With the conclusion of Trade Week can someone please find out what draft picks the club now holds and how many players we still need to move on to use those draft picks?

Additionally, what do you think will happen now with guys like Maric and Dunn?

Picks 36, 52 and 54.

With Scully and Warnock out, and Clark in, that leaves 2 players that need to go. Maric, Wonna and MacDonald remain uncontracted. I think the first two of these names will be delisted from the primary list.

Agree that Maric seems likely to be delisted. (to be picked up by Nth in the draft) I suspect that we might offload a rookie or two, and Wonna might be re-listed as a rookie... would be a rough call to delist MacDonald, but it's possible I guess.

Sorry to disagree with you IWAP but the AFL website says our picks are 36, 54, 72 and 90

Dunn is at the Dees for 2012. He has a contarct and cannot be moved now.

We got pick 52 for Warnock, but you are right we do have picks 72 and 90. I just don't think we'll use them (unless we want to deslist more players)

Surely Maric is delisted, then we delist Wona with the thought of picking him up again as a rookie. It'd be cruel to delist Joel Mac. Is supurb back up and just a class act and genuine good bloke to have around the club.

and it wouldnt be cruel to delist wona and pick him up on cheap money after the club has supported his struggle with his loss this year and convinced him to return to the club?

This might come down to a long hard talk between Wonna and Mark Neeld to see where he is at, is it fair to keep Wonna at the expense of his teammates if he may never realistically play again?

This is the big question will he play AFL again?

I have my doubts,

Jetta may have moved in front of him for a spot.

We also know Jetta definately wants to be here.

No. Put yourself in Aussie's shoes. If I were him, I would feel gratitude to the club that supported me through tough times. I would recognise that I owe them, not the other way around.

Agreed. Aussie has had a tough year, and I feel for him. But the reality of the situation, is if he is retained on the primary list, someone else will have to be delisted (eg. Joel Macdonald). I don’t think its fair to anyone, including Aussie, if he is retained purely because of compassionate circumstances. I think a delist, and a rookie contract (potentially on the same money) will be in everyone’s interest.

I highly doubt anyone else will draft him without his blessing.

The AFL is a cruel world.

We have shown a lot of sympathy to Aussie over his 4 years at the club.

His total is 26 games and IMO probably only 6 -7 games that I could say he was good and justified his spot in the team.

leaving aside his problems this season he has been constantly injured ( even ended this season injured ) or over weight.

I think the end is nigh for Aussie, if he stays on the list or is Rookied he will want to have a very big 2012.

Incredibly disappointed we didn't trade Bate for this exact reason. Not only would have opened up a spot on the list but also would have given him a fresh opportunity to play AFL football elsewhere, rather than spend another year down at Casey...

Maric seems like a no-brainer as wants out & is not under contract but who will be the last player we move on? Can't see it being 'The Celebrator' with our lack of small forwards (not to mention Maric also likely on the way out), and would hope it isn't MacDonald who was one of the few players of the Bailey era with a hard-edge & can provide the defensive depth needed now that Warnock has left.

I would be annoyed if we refused to move Bate on for pick 39, then moved Wonna on so we can draft with pick 54.

What's the status of Spencer's contract? Surely he's OOC? He must be on the chopping block too, right? I mean, we've got Jamar, Martin and Gawn, with Clark as well. Not entirely sure if Spencer is worth too much to us anymore. And I see far more value on Wonna than in Spencer.

Dunn's contracted I'm guessing, otherwise he should go.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
