Why is Bailey Laurie under uncertain future when he's contracted for another year...

DD36. I think after 3 years there may be some clubs asking the question and maybe some offers for him. Seemed to again not take opportunities but limited chances really. Agree it’s not likely but I’ll rate still as a possible.

    Can't see Laurie going, unless he gets a big offer elsewhere, which is unlikely.

    Upgrade Turner and McVee 🤔

    Reckon it will be 4 draft picks incl Pup Brown

    McAdam from Adelaide rumoured to have requested trade to us

    Any FAs we might be into?

    Had a good look at Duursma in tonight’s game. Just no. I remember him being the best out of the lot of the youngsters they picked up in the 2019 draft. What happened to him.

    no fear

    was always behind rozee and butters

    Lack of continuity is really hampering him. Burst on to the scene playing some decent footy (probably got up to pace faster than the other 2) and pretty much playing the same level 4 years later. 

    If you got his body right there’s still a combination of pace, endurance and contested ability (especially overhead) to make a good footballer. But with constant set backs his ball use and decision making is a mess.

    Just can’t see how you’d be brave enough to offer Port the required trade capital to get him when contracted.

    Seen some articles indicating Duursma at Port is gettable for the right price. Would be a great addition and we may be able to work something out with Grundy in play. Kind of player we sorely need. 

    We're you watching Saturday night, Duursma is f'n hopeless.

    Xavier Duursma is not exactly the toughest footballer going around

    Highly likely. Hibberd to retire. x ANNOUNCED 

    Highly likely. BBB to retire  x

    Almost certain. Dunstan - delisted x

    Unrestricted free agent  James Jordon to go x .           I think he’ll look at offers and look to get more certainty and support like Bedford did.

    Saddens me but ??? Gus… will have to reassess his health and well-being for his future ☹️ 

    —————————————————————-

    Probable. Harmesy to stay one more year. 🤔
    Probable. Melksham. One year deal. 🤔
    Possible   TMCD to obviously consider retirement though he’s internal determination means he’s likely to give it one more year   🤔

    Unclear  Kye Turner   Last man added in February. He looked ok at Casey but not certain he could step up   Given Tomlinson likely to move on, he might stay as backup key defence  🤔

    why? Signed Schache to one more year 🤯

    —————————————————————— 

    Trade options for Dees. 

    1. Grundy  - obviously the talk is there and it will have to be explored   x

    2. Tomlinson - not given chances by Goody so like Hunt/Bedford , he’ll likely select to look elsewhere x

    3. picks to trade up. 5,15,24,34  

    —————————————————————-

    probably 6-7 players to add to the list. 

    Shane McAdam trade in 

    Kynan Brown father son 

    3 other youngsters 

    additional ready to start player - trade or free agent

    This is what kills me, I think Gus hangs them up and I was on the fence about pursuing Harley Reid but I think if we lose a gun mid nose the time to grab one even though they aren’t like for like

    because the rumour is he wants to go elsewhere for more opportunities

    When will the compromised Drafts for Tasmania kick in?

    That will play a big part in clubs strategy this trade draft period.

    Laurie in my view is a long way from AFL standard very poor choice

    What rumour?

    Got his opportunity in a big final. I'd be very surprised if he leaves.

    ANB, Chandler, McAdam, Woey, Spargo, Harmes, Howes maybe, AMW and Laurie. Kynan Brown and maybe another coming in.

    Seems a bit top heavy and Laurie is the one that might leave if a trade could be done. 

    I still think Deakyn Smith could play HF or HB. I think he can make the step up. Would love to see him get a chance, maybe as sub against a weaker side next year.

    Apparently Harmes has interest from Richmond, Carlton, Sydney and Essendon.

    Hope we re sign Jordon

    Closest midfielder we have to Brayshaw

    Harmes leaving can't hurt his chances either

    If Harmes, Jordon and Dunstan all leave we'll have close to no midfield depth.

    Perhaps it will be a focus at the draft but surely we will look to bring in a mature mid like we did with Dunstan.

    JJ to Saints makes sense for both parties I reckon.

    agreed

    do we get any compo? or none cos he's effectively dfa?

    We'll get compo, he's now classified as an UFA due to being delisted previously.

    Can't imagine it will be anymore than a 3rd rounder.

    Having said that, I do wonder if there's compensation if saints offer him a base contract of like 2yrs x 100k. That may not trigger compensation.

    If we are thinking Brayshaw isn't going to play, we need to secure pick 1 and Harley Reid.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
