10-15...same as last year....Gotta keep turning this list over until it believes and works hard

Match Day Hard.

Take away Rodan, Byrnes, Gillies and Pedersen and the number of changes is a lot less last year. I think that will be reflected this year.

We only have to look at results to see that this list does need multiple changes. But putting VFL level footballers with no scope on your list is a complete waste as well - See Magner, Sellar and Couch.

For every player you delist you have to factor in who will be available to replace them. If Free Agency was stacked with talent heading for Melbourne and the draft was deep then I'd be all for big numbers.

Hogan, Draft picks round 1-4, (+/- Priority Pick), PSD, Free Agent is 8 primary list changes. And I'm not convinced yet by Clisby that he warrant immediate rookie promotion.

So I'd say 7-8 delistings from the primary list would max it out with potential for a couple of trades.

2 out of 3 if not 3/3 on Gillies, Sellar, Davis

Rodan or Davey if not both

Tynan

Jetta

Macdonald

Nicholson

Leading trade candidates remain Strauss, Tapscott, Blease and Watts.

Isn't Pedometer on a 3 year deal? Who'd match that or accept our crappy list management and take that contract on board? I'd also like to get rid of Byrnes, but he has another year to go as well.

Davey maybe 1 more year on very little money.

The others mentioned so far... meh.

Why on earth tade Watts after he has announced that he wishes to stay? Not only does it not send a positive message to the rest of the playing group but it confirms to the AFL that we have little regard for No. 1 Draft picks and consequently would most likely waste any PP that they were contemplating!

I would have thought you could add Spencer and Fitzpatrick to the trade bait pile - although I assume no more than one of Jamar, Spencer and Fitzy will leave. I'm not against keeping Spencer and Fitzpatrick - it's just that we know a number of teams need ruckmen and we need a midfield. There may be mutually beneficial outcomes available.

Alf...all of this is sorta being discussed over here http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/topic/34429-list-management-2013/page-2#entry786726

cheers

Alf - this thread is over in the Draft Board.

Change your 'Favourites' Demonland link to this (http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?/forum/1-demonland/) and you will be able to navigate between the two Boards better.

splitting hairs there rpfc on window vs tab

a single instance of an app can have multiple windows (some call them tabs if the app is a browser)

of course multiple instances of an app also results in multiple windows

of course too, you can't view two tabs in the same browser instance at the same time, as you could with multiple instances

YMMV

I fail to see how we can trade Pederson , the guys got 2 yrs to go after this season, no club will take him for 2 seasons, most teams wouldn't even waste a rookie pick on him, Mark Neeld made some very disappointing and bizarre decisions.

I agree. A total waste of a spot, of money and this years entry to the "most bizarre and/or dhead things to do award "

I dont blame him, I blame us ( MFC)

maybe mods can merge this with that other thread ?

Was disappointed with Pederson yesterday. In the first 1/4 yesterday he had to be told by Hogan to stop being lazy and get in the ruck contest. We have him another 2 years. No club will want him

There's three posts on topic, I think I'll just close it.

    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
