So you want the brats on the list, got it I think.

...but if their injuries mean they can't contribute then keep them off the list...

    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.

    We would be very unlikely to get any of the better players that are left over as we only have rookie spots left while other clubs still have spots in the pre season draft ala essendon

    While I know we have 2 picks, has the draft order been announced yet?

  • Quote

    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"

    You don't have to have rookies if you don't want to.

    I chose other, I would redraft Jai Sheahan, showed heaps in the finals at Casey (one of the few) great kick, can play either end.

    Actually I liked Leigh Williams.

    Sheehan seemed good as a flanker 3rd or 4th defender/winger, but not as a "Tough" ball player.

    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 read they are planning to re-draft him as a rookie

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
