Hoping for one more snag, maybe Yokozuna’s mail comes to fruition about an exciting forward prospect. 

Interestingly, a few player managers were interviewed on radio leading up to trade week and they predicted this trade period could see a record number of players switching clubs. Unless they extend it until March can’t see this happening so far. 

It’s quite possible we’ll see large numbers of players changing clubs but that might happen through delisted free agent pick ups rather than via trades. 
 
We’re seeing clubs placing too high a value on some players up for trade and hence there are often no takers as other clubs take the view that they simply have to wait for players to be delisted before they strike. We will possibly get someone like Sam Murray that way and might also find that JKH and/or Stretch are let go if they can’t be traded.

What about rookie spots? Aren't they all included in the same list now? (Can't remember what the exact changes were)

Smith and Walker gone as far as rookies go.

This thread tracks contracts, arrivals and departures for listed and rookie players:

It is pinned at the top of the Main Forum.

Thanks mate, was more about those changes in how the list works with rookie spots being part of the main list now etc.

Perhaps this is slightly off topic, but does anyone else hate the word "bespoke" ?

No, they denote a standard of dress, that is sadly lacking amongst many of the population of this fair city.

I thought spokes were in bike wheels. but hey I am only a kid from Braybrook  where bikes went missing all the time.

Yes, especially when that annoying prat on the English 'Grand Designs' says it. 

I really want to smack that guy..

Are you kidding THT ???  Do we know what bespoke means ??

We must have one more deal in us because we only have  draft picks 3, 26 and 50 and we have 4 spots to fill so we will either split pick 3 or pick up Murray as a delisted free agent.


Well I like the word ‘bespoke’. Should I apologise for being different?

We have later picks than that. If needed it goes up into the 100s doesn’t it? Alternatively, you have one less on the list and pick up a DFA

we gave away 61 and 79 on the AFL website we have none left.

Stop stressing about list numbers.

We can go in one short or take another during preseason or mid year draft.

 


Interesting to see what we do with Jkh. Not mentioned in any trade news and I believe he is out of contract. He could be some value to the Crows given their max exodus. Maybe a pick in the 60s.  Port power have a few picks they may wish to give up  

It’s likely we would look at a delisted free agent or consider the pre season draft.

It did originally pertain almost exclusively to clothing (first adopted by tailors on Saville Row). Now it pertains to a friggin’ donut or dog treat.

I love it!

We need a bespoke coach or perhaps some bespoke players.

 Players that are new and original or creative or imaginative like players we haven't had in so many years.

Are we done yet?

Certainly not.

The potential trade of pick 3 for 6 plus is still on the cards.

There’s the delisted free agency period coming up, possible involvement in the pre season draft and the drafts themselves.

It would be ironic if we were looking at the pre season draft to make a play for Jack Martin given that Martin was originally drafted by the Suns as a compensation selection ahead of us when we picked up Jesse Hogan. Neither of them have really hit the heights expected of them when they were taken as 17 year olds.


I’m sure this is covered elsewhere but I would be immediately engaging the relevant person to convince Jack Martin to accept a one year deal with us for 2020. If that means delisting Stretch or JKH, so be it. No one could reasonably argue that Martin isn’t a significant upgrade on either of those two.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

    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.
