    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.  

    Just for the laughs I hope Essendon do split their picks and then Carlton find another trading partner anyway. Still rooting for Saad to walk through to the PSD and be picked up by North.

    So a nice tradable draft haul in 2020 now:

    • 2020: 26 (729), 31 (606), 33 (563), 43 (378), 50 (273), 68 (59), 69 (49)
    • 2021: 1st, 3rd, 4th

    Something has to give for Ben Brown

    Dogs

    • 2020 14 (1161), 41 (412), 54 (220) = 1793.  If JUH gets bid at pick 1 they need 2400. So they're ~600 short.

    Thanks P.  So is it a matter of the Dogs trading 14 for something that with their current picks can get them to 2400?

    I.e. if they trade 14 to us, we give them 26 (729), 31 (606), 43 (378), 68 (59) which along with picks 41 (412) and 54 (220) gets them to 2,404?

    Yes that would work, but it would be generous of us.  However they need to have as many list vacancies as they have picks going into the draft so that may be tough for them to have 6 vacancies.

    The other option open to them is to go into points deficit in 2021 if they use all their 2020 picks.  Freo did this 2019 to 2020 - the deficit comes off the first pick so Freo's 2020 1st rounder has been pushed back a couple of slots by that.

    Updated on the above.  
    Given 45 (44+cat b Bradtke) on list for 2020 then we remove 7 (assume Tmcd stays).  
    Add Ben Brown, thats 39 (38+Bradtke) on list.

    AFL says 42+cat b. So can add 4 from the draft or DFA pool.

    With trades done and dusted and the first Club lists due on Friday (and another the following Friday) I'd expect some announcements for our OOC players this week.

    State of the Nation, mfc view:

    • Current List is 40.  (36 Senior players, 3 'A' Rookies and 1 'B' Rookie)
    • Our OOC players:  3 Seniors:  Bedford, Jordon, OMc.  4 Rookies:  M. Brown 'A', Lockhart 'A', Chandler 'A' and Bradtke 'B'
    • Allowed List in 2021 is 44:  (Max of 38 Senior players, and up to 6 rookies (total of A+B).
    • Spots available is 4:  2 Senior spots and 2 rookie spot
    • Potentially 5 draft picks (18, 19, 28, 50, 89). 
    • Clubs need to take only one player at this years draft.
    • The advantage of rookies is the first $80K of their sal is not included in the sal cap.  so up to a $480k sal cap buffer.
    • afaik if we want to keep Lockhart we need to promote him to the seniors as rules don't allow 3 years as a rookie.  We can use pick 89 for this.
    • Mahoney said we would keep a list spot open eg DFA, PSSP, mid season drafts.  This would probably be a rookie spot. 

    If I had to guess on our OOC players:

    •  Bedford and maybe OMac rookied. 
    • Lockhart promoted using pick 89. 
    • M Brown and Chandler delisted. 
    • Bradtke retained. 

    This would give us an additional 1 senior spot (total of 3) and 1 additional rookie spot (total of 3).  That should cover our draftees, DFA's and a spare list spot.  And, draft picks 18, 19, 28 and 50 swapped in some way to give us 3 picks for draftees, taking 3 senior spots available.

    Footnote:  Hope my logic and arithmetic is right:cool:

    you're definitely allowed to be a rookie for 3 years i thought. isn't it after 3 you have to make a decision up or out?

    imo

    Chandler, MBrown, Lockhart all rerookied

    OMac delisted

    Nietschke, Bedford, Jordon all retained as Snr listed players

    Bradtke retained as B

    that fills 35snr players and 3A 1B rookies allowing us to pick up 3 players with currently 18, 19, 28, 50 however i expect one more trade up the first round order and then we have 1A spot to look at a delisted FA.

    if i had to make a call on one rookie to be delisted alongside OMac it would definitely be Chandler as i dont see him getting senior opportunities next year due to numerous options as a small forward. we would then delist nietschke and re-rookie him and take all 4 picks in the draft passing at 89

    yeh i get that but you're not going to reject another year if its the only chance u have of playing afl footy? 

    lockhart will get promoted next year coz we're going to see a fair few drop off the senior list for sure

  • Quote

    KK spot will be the one we hold for Mid season draft, I think someone mentioned that he can be removed off our list for this, similar to what Richmond did with Grigg to get Marlon Pickett

    I think Nietschke will be held onto as a rookie

    OMAC Delist

    Chandler Delist, cant see them keeping both Bedford and Chandler

    Delisted:  J Wagner, C Wagner (r), Dunkley (r) 

    Retired: Bennell (r)

    Traded Out: Hannan, Preuss 

    Traded In: Ben Brown  -> 45-5 = 40

    I would also delist O McDonald and Chandler (r) -> 40-2 = 38

    Nietschke to move to rookie list alongside Lockhart and Mitch Brown with Bradtke - Cat B  

    Allow 6 more additions - 18, 19, 28 & 50  + DFA + rookie pick 10 (44 on list as 39 primary list + 4 rookie A + 1 rookie Cat B)

  • Quote

    I'll email the club asking for a membership refund if they waste list spots on Mitch Brown and Oscar McDonald. I'd keep the young guys for a proper look at them under VFL conditions. Whether they go on the rookie list or even off the list entirely then back on as supplemental players once we retire KK might depend on draft picks and whether we find delisted players worth an immediate shot.

    Aaron Nietschke has been delisted with a guarantee of being placed on the rookie list.

    Unless someone else gets in first, which I know is unlikely given his injuries.

    The Age confirms we’ll be keeping Mitch Brown. Utterly stupid decision. A 5th string key forward who doesn’t compete in the air or pressure on the ground. Another wasted list spot. 
     

    How are we ever going to improve if we don’t turn over the list? We’ve got to start taking some chances on youth and untested players. Even if the odds they succeed are low at least we’ve tried some options.

    Don't mind Brown sticking around as cover for another year.

    2 Brownlow Votes last season!

    he's fourth string, definitely ahead of TMac if u go on last seasons form, also doubling up as ruck support its necessary to have ample talls as its impossible to have the same flexibility as u can with mids/forwards covering for each other when theres a stack of injuries without completely restructuring ur setup which obviously has repercussions

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
