The List Management Thread

David Hale is not a good option just more dead wood.

We'll need some experience & mature bodies to add to our depth if we want to really climb the ladder over the next 2 years, whether they be a charman to call on if PJ & Spencer are gone, or a Hale type, whilst Fitzpatrick & Gawn build on their frames.

The competition for spots will push the kids to raise their standards. And when they need to be spelled, their is a mature temp, to step up, that doesn't cost an early draft pick.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

If we trade and recruit for depth then we may as well close up shop.

Anyone we go after must be seen as being regular if not best 22.

And I would not recruit "a charman". We already have one of those called "a meesen".

Rookie age rule changes

thought Id throw this here...may have some relevance to things going forward

I hereby dub this "The Michael Newton Rule".

I hereby dub this "The Michael Newton Rule".

Looking at the AFL-CBA there are only references to minimum salaries and senior match payments for rookies. Unless the AFL have a policy which restricts this somehow (which you'd think would be unlawful) I don't see why the club couldn't negotiate an acceptable deal with Newton and keep him on the RL. The only thing I was unsure about was whether he could stay on there which it seems he can.

Not that its a total surprise, but there is now confirmation Miller will definitely be delisted at year's end.

From TheAge today: Demons development coach Brad Gotch, who is also coach of the Scorpions, said yesterday that Miller was not in Melbourne's plans for next season but was a chance for a farewell match against North Melbourne - after 133 games with the club. "Hopefully, another AFL club might look at him but if not I'm not sure what he's going to do," Gotch said.

That now confirms 3 open spots on the list)

- JMcDonald (spot opened by Green replacing him on the veterans list)

- Brad Miller

- Plus we all know Daniel Bell is a certain delisting

With McKenzie and possibly Spenser being upgraded to the senior list, the only question is how many picks we want to use.

Assuming 3 draft picks will be used (around pick 14, 35, 53ish), we therefore need to delist 1 or 2 more players.

Options include McNamara and Maric, or we may even lose a player to GC17 (Bruce? Warnock?)

This mornings Age has a report from Brad Gotch of Casey regarding Miller.

Looks like his last game with the Dees this weekend.

Paper today says that 'several clubs', including the Gold Coast, are expressing interest in Miller:

I'd be very surprised if that's true.

From the list given there, you may find:

Bail contracted to 2011

Bate re-signed to 2012

Watts deep in discussions about an extension (2013?)

[Blistering 545]

Should this thread not be moved across to the Trading and Drafts Board?

Until they're announced, they don't go on the list.

After taking into account that this years draft is a seriously comprised one

and listening to Cam Schwab last night I think we will only make the min. number of draft picks

Which I think is three!

We have a lot of picks from the previous couple of years that have not had a run due to injury etc.

e.g.Sam Blease.

I think 2011 will be about seeing which of the current crop of untried players can cut it at AFL level.

So a couple of players we all assume will go e.g. PJ may stay on the list for another year.

same here, MFC would not have delisted him if GC were interested.

[old55 23,848]

We haven't delisted him, we told him we won't be offering him a new contract. If GC offer him a contract presumably we'll get compensation. Otherwise they'll have to draft him which they could do. If there's interest from more than one club we could trade him.

[Guest watts04]

We have to be honest here and we will not get compensation for Miller.

If we do it will be like a 5th rounder which we won't use.

The only thing we would use them for would be to promote rookies I would think.

This leaves us with 7 unsigned.....

Warnock, Bruce, Jones, Johnson, Moloney, Blease, McNamara.

and go....

My list has Warnock signed through next year. Having said that, my list also had Dunn signed through next year which was evidently incorrect, so I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

Blease and Maloney i have no doubt will sign. Johnson and McNamara i feel will either be delisted (with the chance of being re-drafted, if nothing better comes along) or being re-rookied. Jones, Bruce and Warnock are very likely to continue in everyones trade talks and speculation, more so Warnock and Jones!

[e25 5]

This draft is so strong and deep, I don't think we can afford to not at least use our 2nd round draft pick.

I think PJ and McNamara have to go, with Tommy Mac a very good chance to be rookied if he hasn't been taken by the GC.

[Mousey 47]

Im hearing the interchange rule of 3 interchange and 1 sub player will definetly come in next year. This makes it very hard to pick a second ruckman on each team for a game week. I think PJ is gone. We need a player that is a big target up forward that can contribute and pinch hit in the ruck to give Jamar a rest. Surely Stef Martin and Fitzpatrick are options we already have here??

With Max Gawn and Jake Spencer as depth players just at the moment?

wish they would leave the game alone

wish they would leave the game alone

So you want to go back to 1 interchange player???
