Two horse race between Colquhoun & Garlett with only 4 votes in it at this point.

As people have mentioned, Garlett could be a star. However he could also be a cancer. For me the negatives outweight the poisitives. We've already picked up Viney, Hogan & Toumpas this off season, I don't see the need to risk someone like Garlett personally. Also as mentioned he doesn't fit into the 4 pillars of drafting that we've been using, so I just can't see it happening.

As I mentioned earlier I'd be more inclined to go with Colquhoun myself with Haynes as my 2nd option. I've also been suprised at the lack of love for Wilkins. A lot of upside there I reckon.

Thought about it a little bit more today and after reading Swampfox's post regarding a pick up of a 200 cm ruckman, they may very well select Hannath if he trains well (of course), but the

second selection may very well be Ben Warren after hearing all that chatter during trade week.

Can anyone please tell me do we need to take two rookies or can we take one PSD and one rookie, as I thought we had the ability to mix up the number of players we have on the main list and rookie list as long as the total is 42 or 44. The reason I ask is that I thought we would have had pick 3 in both the PSD and rookie list which maybe a better option than pick 3 and pick 21 (or so) in the rookie draft.

Can someone please clarify the rules for me.

You can have as low as 38 primary list players and as high as 40. You can have as high as 6 rookies and as low as 0. The max amount of players you can have is 44.

We have 40 primary list players and 2 rookies, therefore we can only take 2 more rookies.

are you sure about the "as low as 0" bit? I thought it was "as low as 4"

Peter Yagmoor (just delisted by Collingwood).

I watched him live at Blacktown during last years NAB Cup and he was really good as a small defender. He won shedloads of ball, is a good user of the pill and appears to be a good athlete.

I reckon Collingwood will regret delisting him.

That is all.

I like the look of JASON PONGRACIC, seen a bit of him and looks the goods!

DOB: 21/04/94

Height: 183cm

Terrible club culture at the Stingrays-we've made the same mistake before.

Agree .... he would be handy in red and blue. But Hannah and Nick Rippon for me

Can someone please explain what is the point of clubs delisting players and then saying, oh don't worry we'll pick them up in the rookie draft (if no-one else is interested)

Are they basically saying - you're alright, but we are going to see if we can get a better player, but if not, you're our fallback?

I think we did it with newton and meeson a couple of years ago, and a few clubs are doing it this year...

They do this so they can free up a spot on the senior list and redraft them on the rookie list.

the reason they did that with newton is because he had a contact, they wanted to delist him, but could not offord to pay him out.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
