All 3 of Dunn, Macdonald and Sellar?

Doesn't bode well for Troy Davis...

Posted

Jetta has not really set the world on fire, he would have to be being considered to be dropped. and macdonald while serviceable could be redundant with Gillies arriving. I would think how they conduct themselves at training in the next week or so will have a big bearing on their future.

I think Jetta will remain on list as he is exactly what Neeld likes, a player who is ferocious and has a go. I really like the attributes MN is looking for in players, HE WILL MAKE US COMPETITIVE eventually.

Put all 3 on 1 year deals - let me know if otherwise.

Only Batram, Jetta, and Davis remain OOC.

We have 3 vacancies on the PL and 2 on the RL.

Posted

i would have thought Davis' position would have been under question as soon as we signed Gillies.

Hope we keep Jetta on the list

Surely Davis is a dead man walking.

That would give us 4 vacancies on the list, which, if I'm right rpfc, will be the end of it? As in, we'll re-sign Bartram and Jetta because we can, and we'll take four free spots into the drafting period?

That would enable ND4, ND49, ND53, and ND70 to be taken.

I guess the question to ask is: would Pick 70 be a better bet than Davis?

or would you scrap p70 and take someone in the PSD ? Just putting it out there. Then a possible recycled player is the competition for Davis.

Neeld is probably tipping the scales towards here and now, that wouldnt favour Davis id suggest

I'm tipping we'll go 70 over Davis, but it's really six of one, half a dozen of the other.

All I have seen of Davis was in the NAB Cup last year, but to me he looked like a good prospect. As has been mentioned, with the addition of Gillies and Pedersen, and the re-signing of Dunn and Sellar, we have an abundance of talls in the backline now. I can't see Davis getting a game in our team.

So, I think it's likely that Davis will be de-listed and we use either pick 70 or a pick in the PSD on somebody that fits the bill of what we need (midfielders or small forwards).

2013

Watts, Sylvia (UFA), Davey (RFA), Gysberts, Morton, Grimes, Taggert, Gawn, Martin, Tynan, Fitzpatrick, Nicholson, Evans, Rodan, Gillies

2012

OOC (in number order)

Bartram, Bennell, Petterd, Cook, Jurrah, MacDonald, Jetta, Davis, Sellar

Rookies (upgrade or delist)

Lawrence ®

Rookies (1 year option)

Couch, Magner, Sheahan, Williams

RFA

Moloney

UFA

Green, Rivers, Bate, and Dunn.

This is really interesting - assuming Davis goes, and Dunn, Sellar and MacDonald got 1 year, you'd have to think all 3 are on the block next year.

Who else goes, apart from Davey? I can't see us wanting to get rid of any of the others, unless Rodan is a complete bust.

On current numbers, you'd also have to think one of Jetta and Barty are in trouble this year.

Oh well, maybe we won't have any draft picks anyway, so it won't matter...

Primary List Vacancies: 4

Rookie List Vacancies: 2

IN: Viney (ND26), Hogan, Barry, Byrnes (FA), Dawes, Rodan, Pedersen, Gillies

ND4, ND49, ND,53, ND70, ND73, ND74

PSD3

OUT: Green, Moloney, Jurrah, Rivers, Gysberts, Morton, Martin, Bennell, Petterd, Cook, Bate, Batram, Sheahan ®, Williams ®, Lawrence ®

*On assumption that there will be 40 on the Primary List (with Veterans List being abolished) and 6 on the Rookie List.

**On assumption Hogan is not one of the 40 for 2013.

***If in top 25% of earners at club.

Updated.

Jetta and Davis yet to be re-signed.

12 off the PL so far and with the VL being abolished we will have 13 new players on the PL in 2013.

That is 1/3 of the list.

Would have to be unprecendented.

Remember, with Adelaide facing sanctions, pick 70 could become approx pick 68!

Value, right there.

That is a hell of a lot of turn over.

Add in Sheehan, Williams and Lawrence. 15 players!!!

And still with a possible one or even two more - Davis and Jetta.

It's little wonder then that there's has been an ex-player revolt of sorts, with a few sulky rats trying to destabilize the club from the shadows.

Purging a third of the list - including a few sacred cows - was always bound to ruffle a few feathers.

Had to be done.

Finishing effectively last with one real win suggests at least a third of the list were not good enough.

But you are correct 1/3 is a large number of changes.

To be fair, with one or two dazzling exceptions, that is also a hell of a lot of spud.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
