Kentfield has taken that spot

We definitely won't pick up Andrew in the draft or rookie draft. He couldn't get a game for Casey this year when he was on the list. If he stays on the list who knows he might get a game as the 23rd man. I put Melbourne players ahead of Casey players except the 23rd man has to be a Casey player but your guess on who it will be. We have 2 or 3 positions available with Pickett suspended that could go to Steele, Edwards or K.Windsor hopefully they could get some decent recruits because if they are the best 2 to 3 Casey players we are in for a long year. Casey B: Howes, Adams, Draft pick HB: Moniz-Wakefield, Derksen, Woewodin C: Billings, Laurie, Brown HF: Spargo, Kentfield, Sestan F: Fullerton, Jefferson, Draft pick FOLL: Campbell, Draft pick, Draft pick IC: Verrall, Rookie B, Steele, Edwards, 23rd man K.Windsor if we don't have a rookie B player.

I'm flattered I'll post when Derksen and Campbell become official. Doesn't sound like Owies or Peatling are coming over.

Possible squad B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, McDonald, Rivers C: Windsor, Petracca, Langdon HF: Chandler, Petty, Pickett F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Turner FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Bowey, Sparrow, Tholstrup, McAdam, Melksham Casey B: Howes, Adams, Draft pick 45 HB: Moniz-Wakefield, Derksen, Woewodin C; Billings, Laurie, Brown HF: Spargo, Kentfield, Sestan F: Fullerton, Jefferson, Draft pick 38 FOLL: Campbell, Draft pick 5, Draft pick 25 IC: Verrall, Draft pick 61, Rookie B According to the contracts list we have a full list of rookies. Maybe we might pick up Yze at 61. Pick 51 will be used on Derksen.

I'm all for Owies if it means Pickett spends more time in the midfield. What pick would we have to give to get him? B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, McDonald, Rivers C: Windsor, Pickett, Langdon HF: Petracca, Petty, Owies F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Turner FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Bowey, Sparrow, Tholstrup, Chandler, Melksham Casey B: Howes, Adams, Brown HB: Moniz-Wakefield, Derksen, Woewodin C: Billings, Laurie, Hunter HF: Spargo, Kentfield, Sestan F: McAdam, Jefferson, Fullerton FOLL: Campbell, Smillie, Hynes IC: Yze, Mentha, Verrall

Hunter is already on a deal he signed a 3 year contract. Look it up in the contracts thread.

I'd be into Parfitt costs us nothing like Campbell good depth we had no depth this year. I know people aren't gonna be rapt about getting 2 delisted free agents and a player we gave pick 50 or 60 for but I don't think it's that bad. You have to give something to get something in the trade period. It's the draft where you get excited at the draft that's where our improvement is going to come from. We could have picks 5 and 17 or 18. If the Brisbane deal comes through which means we will give up picks 25, 38, 45 and 51. Our squad could look like this: B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Rivers, McDonald, Salem C: Windsor, Smillie, Langdon HF: Petracca, Petty, Pickett F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Turner FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Bowey, Sparrow, Tholstrup, Chandler, Melksham Casey B: Howes, Adams, Brown HB: Moniz-Wakefield, Derksen, Woewodin C: Billings, Laurie, Hunter HF: Spargo, Kentfield, Sestan F: McAdam, Jefferson, Fullerton FOLL: Campbell, Hynes, Parfitt IC: Yze, Mentha, Verrall

I like this move a ruckman who can actually ruck for nothing. Unless Fort gets delisted I say go for him he adresses a need. B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, McDonald, Rivers C: Windsor, Smillie, Langdon HF: Petracca, Petty, Pickett F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Turner FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Bowey, Sparrow, Tholstrup, Chandler, Melksham Casey B: Howes, Adams, Brown HB: Moniz-Wakefield, Derksen, Woewodin C: Billings, Laurie, Hunter HF: Spargo, Kentfield, Sestan F: McAdam, Jefferson, Fullerton FOLL: Campbell, Hynes, Draft Pick IC: Yze, Mentha, Verrall If we are to go for Brisbane draft pick 17 or 18 and lose picks 25, 38, 45 and 51 we will probably have to recruit another delisted free agent hopfully we choose a midfielder with that pick hopefully Brodie from Fremantle gets the chop.

Umpiring won them the game I thought you had to tackle them to get holding the ball. Massive game against Essendon if we are 1 and 4 it's season over.

