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 🙂

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
