Turner

probably should have called time but i have so much respect for how he's carried us and as people have said if anyone deserves 300 its him

no it will be evenly distributed between himself AVB and hunt :)))

also worth noting Bradtke wasn't listed in an official afl.com.au website about every clubs OOC around grand final week, its been linked in here before so might not expect any formal announcement about it

idk why everyone is so outraged by keeping mbrown, petty is absolutely going back next year potentially tmac too and tomlinson back to a wing over pre season and into the opening month. and if we delist mbrown we're going to have to draft a mature ruck anyway so we may as well follow the st kilda model of playing two flexible ruck/forwards instead particularly bcoz we need to manage jacksons load in the ruck

if i asked who would u prefer as a rookie jay lockhart or derek eggmolesse-smith who would u all pick

Yeh no i do agree with that but we cant get a head start because we don't have the list space atm, i agree with wagners and its a healthy FA market with zerrett/jelly as outside players off the top of the head. glad to know ur not big on hunt (can't believe he's gonna be a 9yr player when his deals up!!!!) we'll trade back into the first round for our future first again next year and the year after that and so forth

the list will turn over dramatically next year, further reductions, 3 impending retirements, 2 players coming OOC that we happily shopped around late this year and up to 4 players with a combined 4 games from the 2018 draft on the block too, throw in other NQR players on the list and i can see a couple big FA/trade moves on the cards for us. Alternatively we could do what we always do and sign half of them up for another season ;) i think he will move on after next season and we will draft another tall then. also if ur complaining about battlers wasting space i'd love to know how u saw hunts 2yr deal off the back of 6 games for the season? and what u expect him to deliver over those two years

definitely more suited to a HB spot pushing riv or salo up imo, i'd potentially give him a year if no other DFA's appeal to us, certainly good depth if nieta doesnt come back and we know nev is in decline, and KK is not an option. with a lack of depth in that area but i'd prefer hore got a chance but if hibbo does start to really slow down it could be handy, wouldn't expect him to play many games however. Egg-Smith has done his 3yrs on the rookie list at richmond so will have to be delisted and re-rookied or upgraded (to a bulging snr list) so if he became available he would be my preference. + i'm a big narkle fan too at the other end of the ground. would definitely have the chat to him tho, may not move at 31 for 1 season with a young family and look to take on a mentorring or indigenous support role off field over there in the west maybe alongside jamie bennell instead

i disagree, this year he refused to even crash packs and lead up at the footy dont care how heavy u are u can at least put effort in. and if his foot wasn't right well why did he play at all. re dunny, i think the time was right given the direction of the club to look at a younger promising alternative who was the same age profile as the rest of the list, just a shame that Omac didnt come on the way we would have liked, its a shame we flicked frosty and not Omac when we had the chance last summer but the correct decision has been made now and its over to u Mr Petty to make CHB ur own because i've seen enough of Smith back there for now

why is it necessary to try and take some sort of moral high ground like you've never muttered a single bad word about anybody before in ur life. people are allowed to express their displeasure at players performance and skills and acknowledge when changes are made as a result because ultimately were all after the ultimate success and we like seeing the club take steps to reach that

i think as soon as after the draft when the first SPP period opens we can make him inactive effectively having a list of 45 players for all of next season including KK or the full 44 without him

he's fourth string, definitely ahead of TMac if u go on last seasons form, also doubling up as ruck support its necessary to have ample talls as its impossible to have the same flexibility as u can with mids/forwards covering for each other when theres a stack of injuries without completely restructuring ur setup which obviously has repercussions

geez u have to remain nervous, 2023 sounds like the perfect time to partner him alongside oscar allen and phase jack darling out if u ask me, hopefully we make finals so as to convince him to stay

shame there haven't been more follow this path recently

is N.Nitschke related to A.Nietschke by any chance ;p

neita and omac delisted one with a promise to be rookied. any guesses which one

yeh i get that but you're not going to reject another year if its the only chance u have of playing afl footy? lockhart will get promoted next year coz we're going to see a fair few drop off the senior list for sure

aim higher, i've seen enough mediocrity in my 20 years

you're definitely allowed to be a rookie for 3 years i thought. isn't it after 3 you have to make a decision up or out? imo Chandler, MBrown, Lockhart all rerookied OMac delisted Nietschke, Bedford, Jordon all retained as Snr listed players Bradtke retained as B that fills 35snr players and 3A 1B rookies allowing us to pick up 3 players with currently 18, 19, 28, 50 however i expect one more trade up the first round order and then we have 1A spot to look at a delisted FA. if i had to make a call on one rookie to be delisted alongside OMac it would definitely be Chandler as i dont see him getting senior opportunities next year due to numerous options as a small forward. we would then delist nietschke and re-rookie him and take all 4 picks in the draft passing at 89

deserved a fairer crack - have no idea how u can get picked round 1 after a whole pre season and then fall so out of favour especially in such a spluttering forward line

cedric cox requested a trade to WA and received no interest, wouldnt mind him for a year or two off HB even if he still pursues a move west after that. ronke is still OOC too at the swans and could be an alternative small forward option for 1 yr see what he's got eggmolese-smith is also ooc still at richmond and has done some nice things off hb there but its a hard side to crack, i guess he'd have his eye on houlis spot from next yr on

was this not josh hope who got released by melbourne victory in the a-league?

the trick is as far as we know it, the universe is endless in time and as it appears so is afl football so... why not trade out a future pick every single year and just forever be out by a year it works as long as the world keeps spinning (or they remove future pick trading ? )

lmao nah i wish played school boys with them, they both signed my leavers shirt, so i guess thats always a brag i can have when they forget who i am ;)
