose a player and receive the compensation a couple of years down the track???

If only AFL allowed trading draft picks to move up or down in drafts, so surplus picks would be of use...

I haven't forgoten about Hughes Deeoldfart, it's just going to be a question of will there be room for the club to promote him? I think we can all agree McKenzie without doubt will be promoted, and he certainly deserves it! And then I guess it will depend on how much they rate Spencer compared to Hughes? I think they'll have enough trouble promoting 2 players let alone 3.

Interesting. Its certainly a consideration. Outside the names you mention, there are no other 2010 expires that I would consider dropping off the list.

If we are only using a few picks, Rivers might come in handy to upgrade a pick, if we have pick 30 for example, we might be able to swap 30 and Rivers for 20.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
