Oh those guys have gone already?

how can every club already have more list changes than us FFS why do we struggle so much with moving on from players who dont perform over an extended period of time, soooo frustrating, we've genuinely got no clue what we're doing do we.

 

The CEO is conducting a review of the FD.  Probably holding off final list decisions until that's complete is a good idea?

Spargo and ANB should be retained and despite your hate... they will be retained..... Out the door should be T Mc and O Mc and Melk (sad to say cause he has bee good for us )

I actually meant all the other clubs as Turner stated every other club has delisted more players than the mfc which is incorrect, Tigers and Cats for starters haven't.

There is still plenty of time to go before it needs to be done.

so the two clubs who are still playing havent made any list changes SHOCK

garauntee 2 days after the GF they move on more players than we have in a heartbeat + theyre actually successful so they have every right to retain the majority of their lists.

Chill out.

Adelaide finished last and has only made four changes so far.

Sydney finished bottom 4 and has only made five changes.

GWS finished below us, just 3 changes so far. The Dogs barely above us, just 1 change.

Also, it's not a race or a competition and is literally irrelevant.

You are just being impatient there are other clubs besides thos 2 who haven't made more list changes.

When it comes to trades, the MFC always pays overs and frankly we are a beige underwhelming club.  May is a win, still not convinced of much else.  As usual the MFC shot itself straight through the head after losing those two games in Cairns.  I still don’t believe we manage our salary cap or have any effing clue compared to Geelong.

Looks like Beams will retire and strike a deal with Collingwood on the remaining two years of his contract.

That should free up some decent sal cap space for:  Pay DeGoey?  Keep Treloar?  Trade someone else in?

You get the feeling that they might be happy to move Treloar on IF the right deal presented itself. 

Sounds like they are pretty close to re-signing De Goey as well, so the Beams pay out might be helpful in that regard.

so rumour mill has gone pretty quiet on Nibbler after earlier rumours of dockers/crom interest

also interesting no rivals have come out re hunt given he's still ooc with the promise of a certain role

i definitely expected one more resigning announcement pre trade period - hibbo, bedford, jordon, bradtke seem pretty straight forward extensions that will happen regardless of list sizes and structures and you'd imagine they can all be negotiated with a *dependant on total budget cut clause* as i imagine most deals are atm.

This threads looks a good place to put this:

trade news

Why clubs will look to hold onto future picks

"AFL.com.au has spoken to a number of clubs and player managers recently, who have all predicted a significant reduction in the number of future picks that will be traded over the coming weeks...It will subsequently mean that more draft hopefuls will miss their chance later this year and will become eligible to return to talent pathway programs next season, adding to an already strong 2021 NAB AFL Draft crop that has recruiters excited for what's to come."

We know this years draft is compromised in so many ways which in itself is reason enough to keep future picks.

That 2021 is considered a strong draft and those that miss out this year will be in the draft next year, is another reason for clubs to keep future picks.

I'm not sure if it's already been discussed but I think we need to be aware of the possibility of some really potent forward combinations next year. If Cameron goes to Geelong and hogan to Richmond, we need to have the ability to defend against three pronged forward lines. Can lever take one of those guys? If not, and the macs go, who will our other two defenders be other than may? Smith? Tomlinson?

If we get Ben Brown, then Harrison Petty.

Makes good sense, provides potential benefits and skills, keeps those in the picture keen and somewhat responsible towards the Club. I'd retain Hunt - seldom played in his most valuable position under Goodwin - he's a forward on the run, leading, and we know he can kick 'em. 

Must agree with this assessment (and unfair misuse thereof) of Hunt. Got the talents for forward entries and penetrating kicks further forward; a great kick for goal that with specific practice and opportunity, could well be a dead-eye [censored]. Competitively fast and accelerates even more. Rednblue diehard, for mine.

Possibly, but assuming may takes Hawkins, could he take a Cameron or dangerfield? Can lever or smith take them for that matter? I'm not so sure.

I'd like to think that TMac is going to another club ... he is now injury-prone, often hampered and has given his best up until the middle of this year. As for his brother, he should have been traded years ago - not even a depth player in reality. Best wishes to Tom if he is to move on somewhere else.

Yes May-Petty for Hawkins-Cameron with Lever free to intercept or 3rd man up for the spoil.

Dangerfield or Martin forward is a different problem.

The gall of Essendon:

  • Maneuvered Brisbane to ensure they got pick #7 for Daniher
  • Are demanding # 8 from Carlton for Saad.  Won't give anything back.  LOL are furious Carlton want to split 8 for 2 later 1 st.
  • Are demanding a 1st round pick from Port for Fantasia.  Good Luck.

BUT only prepared to give:

  • a future 4th round pick for Wright.
  • a future 2nd round pick for Caldwell.  GWS think he is worth a top 10 pick

I know they are ambits but they usually get more than they deserve because clubs can't be bothered haggling over the fringes.

Hope Bulldogs take them to the cleaners with a Dunkley deal

Just to go with this, I think it was Jon Ralph who tweeted that Essendon were trumping Carlton by offering their Pick 7 in any swap deals that might come up so Carlton can't do it with their #8 pick.  How petty can you get?

And I totally agree with everything you said above.

    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
