A little surprised we didnt try to snag this bloke on the cheap... or maybe we did ..lol

or maybe we will.

 

Do the maths. There aren't any spots on the list - amazingly.

Which list, our list? Blease, Strauss about to be punted. Trade out other players.

Yes there is.

was geography a better subject for you BHB ??

BB doesn't the list just have to be done by list lodgement. In other words, couldn't a club secure 5 blokes in trades and then just delist 5 at list lodgement, or have I got that wrong?

yep

We only have three uncontracted players left on the list.

I've been made aware that there's a high possibility two contracted players have been told they won't be on the list next year. Be payed out and moved on

Nasher..I think the point Red is making , and I agree, is that you can MAKE room...if you really want to

Yes you can make room but I think it's a dangerous philosophy in terms of player management. It's also very costly as you need to pay out the contract and then pay for the replacement player. In a club where finances are important you'd need to be sure the cost is worthwhile.

Unless we have targets we really want or earlier picks than we currently have it seems like an expensive exercise to me.

Evans and???

McKenzie? Terlich?

McKenzie? Terlich?

Terlich was re-signed for 2 years (sigh) a few months back, so he ain't going anywhere.

It would probably be McKenzie, although Roos seems to rate him as an effective tagger. Too bad his disposal is shithouse.

There may also be a player or two moved on in a deal..not saying thats a definite but it might be in amongst the 'plays' being considered..

If the cost IS worthwhile...These day sit may well done. The cut-throat nature of these dealing have gone up a notch . Its a by product of the FA I feel.

Makes sense if we have salary cap room why not move them on and draft in some kids with late picks or mature age VFL/WAFL/SANFL in their place. There are a few who just aren't going to make it

2015

Trengove, Jamar (UFA), Garland (RFA), McKenzie, Howe, N Jones (RFA), Evans, Gawn, Fitzpatrick, Viney, Toumpas, Pedersen, Salem, Kennedy-Harris, Hunt, Cross, Bail, Riley,

Above are those contracted for next year - delist and paying out people is fraught. So make a good decision if you go down this road.

If you want anyone more than ND2, ND3, ND23 and Frost - you will need to delist one or more the above.

Unless 3 & 23 are heading elsewhere...

With Frawley and Mitch gone, Trengove's front-ended contract tapering off and having to pay min % of sal cap we might as well use it to payout players!

Uggg! I can't believe I wrote that!

What a terrible position for us to have to do that.

I know this sounds cold and heartless but I'd have no hesitation in sacking Evans.

NAB Trade Radio explains the day's trading to date as follows:-

• Dayne Beams traded from Collingwood to Brisbane. The Pies send Beams & pick 67 to Brisbane in exchange for picks 5, 25 and midfielder Jack Crisp.

• North Melbourne trade Levi Greenwood to Collingwood in exchange for pick 25.

• Heritier Lumumba traded to Melbourne.

• Mitch Clark traded to Geelong.

• Travis Varcoe traded to Collingwood.

• St Kilda trade Rhys Stanley and pick 60 to Geelong in exchange for pick 21.

As I see it -

Out: James Frawley, Shannon Byrnes, Mitch Clark, Mitch Clisby, Daniel Nicholson = 5 list spots.

In: Pick 42 (Billy Stretch), Jeff Garlett (Pick 61), Heritier Lumumba + 2 list spots. We could still trade for Sam Frost

Uncontracted to be delisted if not traded: Sam Blease, James Strauss, Luke Tapscott = 5 list spots

To come in: Pick 2, Pick 3, Pick 23, , Neville Jetta upgrade, PSD (Sam Frost) = List complete.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
