    Righto then...

     

    That was in relation to what I said in my previous quote.

    Again, please highlight where I had a crack regarding the primary/rookie list options for any potential DFA's, as per your previous quoting of my post.

    No one suggested putting him on the rookie list...

     

    No one needed to mention the rookie list. We only have rookie spots left. 

    Why are you talking about delisting someone?

    That's not what I said you did. I just said you had a crack, you clearly did. Don't try and move the goal posts now.

    So you were uncertain if we had main list spots available? My god. I thought everyone on here would have a basic understanding of how many spots on the list we had left.

    You quoted my post about primary and rookie lists, then accused me of having a crack. There is absolutely nowhere in my post that you quoted that I was having a crack at you.

    And you reckon I'm changing the goal posts?

    This thread needs to have some of it's cartilage scraped out and to be hauled off to the Hunt for a Red Hot Ruckman section for a spot of recovery.

    Lol the misquoting is getting worse... You don't see how me asking that was leading the OP to understand the list situation?

    Wow.

    Stuart, the OP actually asked what peoples opinions of him were, specifically comparing him to Spencer.  ManDee was not saying that we should give him a place on the primary list.  Here is what ManDee asked;

    "Just delisted by EFC, is he a better FWD -Ruck option than Spencer?"

    Most people that have replied, yourself included, have indicated that if they would bring him in, that the rookie list would be the main and/or only way we would do this.  It's just that you took it that step/s further (shock horror) and implied that because Spencer was on our Primary List, that if we are looking at someone as an upgrade on him, that they would naturally have to go on the Primary List too (your post #22).

    McKernan would be ideal for us if we'd just won the last three Premierships and were looking for a replacement for a recently retired forward/ruckman while we tried to win one more. Otherwise, I can't see the point.

    Yes from me as a rookie spot. Could be interesting to see how he goes as a FB and take on the the big guys like Hawkins, Walker and Tippet. Also gives us insurance if one of the McDonald's go down.

    And Stuart, just to further confirm what a majority of posters think, you have stated the above in you post #22 that "no one suggested putting him on the rookie list".  You only had to scroll up to my post #19, which, for your benefit, I have quoted below...

    We have spots available on the rookie list if it were decided that we would look at any DFA, so no need to delist anyone, Stuart.

    Personally, I think there is zero chance that they would be looking at any of the DFAs for any spot on our primary list (as I think we have made all the changes we want to make), or the rookie list (as I think they will try their luck with a couple of project players that aren't "proven" at AFL level.

    And when you were scrolling up, you would've gone past CBDees post #20 (the very next one following my above one), where he/she stated;

    "None if we rookie him. We only have two live picks (47&69) in the main draft after promoting Wagner but we have rookie pics."

    You accuse others of misquoting.  You accuse others of changing the goal posts.  It is truly baffling.

    I think he would be worth a rookie spot, mainly as insurance but he may have some upside. I think he could do the FWD/Ruck role better than Spencer and perhaps better then Pedo.

    As a rookie who could we get to fill that FWD/Ruck role that is better than McKernan? So for me it is a yes.

    But that's assuming we don't think some combination of Watts or Weideman can do that job for us in the short to medium term. And it doesn't help us find the long term solution either.

    Don't forget Jordan Lewis bringing those 3rd man up skills over to us. Should add a new dimension to our midfield rucking stocks.

    Ha! Stu's recruiting team have suggested to the club that we should recruit Josh Green and Shaun Mckernan to the club to boost our "superstar factor."

    why do we need threads about players we're never going to recruit in a million years?

    Jeck, do we need a FWD/Ruck?

    If yes, who is available? 

    If no, you are at odds with the FD and most supporters.

    Sorry to post a thread about a player that may fit a need at our club.  And to answer your question, we have threads because we love our club and we want it to improve, we like to talk to like minded supporters and to argue about what is best for our club. Also sorry to have an opinion. Please ignore threads that you don't like and don't impose your negativity.

    We need a player who plays that position, but an AFL standard one. 

    surely there has to be some sort of filter though, we have no spots for a DFA so it's not going to happen.

    Unlike what stuie keeps suggesting, we're very unlikely to put any DFAs on the primary list.

    I haven't suggested that once, in fact I've been the one pointing out the list spaces. But nice attempt at trolling champ.

    Let me get this straight...

    I have a different opinion so i am a troll now?

    who were you planning on getting rid of to make room for these players Stu?

    To be fair to Stuart, he did belt us with the "Green on the Rookie List" line ad nauseam in that other thread, so there wouldn't be a need to delist anyone.  Green would need to nominate for the Rookie Draft though for us to get him that way.

    My concern about parking a DFA like Green (or McKernan, et al) on the rookie list is that we could be using that spot to develop an untried, speculative pick, similar to what we did with Wagner, AvB, etc (I could've gone back to the likes of Jurrah, Flash, etc, but wanted to keep it recent).

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
