No

Yes sorry misunderstood what you said - I agree 

 

Thought he'd end up at the saints, not sure how much game time he'd get at the others

 

interesting to see we we trade for him or if the view by clubs is that we will delist him anyway and someone can pick him up for nothing as a DFA.

 

2024 squad = 45. 😭ANB (crows) BBB ()Gus (med ret) , Hunter () JS29, KFW, Schache. Tomlinson likely to go.  
37
??? Marty Hore??? Staying or delisted???

️Gawn, Petracca, Viney, May, Oliver (tbc) ❤️kozzzy  (6)

soldiers: Rivers, McVee , Lever, Windsor, JVR, Bowey, Chandler,  Fritsch, Howes, Langdon, Petty, Salem, Sparrow, Tholstrup, Turner (15)

The one more year club… ANW,  Woey jnr, KBrown,… Verrall, Sestan,  Billings, Fullarton, Spargo, Kentfield, Tmcd*, Melksham* (could be high turnover at end of 2025)  (11) 

The two more years club …  Jefferson, Adams, Laurie, McAdam (contracted to 2026) (4) and ??? Tom Campbell  - unsure of contract length

him - who?

I think it is Tomlinson.

Can't blame Lamb when we pickup no one. It was own goals that caused all that. 

 

 

Tomlinson from depth to depth?

You don’t think anyone watched Tomlinson the last few years and thought he was a best 22 player right?

Moving from Steve May’s back up to competing with Billy Frampton would be a smart move for him though.

Thought he'd be an ok Battle replacement FWIW

With Wilkie and Howard the Saints don’t need to play 3 experienced talls, depth would help but the smart long term play for them is to expose some kids.

Tx for this 

Not much of a return from old Schacke.

Same with McAdam. I wish we could move him along.

Sad about Anb.

Definitely worth keeping Milk.

Hunter can go.

 

It’s AMW please. Beaver sorry Deever!!!

I was talking about Nibbler aka Anb.


2024 squad = 45. 😭ANB (crows) BBB ()Gus (med ret) , Hunter () JS29, KFW, Schache. Tomlinson likely to go.  
8 off the list. Down to 37
??? Marty Hore??? Staying or delisted???Likely to stay with Tomlinson going. 
 

Add in Campbell and Sharp*, plus potentially another DFA (Parfitt?). Add in 4 in the draft (and leave room for Mentha as a cat B rookie).

this is the current lay of the list (u can see where i adjsuted from numerical order to adding players as they get added. 

believe mcvee and AMW* need to be upgraded at the 3yr mark

*AMW can be delisted? or moved to the A list as he's under the 10 game threshold.

so two of the grey tiles would be filled therefore blocking out a 6th and 7th 'A' rookie#

#jsmith off the list would also make way for mcvee, tomlinson for amw and then we'd be in the position of having the two ND picks and 2 'A' spots which could be filled during the draft, or by yzes boy (unlikely) or by SSP or left for MSD

Assume Tomlinson is departs.  
Asdume js29 departs. 
Assume Hore gets another year as a rookie. 
Assume McVee and AMW promoted to main list. 
37 listed. Add Campbell, Sharp, 5&9.  That’s only 41.  
Plenty of room for three further additions of DFA or draft or SSP additions (plus add Ricky Mentha as Cat B rookie). 

Departures off the 2024 squad - traded: 😭ANB (crows) BBB ()Gus (med ret) , Hunter () delisted: JS29, KFW, Schache & Tomlinson

You should list KFW completely separately because he's a B Rookie (and can only be replaced by such) while all the others are primary list players.

By all means also list Hore separately as an A Rookie too.


Quinton Narkle apparently being delisted, thoughts?

Couldn't make it at 2 clubs before, including Geelong who have proven to be incredible at identifying and developing talent. No reason to think he would work here.

Played 3 finals this year,  wouldnt grab him for best 22, but if we're after free depth does it hurt to ask the question?

Everything from our trade period suggests we aren’t that keen on free depth.

Tom Campbell was important to cover Max.

Otherwise I expect to see Laurie, Billings, Woey, AMW and even Kynan Brown, Sestan getting chances rather than Narkle level guys.

We might have 1 spot for a ready made mid if we go for 2 raw players in the draft, otherwise I expect see 5 and 9 added to the depth list too.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
