The PSD is quickly becoming irrelevant an I expect there to be only a couple of players picked on the 27th if any.

According to the 'passes' in the ND the following clubs have Primary List spots available: GWS (5), Syd (2), Carl (2), Rich (2), and Coll (1).

Most of those clubs will only have 38 players on their primary list because of salary cap pressures: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-11-22/swans-38player-strategy

The order at this stage (this will change with any more deletions): GWS, Coll, Rich, Carl, Syd, GWS, Rich, Carl, Syd, GWS, GWS, GWS.

It will be interesting to see how relevant the PSD is come this Wednesday...

    I would delist Nicholson and rookie him and open up the 2nd PSD pick, which is now the first live one, with GWS having declared their pick.

    I would be shocked if there isn't a better player available out there, better than Nicholson.

    Who did GWS declare?

    Who did GWS declare?

    Jed Lamb from Sydney

    Also interesting to see Sydney's current list strategy of only using 38 senior list spots, and having extra rookies.

    Offers them some flexibility, and potential cap relief.

    Matt Sully MUST be our PSD or first rookie selection. If FRAWLEY or MCDONALD go down, we have no cover !! (Pedersen only, and he makes me nervous).

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
