Pre Season Draft

Featured Replies

 

i dont understand why we would use basically an end of rnd 1 pick for him when we could have gotten him for nothing in the pre-season draft instead?

what is the advantage of getting the two later more speculative when pick 23 would have a better chance for success in what i believe has been called an "even-talent pool" at the top end

I guess that those in the know may have has word that the Saints were going for him.....maybe.

Re-draft Blease?

After saying on radio he didn't see eye to eye with Roosy's gameplan? :wacko:

Well GWS offered 4 & 7 for pick 1 and the Saints knocked it back, so.... my only hunch is they want Petracca for themselves. If they were after McCartin he'd probably still be there by pick 4.


Come on down Jake Carlisle!

Do you think the Saints would take Membrey instaed of him?

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

Just contracted for 2 years. I don't think you can rookie list in that instance?

Apparently they had 2 reasons

1. They did not want to risk losing him to the Saints in the PSD

2 and more interestingly they wanted to get him early to get an extra month's development into him.

I find this quite an interesting and lateral solution.

It possibly clarifies the clubs view on the draft outside the top 20.

A big red rock eater.

You are a natural at this, I can tell .... :blink:

Just happen to be listening to SEN about 2 hours ago. Apparently the saints were going for him in the PSD.

They put some thought into him...but only to make us pull the trigger early. They were always taking Membrey

must have missed that. i thought we were going to elevate him from rookie list but didn't realise we already had

We haven't. One of our picks is for that. I was just asking the question "Can you put someone on the rookie list if contracted for 2 years?"....and of course, why would you?

What's the situation with Winderlich? He retired but unretired and has yet to sign a contract?

Hasn't signed a contract. Could this be why we took Frost at 23? I'd be happy with that!

We wont take anyone in the PSD. We'll use our 6 picks in the national draft (including stretch/jetta picks) and two rookie draft picks and that will be all. I suspect we'll use pick 53 to target a mature age player however, eg Mitch Robinson, Jason Tutt or Taylor Hunt etc.

They will be soon delisted. Maybe Tutt won't.

This is what I think; Evans is gone, he will be paid out and replaced on the list by ND40. McKenzie or Trengove will be on thin ice and the FD will have to see whether PSD2 or ND53 is an improvement on one of those two for 2015.

Between now and the ND, we will try to lure an OOC player into the PSD where we have the first live pick with St Kilda taking Membrey. Should we be able to lure someone - we will delist McKenzie or Trengove.

If we cannot lure anyone into the PSD, we will use ND53.

If McKenzie and Trengove are delisted then we are using ND53 and PSD2.

Delisting Trenners would be pretty gutwrenching.

I reckon Geelong looked pretty awful delisting Burbury after that shocking jaw incident.

really great idea re-signing Terlich hey

this club can do literally nothing right

I was wondering whether somebody would bring that up. I just never, never, never understood where we were heading with that one and the timing was just silly.

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.

has clisby gone as well as strauss or typo?


Ahmed Saad?

Clisby is gone as well as Nicho

has clisby gone as well as strauss or typo?

The 5 that I've listed are gone and have been replaced. We are yet to here anything official about Blease or Strauss but I'm sure they are gone. Tapscott not as sure. Evans, less sure as he's contracted. Anyone else like McKenzie or Trengove is complete speculation.

I don't think it will be long for Blease and Strauss to be official. That's pick 2 and 3. Everything after that I presume will take time over the next 2 weeks.

Does anyone know about Georgiou? Will Frost coming in and the likelihood of a tall at one of the top picks, combined with Pedersen being a versatile option I don't see much point in keeping him. At the same time I understand he did a good job for us early last year.

 

We haven't. One of our picks is for that. I was just asking the question "Can you put someone on the rookie list if contracted for 2 years?"....and of course, why would you?

i'm confused now about your point (being confused is not unusual though)

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

Couldn't we arrange a deal for Blease lol? Wouldn't surprise me though.

  • 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.
