I believe Maynard takes up that spare spot on the main list??

I had already factored him in for a spot on the main list before the draft at which time we still had 6 spots available. We ended up taking 5 players in the draft so I believe that still leaves one spot on the main list. I could be wrong.

Just double checked and yes, after the draft we have 39 players on our senior list including Maynard so we can select one more player.

Also have 3 players on the rookie list - Keilty, T Smith and C Wagner. So one spot there too.

We don't have to fill the main list. Can go 39 and 5.

I assume we'll pass in the PSD and take 2 rookies. Have 39 main list. 5 A rookies. 2 B rookies.

Okay.

Pardon my ignorance but what would be the club's reasoning for having one less player on the senior list and one extra on the rookie list?

Most likely either just balancing the list profile and/or salary cap space and contracts. 

If you look at our existing rookies Tim Smith, Keilty and Corey Wagner could all easily be on the senior list. They are experienced VFL players who might well be handy enough depth on an AFL list. So it's not like we are short on experienced players in the 44. 

We've just added 4 kids and 1 mature age player in Hore, we've got 2 more picks. It's probably better to have both of those picks as rookie picks on 1 year deals so we can take chances on guys who might not work out.

I think rookie base wages aren't counted in the salary cap either so it probably saves 80k you can use elsewhere.

Haha, indeed. It's general excellence these days. The APS doesn't allow sports scholarships.

Didn't Trenners captain PAC? 

Yeah I think he did. Probably on one of those “general excellence” scholarships or his parents knew someone who knew someone. The Old Adelaide network. PAC has produced a lot of AFL footballers, boys from country SA.

Judd, Shiel, Ziebell, Goddard, T Phillips. Good pedigree. But yeah. I'm biased.

Not a bad list. Although all the APS schools have a fair crop of players. Carey, Xavier, Scotch, Haileybury, Wesley, Brighton. In the old days very few came from private schools but that has certainly changed over the past 10-15 years.

Like to see 3 Stingrays given a Casey Demons opportunity over the summer to get a spot.  Watched the TAC Cup Grand Final and believe these guys have further opportunities ahead. 

Riley Bowman - 198 cms ruck/forward. Potential to be AFL ruckman with good skills and agility  

Campbell Hustwaite - strong mid/half back.  Hibberd like attack.  Competitor.  

Lachlan McDonnell - 190cms half fwd/half back.  Lovely kick and can nail a goal from the 50.

Carlton are still rubbish. No defenders and no midfield depth. Cripps or Kreuzer get injured and Adelaide is getting Pick 1 next year.

Carlton are 2 years behind us and have built very well, 2020 onwards they come into top 8 contention. Spine is all there 40 games more into their young nucleus and they'll pick up another ruckman and a few other pieces when Murphy Kruzear and Simpson retire to fill the holes. They have a good young list

Cripps aside, who is going to and get the ball? Cripps, Docherty and possibly Curnow aside who are the definite A grade talent based on exposed potential? A lot of what if there.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
