Pre Season Draft

Can anyone explain what happened to Todd Banfield (Bris/Richmond) - he started his career on red-headed fire then went absolutely nowhere.

Also Brett Goodes had a pretty swift fall from grace after being nearly their best player early in 2013.

Thats interesting actually, won the Norm Goss Medal in the VFL grand final, now delisted. Would have a look!

 

The more highly rated delistees are yet to hit the books.

Ahh right, he's 30


1995 had an interesting one.

2004 number 12 also.

1996 too ;)

So far we have 0 list spots.

And picks 2, 3, 40, 53, PSD 2.

Unless we get to 4 delistings we wont use it.

So far I can only see 3 delistings - Blease, Strauss, Tapscott

Some of the rookies will probably be delisted as well as the 3 above

 

Georgiou, King and Harmes on shaky ground!

Georgiou, King and Harmes on shaky ground!

Doubt Harmes is...


In answer to GRRM don't we only have 36 players on our primary list at the moment 9including Clark and Frawley)?

This is a good pick to have. This year, at least. It's still a loaded weapon to have up our sleeve.

I'm very pleased the club held its nerve on not trading picks 2 or 3 in the ND when it became clear we weren't going to land a Dangerfield/Kennedy/Shiel etc.

That should read (including....

So.....any riddles....... :unsure:

What is big and red and eats rocks?

5 left; Clark, Frawley, Byrnes, Clisby, Nicholson. 5 came: Stretch, Jetta, Lumumba, Garlett, Frost.

Any player we delist from here on will then free up a draft spot. There are 3 obvious names and 3 obvious picks - 2, 3, 40. After that there are guys who could be paid out. Whether we would rather use pick 53 or PSD 2 obviously depends who is available at each spot. I could Jason Taylor and the rest of our recruiting team pushing to use a draft pick at 53 than wait for the PSD.

Mitch Robinson. Football wise we could do a lot worse. DH wise not so much. He would be in our starting 22

Don't scream but if JT is out for the season then we delist him and rookie him. He gets his money without pressure of a list spot. No one will take him before our last rookie pick as his salary would prohibit it. If someone wanted to give him a longer and better contract that would be great for JT and we would oblige.

I think Evans could also be delisted and rookied on the same basis as JT.

That then covers all draft and PSD picks and if we take a DFA we adjust our use of picks accordingly.

or leave jetta on rookie list with a pay rise and a promise to go on list 2016, with guaranteed rookie upgrade 2015 for trenner's LTI

much less fuss that way

I don't believe we'll be messing about at the bottom of the list to gain a minimal advantage and annoy the whole list.

Jetta will be upgraded, bet the rent. Jack T will go LTL - pushing him to the rookie list would be rightly seen as callous.

There would have to be some mighty good rookies out there for us to write off our investment in Georgiou, Harmes and King, unless someone has a reasoned case for calling them list-clogging spuds. Add a new rookie and let them all vie for the available promotion.

I recall writing something similar a couple of days ago, but sometimes the obvious takes time.

Is Mitch Brown OOC? Lyons from the Crows?

I want us to explore this. There is value in the Frost deal if we use 40 AND 53 AND PSD2

In fact, we would be winners if we can get 4 players - 1 or 2 in the best 22 - for ND23.

well if we do all that then there was no point in gaining pick 53

unless you are saying to cut a contracted player(s) and pay him out

we are just exploring the options

Edited by daisycutter

Delisted free agents can just be signed instantly so if we have our eye on someone it has to be someone who can't work out a contract but the club doesn't want to delist them or a player from another comp. My guess is Ahmed Saad or Jarryd Lyons. Either would be a good pick up but I would be pretty happy with Lyons.

  • 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.

    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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
