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.

Smoking pot ,drinking beer etc is something kids do

Neeld is a total square

Because if there's someone who seems like they're up to date with the teenagers of today, it's you.

 

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?

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.

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

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

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

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.
 

Someone over at 'ology reckons the Dees are seriously considering 25 yo Ian Richardson, a small forward from Claremont who averages over 2 goals a game...

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
