I make it that we have 33 on the list now - with Tomlinson and Joel Smith (who everyone seems to have forgotten about) probably going...so could leave 31-32.

 

So with only 2 picks, seems we would upgrade two of our rookies (McVee and AMW?) as minimum on senior list is 36.

Unless we are doing some more deals today to get in more picks...

Update for Sharp.

Again unsure at this stage of the contract lengths for Campbell and Sharp to some guesswork being employed

footywire has Campbell until 2025

Looks like we will be one short on the senior list, max 36, currently 33 with only pick 5 & 9.

You've made the point in the Trade thread, D. Misplaced/unnecessary to make it again here in this appreciated 'thread of record'.

Fair point just frustrated why our club appears to be irrelevant

I'd guess Sharp would have a minimum of two years given his age.

We have the following jumper vacancies: 10, 12, 19, 20?, 27?, 29, 30, 34, 43

Could you start a 2025 Jumper Numbers thread, like last year, with these, please, @Demonland?

20 would fit nicely on my back, pretty happy in the 42 tho, havent moved in the last 3 years so not particularly excited to move now.

List is locked in 36 snr players 32 plus mcvee and amw picks 5&9 and 6 rookies (1 to fill) and 0 catb's (2 to fill)

32 on Senior List (people forgettng Joel Smith has not been delisted (yet)).

So you'd think:

- 2 spots for pick 5 and 9
- 2 spots for McVee and AMW (Rookie upgrade)

If Smith gets delisted, then either a pick at PSD or another rookie upgrade (Kynan Brown)?

I checked the latest list after Tomlinson went, and it is 32, and Joel Smith's name is not on the list. So, 32 seniors, six rookies & 1 Cat B rookie. On the latest list Mcvee is already upgraded. The 6 rookies are Melk, Sestan, Kentfield, Brown, Hore & Verrell.

Is this on website? Where are you looking? As Smith has definitely not been delisted given the pending investigation/final list lodgment is not until mid novemeber.

No, this is a few pages back where one of our posters keeps a list of the contracts, their length, etc. It is the most up-to-date synopsis of the club. Lucifer's hero used to manage it, but she handed it over to Red and Blue forever.

Apologies, I was under the mistaken impression that Smith had already been delisted.

Fixed now.

In the absence of a contract, come 31 October (I think?) what is a player's status, then?

The interesting thing is, could Smith be the tall forward option we are looking for. Has he been suspended, how long is his suspension.  Maybe he is rookied, for 12 months and comes back after that.

How long do you need to be out of the AFL to come back as a Cat B rookie?

assuming Smith is gone (formality) and McVee is promoted, situation as I see it is a maximum of 8 spots available:

- Senior List (current 32) - 4 to 6 additional spots available

- Rookie List (6) - 0 to 2 additional spots available (1 to 3 if Hore Delisted)

- Rookie B (1) - 1 spot available

a few choices between 2 draft picks, DFA options and SPP's

- Rookie B (1) - 1 spot available

Still limited to max 44 players

Last year 36 senor 6 rookie A 2 rookie B

Now at 33 S 6A and 1B  (assumes McVee has already been upgraded)

If Smith and Hore go will be 32S 5A and 1B

If AMW  gets upgraded to senior list will be 33S 5A and 0B

This leaves following spots 3 senior 1 rookie A 2 Rookie B

There could be other combinations but I don't know the rule limiting the number of each category.  I know some clubs leave a space for mid season draft in the past, but don't know if that has changed.

Maybe they go 35, 8 and 1 if legal.

Maybe they traded those picks in the 60's because there was better value of 20 -22 year old players from other comps to be picked as rookies.

Hi red and blue forever, the club has just announced that Marty Hore has been re- signed for 2025 CatA rookie and Jake Melksham has been upgraded to the senior list. 😁😁

I imagine that means we will be taking 3 picks at the draft, with McVee also upgraded and Smith delisted? 

AMW then will be moved to the Cat A rookie list and then I’m guessing Mentha and maybe an Irish player on the Cat B list

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
