Wonder when list sizes and salary cap are going to be announced - pretty crucial to the process ...

So bizarre. I can't see the AFL dramatically reducing list/cap sizes now. Not until next year. They must have given some sort indication to the clubs though. What's the hold-up? How are clubs supposed to deal with contracts and such without at least a guide? Feels like some sort of PR management exercise that I can't comprehend the motivation behind.

The soft cap is also relevant. It might just swing the balance in favour of keeping a veteran player who can be an onfield assistant coach.

What time on Thursday does the Trade period end? 2pm?

In the past they’ve turned off the fax machines at 2.00pm but who knows in 2020? 

The clubs still don’t know about list sizes and the salary cap limit going forward which is a bit of a surprise given that the (usually) loudest club Collingwood has the most at stake in that decision.

The AFL will today unveil a December 9 national draft that will see AFL club recruiters remaining in their respective states and every national draft pick selected on a single night.

But the league will make the event a two-day extravaganza by holding the pre-season and rookie drafts the following morning.

The AFL has back pedalled on having 3 mid season rookie drafts in 2021.  It will now stay with the status quo and have one.  afl-to-have-one-mid-season-rookie-draft-in-2021

"The 2021 mid-season draft has been tentatively scheduled for June 2 next year while the pre-season supplemental selection period (PSSP) will run from January 6 until March 9.

In the week before Christmas clubs can nominate a maximum of six players being considered for the PSSP to train with them from January 6 when club's senior players return".

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
