because we had 2 MSD selections to replace LTIs we had to shed 2 extra players off our rookie list in total, so in Nietschke and declase we did that and that had us level with where we were at pre season last year then the jordon upgrade gave us the spot to take Mcvee today. AMW replaces bradtke but we could've kept him on if we'd wanted to as we can have 2B rookies regardless of the rest of our lists make up and we only have 1

idk if this is the one that'll catch on ngl

there's the lockdown defender we've been after

add a judd to the list *JMcV calling that an acronym too, if u linguists disagree... bite me 😆

i'd like to see us take another project player one of Camaniti or Rentsch who can develop for a couple years at casey given the age of Gawn, BBrown, MBrown, TMac, Daw and with Bradtke's delisting it would round off our list nicely. Also was surprised Blayne O'Laughlin didnt get picked up however i do think he looked more impressive than he actually was as he was taking kickouts for SA so got most of his touches as freebies

werridee, i want to duel, first one to type a post in all caps loses...u vs me should u choose to accept. and as i said in another thread id be giving the numbers out 2. Dunstan 21. van Rooyen 22. Woewodin 27. Howes 39. Moniz-Wakefield

if we give JVR #27 we'll have a bit of a big boy union between 25-28, hope they don't get stuck in the corner because that could get quite tight for spaces. for the record my guesses r 2. Dunstan. 21. van Rooyen. 22. Woewodin. 27. Howes. 39. Moniz-Wakefield with all existing players to hold firm

the announcement should come around 1-2pm before the pre-season and rookie drafts because as they've slipped through the national draft all the remaining NGA nominated players become instant cat B's so us, hawthorn, blues and there might've been one or two others i don't remember

i can't believe i've missed so much, definitely the most viral thing i've ever contributed to this site, not sure if thats a good brag or not but brag i shall, and happy to add HOW to the list because lets be honest the ES is unnecessary and silent anyway

the cats took a young ruck last year shannon neale and also added tsapolisis as a cat b basketballer so i can't see them taking a ruck given the age of their mids and with sav more likely to ruck full time after stanley than play forward imo

yes

don't say that! knowing them they will take it literally and then he'll be out of the system and a waste of a first rounder

thought the hawks were meant to be absolutely sold on bazzo, maybe the blues jump in here now with the jones retirement

yeh whats with this one dutchman policy we've got going on, also we seem to have a thing for the acronyms, JVR, AMW and TAJ all in one draft!

he was at a game i played in once watching some of my now famous teammates, so he's definitely seen at least one bad player :'(

cama is a mate of my brothers, started the year about 188cm and has just blasted up, kicked 9 and 6 in seperate school games this year and i guess is just sort of coming to grips with what to do with his newfound size, definition of a project player but has the skills around the ground from his midfield days so would be a good prospect

LFG

i think they need to get in on amiss before the tigers as young talls are surely high or their needs list whereas the tigers are likely to have a slightly different order of priorities in the smaller player market so if amiss is off the board at freos first pick erasmus is more likely to get through to their second pick rather than if they take erasmus first amiss is the obvious tall to take next up for richmond

butt isn't too painful

you don't take project players at pick 9...

see this annoys me and this is what the afl needs to wipe out, carlton delists cottrell & o'brien promising to re-rookie them and then upgrades kennedy (1yr as a rookie) and honey (3yrs/4possible) get promoted to the senior list... why can't they just leave as is? the same 60k still gets paid outside the salary cap regardless of who the player is thats down there? is the only reason to shove a rocket up two players clackers by delisting and relisting so they realise how close to the edge they are? pleased for hughes and Willkie who earnt their go as rookies and toiled away for 3 years to make it to the senior list and jordon for working back to his spot. also for reeves and Frederick who are proper rookies who've earnt their digs as proper traditional rookies in the sense that they're a cross code beanpole ruckman convert and a cat b multicultural prospect respectively

gawn petracca oliver may lever brown fritsch salem jackson viney

doubt it pf, we woulda just recontracted him and upgraded him if the case

hopefully being only 21yo he's still young enough to forge a career back in the nbl where he was a massive prodigy before chasing a career with the sherrin. i always thought we'd give him another 2 years to develop his size properly but the writing was on the wall when he was being thrown all around the park at vfl level except in the ruck almost like the coaches were trying to hide him, still worth the punt and as i said hopefully if he's still keen he can slide back into the basketball setup

it helps that they've just found another 700k a year to spend over the next 5 years
