Hey BB! Do you enjoy putting the wind up people? Or, does your keyboard simply lack a hyphen??

Happily, The big Russian did NOT resign! He re-signed...!

Agree with most but Id liek to sure up Strauss and Blease for a little bit longer as they are so young. 2 years?

See your point with the ages, but also need them to know they have to earn the longer contracts. Blease is yet to play a game and Strauss has played less than a handful. Whilst they haven't shown nothing, they need to show a lot for mine to earn the 2 year contract.

I'm afraid you're going to have to be a little harsher with the delistings there.

As you've got it pegged we're still 1 delisting short of the minimum turnover required by the AFL which is 3.

Also those you have as "trade/delist", they would only be charity trades to assist change of clubs since we wouldn't be able to use the draft picks we're getting in return. Essentially they are just delistings.

Junior should go on a high rather than painfully during next year.

McNamara, Blease, Strauss all 2 years

Spencer one year at a time. His skills are so far behind Fitzpatrick and Gawn will overtake him very quickly.

"As you've got it pegged we're still 1 delisting short of the minimum turnover required by the AFL which is 3."

So we have to de-list at least 3 players at seasons end from the senior list??

Yes.

Also keep in mind when playing fantasy manager with the list, how many picks you want to take in this year's draft.

I don't envy Tim Harrington's job one bit this year.


Wow....assuming we are promiting Jordie and (maybe (should we have 3 rucks on senior list)) Spence and we want 3 picks from the draft.....

AH THIS IS TOO HARD SOMEONE ELSE DO IT!

Thanks Tim Harrington =)

Ah, but you're forgetting that Watts is going to the GC. That takes care of the extra spot on the list. :D

great pickup! apologies!!! haha

also we are forgetting that, promoting rookies to the senior list can now be counted as one of the 3 draft picks in the national draft/psd draft.. so i would assume we would promote mckenzie with our 3rd round pick which will be in the 50's/60's, and use the 1st 2 picks. just a matter of finding 3 spots on the list,

i can see us delisting mcnamara to the rookie list, then the other 2 is maybe junior (with green to the veterans list, which counts as a rookie spot), bell gone, then its one of these johnson? miller? cheney/maric (harsh but something has to be done)

I know you're joking but watching Watts after the game there is no way he's going anywhere. Did you see him give his ball to the kid in the crowd? Delivered it and then talked and talked and talked until his team mates ran around to catch up, then doubled back to high five more of the crowd. I thought it was fantastic.


Miller, Someone to GC, Meesen, Newton, Bell, Hughes, Cheney,Mcdonald

I would expect all these to be gone at year's end. That's 6 and 2 rookies.

Harrington's job just got easier!

4 and 3 rookies Roost It.

And one of those is the unnamed GC17 paoching, which I don't think is likely to happen.

I can't see many on our list that wouldn't want to stay for the ride in the next 5 years.

You'd have to be pretty certain you wouldn't be able to claim a spot considering where we'll soon be sitting.

Look at Geelong - Byrnes, Wojcinski, Hawkins, Gamble, Varcoe, Motlop, Hogan, Djerkurra have all shown a lot of talent but not left them. The only losses of note are Mumford and Prismall over that whole period of success.

Meesen, Newton & Hughes from your list are all rookies.

You have only made 3 changes with Miller, Bell & Junior.

With McKenzie promotion that leaves a 1st & 2nd round pick. If you want Spencer as well that's only 1 pick.

Also, can people please, please stop proposing the fictional "delist to rookie list" so regularly?? It's just not going to happen this year. There is only delisting and re-signing. No in-between.

  • 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

    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.
