I reckon we will take two in the ND, Brown as a Rookie and leave a spot for a DFA or SSP player.

Surely someone drafts Brown in the ND and we have to match

Quite possible, even probable maybe, but it's not a stretch to see him miss out at the national draft in my view.

According to your latest chart we have 35 senior spots and 3 A Rookiies.   B rookies are full.

If Melksham goes to Rookie then it is 34 and 4.

That leaves 4 spots vacant in any selections we make in whatever category regardless of whether Melksham is rookied.

We usually only have 36 senior positions.

Interesting times.

 

Daniel Turner will receive a promotion on a 2 year deal.

Senior list upgrade?

That's right. Expect his and AMW extensions to be announced shortly. 

@Lucifers Hero we've got lost lodgement deadlines on Tuesday 31 at 2pm and again before the draft on 14 Nov.

Do you know if the club needs to declare it's list make up (i.e. 36/6 or 37/5) at one of those list lodgements? Or are we free to go the draft do our thing as long as the outcome fits within the rules?

If it's the former, then I suspect the club are playing it like this:

- the club is going to wait and see what happens on draft night.

- if we can get Brown as a Rookie (ie no one else bids) then we'll do that.

- if a bid comes 56 or later, I think that thanks to the 20% points discount, he can match for free - presuming we have a list spot left.

-if our draft hand stays exactly as it is, and we can manage any other trades, it will depend on whether we rate Brown at 42 or would prefer someone else. But based on Tim Lambs comments I can't see us using 42 as well as 6 and 11, unless it's for Brown 

- So my guess is that strategy around selection otherwise (ie before pick 56) will depend on any trades we were able to make to improve our top picks, and whether they give us any pick in the 50s or 60s back that will enable us to match a bid

- In short: we'll take him if we can, but we aren't stock piling assets for him, we are trying to get the best top end talent.

Correct

No need to declare the Seniors/A rookie mix.  It will be known after the draft.

If it's the former, then I suspect the club are playing it like this:

- the club is going to wait and see what happens on draft night.  Agreed.

- if we can get Brown as a Rookie (ie no one else bids) then we'll do that.  I haven't seen anything that says we will take Brown.  F/S nominations close tomorrow so we should know then.  That nothing has been reported suggests we may not or else just poor info from AFL who publish the lists.

- if a bid comes 56 or later, I think that thanks to the 20% points discount, he can match for free - presuming we have a list spot left.  We still need to use a draft pick but it could be 93, which will come in to about pick 60 after the other Academy and F/S bids have been matched and clubs pass on picks over 50.  That is what happened to get Woewoden.  Yes we still need a list spot. 

-if our draft hand stays exactly as it is, and we can manage any other trades, it will depend on whether we rate Brown at 42 or would prefer someone else. But based on Tim Lambs comments.  I can't see us using 42 as well as 6 and 11, unless it's for Brown.  I can't see us taking Brown at 42.  With relatively flat second round talent 42 is a valuable pick.  I reckon It will be used in a pick upgrade (into top 10), pick swap or cashed in for 2024 picks. 

- So my guess is that strategy around selection otherwise (ie before pick 56) will depend on any trades we were able to make to improve our top picks, and whether they give us any pick in the 50s or 60s back that will enable us to match a bid.  Agreed.

- In short: we'll take him if we can, but we aren't stock piling assets for him, we are trying to get the best top end talent. Agreed....I'm not seeing intent to create a list spot for him but as you suggest we can go from a mix of 36/6 to 37/5.

To clarify: my post was just my speculation mixed in with the actual AFL list rules.

Thanks for your thoughts!

It seems we are pretty much on the same page.

Oh your answers were great Luci, good to bounce!

My speculation was about whether we'd take Brown or not!

Updates:

  • Melksham becoming an A Rookie
  • Turner changed to a 2 year contract on advice from @Dannyz
  • Contract terms updated for Billings, McAdam and Fullarton thanks to info from @DeeTeez

image.png.0557afee957e185117fcb6236cbdc446.png

This means there are no more uncontracted players.

Today is the closing date for F/S nominations and have yet to see anything on Brown so not sure we will be taking him on a F/S basis.  That doesn't mean we wouldn't draft him, just that we are not committed to do so.

Based on recent mix of 36 senior players and 6 A rookies we now have two senior list spots and two A rookie spots

Andy Moniz Wakefield yet to be confirmed by the club is that right?

Correct.

  • 3 weeks later...

Not a difficult re-signing list for 2024.

Hardest choice perhaps is do you give Langdon 3 or 4 years and how long for Joel Smith.

Laurie is trending for no contract but he might surprise.

Money for Tom Sparrow could be a minor issue (At age 24 this is a key contract for him)

Will Tomlinson get another year... my guess is yes if he wants one.

Out of curiosity is Charlie Spargo really a UFA in 2025 or is it a typo?

Great job LH as always !!

Yes, Charlie is a free agent in 2025 - he will have been with the club for 8 years at that stage.

I'm guessing he isn't in our top 10 most highly paid players which means he would be an UFA

 

By the way there is a new 2024 thread and the link is in the next post.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
