At best currently 2 usable draft pick this year.

Six players already off the list possibly seven. (Not sure if any of those were rookies)

One player added to the list.

That leaves a shortfall of 4.

Whats the plan from here?

    Fact the team has to promote Chandler off the Rookie List to the main List, Grundy is now on the main list.

    As it stands at the moment we have 2 spots on the main list to fill and 3 rookie spots.

    If Weideman is traded then they have 3 spots on the main list they may recruit a free agent to the main list and still only require 2 picks.

    Out; Jackson, Weid, Hunt, Bedford, Rosman , Daw (r), Brown (r)

    In: Grundy, Schache 
    Chandler promoted 

    Pick 13, a late pick and 3 rookies at this stage.

    But plenty of water to go under the bridge.

    We might want some open spots for the mid season draft, or be happy to go with more rookies this year - I think you have to have a minimum of 42 players but up to 6 can be rookies. We could be trying to even out some of the big spending we've done lately (Clarry, Trac and Grundy) so we have some room next and in future years?

    Have a look at the top of page 1 on this thread:

    I haven't had time to update it for the the Grundy trade but everything else you would want to know is there for the draft and trade.

    To help read the chart for list numbers start at the bottom left corner and note the list size is fixed at 42 and 2 B rookie3s.  But the 42 can be have a flexible number of seniors and A rookies.  For the chart I have assumed the current mix of 26 senior players and 6 A rookies.

    Will do the final update after COB today.

    Any questions fire away

    Just one question, can you include the salary amount Collingwood is paying for Grundy? Ta 🙂

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
