What’s the latest now we have gotten rid of watts to port and signed flip, king and Maynard? 

What pick did we get for JW now that he is gone ? Do you know?

Posted (edited)

I've noticed in some other threads there is discussion of # of list spots etc. 

This is latest List, Contract status and Trade Summary:

 

This includes all the contract changes for our 2017 List, delistings and the arrival of Lever.

We have 3 primary list spots. 

We now have no 'B' rookies.

Its worth remembering that from next year Rookies can play senior games without waiting to be 'upgraded' for a LTI or similar.  It is a change brought in with the new CBA.

Watts and Garland depart, Balic arrives, means we have four positions available on the list.

We currently have three draft selections in the second-round (#29, #31, #36) and one in the third-round pick (#47).

However, we don't need to take four to the draft (technically we can go to the draft with two as J. Smith is being elevated). It will be interesting to see if the club has another last-minute play in mind (e.g. Kennedy as others have mentioned).

I stand to be corrected, but as I understand (and this has been mentioned a number of times), because Garland is contracted next year he remains on our list even though he has retired. Similar situation to Lumumba this year.

I think he goes off the list for the Final List Lodgement to the AFL but any 2018 money paid as part of the settlement is part of our salary cap. 

Lumumba was not on our 2017 list per se.  But because he retired after the Final List Lodgement and the AFL would not allow us to upgrade a rookie we only had 39 senior players.  Payments for 2017 would have been in our 2017 salary cap.

Below is the table post trade.

We have 4 list spots so off to the Draft with 29, 31, 36 and 47.  84 used to upgrade J Smith.

No, there should be a free spot on the list mate.

Lumumba carried on to the point where he technically retired after the final list lodgement. Thus, we were stuck with his name on our list for the year.

Hopeful that we sign Sam Collins as a delisted FA and take picks 29, 31 and 36 to the draft.

I like him, but if the footy club loved him they should've signed him now and traded 47 for a pick next year. Got to wait until draft night and see what's available at 47 before signing anyone now I think. We owe Jason Taylor a chance to really assess the draft.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
