Latest murmurings of a crazy time

Again, you people should see a red light when reading this rumour - Prismall and Pick 75?

What purpose would Pick 75 be to a team that is getting out of the draft?

It's BS.

If it doesn't make sense, you must not dispense...continued words on the matter.

I have a question...

each team is aloud 44(or whatever it is) players on their list including rookies.

Is hogan counted in that? he cant play until 2014 by afl rules so if he does then effectivly next year we are one player short? or is he not counted in the 44 until 2014? (i.e we actually get to have 45 on our list one of which is ineligable to play)

It's to offer to north for Pederson.

We don't want to be seen as paying overs.

He is not on our list until 2014.

Obviously about 99 percent of the rumors flying around are BS.

Has Neeld come out and stated that we are only using x amount of picks in the draft? It could eventuate that a kid he had his eye on is still available at a late pick (75 or whatever) when he wasnt expected to be so we take him. We won't know until we get to draft time.

The actions of the club tell me we will be small players at the draft.

Pick 49, 63, and 70 are our picks. For Pick 75 to come into play would be astounding:

With the way the Primary List stands at the minute we have 1 vacancy. If we elevated Nicho and Evans, took ND4 and Pick 49, brought in zero net palyers in the draft (Pedersen/Ray for Martin/Gys is a wash for example), wanted to keep PSD3 open and sign 1 Delisted FA (as we seem to be keen on considering Rodan was seen at AAMI) we would have to clear 5 players (on top of those gone already: Moloney, Green, Jurrah, and Rivers) to do just that. If we were to use 63, 70, and 75 - we would have to clear 8 players.

Bennell, Cook, Bate, Petterd, Davis, MacDonald, Jetta, Batram, Dunn and Bail are OOC.

Keep 2 - delete the rest - and Pick 75 might be in the frame.

Again, not going to happen, Pick 75 is useless to us.

BS trade.

rpfc the above makes more sense that most of what I have read on trading threads in the last three weeks.

But can you stop please

I am having trouble with common sense being stated on here.

Although I don't think delisting 6 to 8 players is that unbelievable, I agree that there isn't much chance of us actually using a pick as low as 75 in the draft.

If nothing else, well done and thanks for keeping up with where the list is at. I'm assuming you are counting Viney as already being on the list.

I think if the more reasonable trades happen, we're likely to see Pedersen and Ray in for the loss of Martin, so post trades we'll have zero free spots. I think the most likely scenario from here is Pick 4, Nicho, Evans, Free Agent, PSD #3; 5 more players to delist. On that, I have Macdonald, Jetta, Bartram, Dunn and Bail hanging on by the skin of their teeth.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you haven't accounted for Viney, Dawes and Byrnes incoming. Not to mention the rookie situation, with Lawrence gone and reportedly Sheehan being moved on.

Neeld mentioned the numbers of list changes in the Hogan press conference. Obviously all hypothetical but he mentioned 12. Said something like 5-6 kids & 4-6 experienced players.

Do clubs still need to take a minimum of 3 players from the draft? That being pick 4, Viney and next available.

You need a minimum of 3 picks but upgrades from the rookie list count.

Sheahan is on the RL.

I had counted for all incoming players. It's a running total of confirmed in/outs. Right now we have 1 vacancy.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
