Don't really mind the draft fixing for the two new teams, but the salary cap fixing really bugs me.

Does anybody know how long(how many years) GWS & GC have extra room in their salary caps?

    Thank God for the salary cap. Melbourne wouldn't be in existence otherwise.

    Maybe we could do the maths.

    How much have they got to spend firstly?

    Then we could work out how much they got to spend on Marqee players then kids, then try and work out another Scully thread :P

    Gold Coast draft concessions

    2011 - 48 senior list, nine rookies with $1m TPP extra allowance;

    2012 - 46 senior list, nine rookies with $800k TPP extra allowance;

    2013 - 42 senior list, nine rookies with $600k TPP extra allowance;

    2014 - 40 senior list, nine rookies with $400k TPP extra allowance;

    2015 - 38 senior list, nine rookies in line with other AFL clubs.

    The same rules apply for GWS, except pushed back a year, of course.

    So how many players do they have to delist after their first season? Is it a minimum of three draft picks you've got to take? With that and the reduction of two on the list that's five kids/broken down hacks given the boot at the end of the first year. Wonder if any of the kids will get a run elsewhere. GWS maybe!

    Yep, they'll have to delist five players a season. Plus I think a rookie can only spend two years on the rookie list, they then need to be re-rookied (?), delisted or promoted, which costs another draft pick and another player to be delisted.

    And virtually all of their list will be out of contract inside 2 years......wait for the cheque-books to appear at Collingwood and Carlton. What they are doing to Callum Ward and Tom Scully will be paid back in spades.....

    well Nathan Ablett has done his role already (get gary to play).

    So he's gone! Unless Gary has an influence on the list which i would highly doubt

    Not nescessarily; promoted rookies are now allowed to be one of your mandatory three picks.

    What about bringing in players you gain in a trade?

    Players gained via trades just muddy the waters. Under the AFL's form of socialism, you must use at least three draft picks and to do that you must have spots on your list for each of them. Last year, or was it the year before, they changed the rules and said that promoted rookies could be one of your mandatory three picks.

    On a related matter, rookies not promoted via a LTI but as a result of veteran's allowance must be promoted or delisted at the end of the season. Juice is currently in this position.

    Again muddying the waters, and if someone knows for sure, I would appreciate the information, are the rookies that can be played after the point, round 11, or 12 or so, where you can play a rookie without a LTI. I would assume that the same rules apply to them as to the ones replacing players on a LTI. That is they can go back onto the rookie list, notwithstanding any other rookie rules.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
