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 🙂

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