I'd try him there. Hunter and Billings have to play on the wings so there is no other spot to play him.

so our wishlist is this? B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Rivers, McDonald, Salem C: Windsor, Peatling, Langdon HF: Petracca, Petty, Pickett F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Turner FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Bowey, Sparrow, Chandler, Pick 5, Melksham Casey B: Howes, Adams, Brown HB: Moniz-Wakefield, Derksen, Woewodin C: Billings, Laurie, Hunter HF: Spargo, Kentfield, Sestaq F: McAdam, Jefferson, Fullerton FOLL: Trade, Tholstrup, Draft Pick IC: Yze, Mentha, Verrall

Do you mean Kentfield?

Who's Grantfield?

My mistake I saw 24 going to St.Kilda. Neal-Bullen for McAdam doesn't seem right we got ripped off there. I'd be asking for a future second rounder as well.

We have picks 5, 38, 45 and 50 and Derksen for pick 61 or pick 50 at worst. Adelaide don't have a second round pick so I'm expecting a future 2nd round pick for Neal-Bullen.

Can he play ruck or more importantly is he an upgrade on Fullerton? Fullerton can't ruck hopefully Derkson can do a better job.

Hunter being sign for 2025 has stuffed up my list management. 4 draft picks 3 midfielders and a CHB. An experienced ruck during the trade period. B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Rivers, McDonald, Salem C: Windsor, Pick 5, Langdon HF: Petracca, Petty, Chandler F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Turner FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Moniz-Wakefield, Sparrow, Tholstrup, McAdam, Melksham Casey B: Howes, Adams, Brown HB: Bowey, Draft pick, Woewodin C: Billings, Laurie, Hunter HF: Spargo, Kentfield, Sestan F: Yze, Jefferson, Fullerton FOLL: Trade, Draft pick, Draft pick IC: Mentha, Verrall SUS: Pickett

Rubbish. Hawthorn have been on the bottom for a while. It's drafting that has put them up there. Geelong picked up Cameron that's it if not for him they would be near the bottom.

All of them.

I don't know why Roffey had to fall on her own sword when it's Goodwin that should have. The club has had a million and one controversies and Goodwin hasn't taken responsibility for any of it. If we hadn't won a premiership he'd be gone. Another year like this and he has to go.

I think trade period is overrated anyway. How many great trade deals are done every year. 1 or 2 the rest are ordinary. We got May but we lost Hogan, we got Lever and lost 2 first rounds we were on the bottom then so that helped. We got Langdon for a second rounder a real win. Tomlinson was a dud free agent. Hunter we got for a low pick and gave us 1 good year. Billings a low pick he given us nothing. McAdam for a second rounder has been a flop. Schache was always a terrible choice never played a good game in his life never should have had 2 years on the list. I just hope we find an experienced ruckman at trade period that's willing to spend most of his time at Casey. We have to draft our way out of this mess not trade our way out of it.

I still think we can make the finals. Freo are beatable if we can't beat Freo then we are in trouble. We don't have enough good players Hore has been quiet the last 2 weeks but is easily our best player. Mackin and McNamara are good wingman, Gillard is a gun. Goldrick and Heath try but the rest have to have a good hard look at themselves. Purcell injury hurts we have no depth in the midfield. Pearce is one of the premier ruckman in the league huge loss and Harris is a big body that we are missing. Hanks last 2 years have been ordinary. Bannan and Zanker are so frustrating so much talent but when they are off they are really off. Fitzsimon is not up to AFW standard and so is Mithen so overrated I'd trade her does nothing week in week out.

I'm hoping it will be an experienced ruck through the trade period tbh.

I hope they don't have a sub next year and go with 5 on the bench.

It's hard to see Hore get a contract with Sestan getting one. We only have 1 rookie spot left unless they decide to use the full amount of rookies and less fully contracted players which will be 1 more rookie. Brayshaw got replaced by a rookie in Kentfield, so I suppose they will keep it the same unless we decide to go for the least amount of rookies which means we will have no rookie spots left. I think Yze will take the last rookie spot not including Mentha as a cat B rookie and Hore will be without a home again. B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, McDonald, Rivers C: Windsor, Pick 5, Langdon HF: Petracca, Petty, Chandler F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Turner FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Moniz-Wakefield, Sparrow, Tholstrup, McAdam, Melksham Casey B: Howes, Adams, Draft pick HB: Bowey, Draft pick, Woewodin C: Billings, Laurie, Brown HF: Spargo, Kentfield, Sestan F: Yze, Jefferson, Fullerton FOLL: Draft pick, Draft pick, Draft pick IC: Mentha, Verrall SUS: Pickett I think we will have 6 draft picks but that will be less when we go through free agency and trade period.
