Turner

do we have any idea why theres not a single piece of info on him in a single article discussing club tied players https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-draft-2020-nominations-blake-coleman-josh-eyre-reef-mcinnes-father-son-academy-bidding-system/news-story/3117e9c4af11b92368a7df96739d72cb not a single word on our boy at all

didn't know which thread was most appropriate but how about the news tyson goldsack after a year out is going to unretire and join port as a rookie! pretty spectacular news considering they gave trent mckenzie 2yrs, signed aliir for 4 and still have clurey and jonas back there but hey, good on him for resurecting a career which maybe he had less say in ending than "retirement" suggests

nothing special? if a player is contributing that much to the scoreboard from that many disposals and with that much defensive pressure they can easily be nurtured and maximised in an afl environment!!!

he nominated for the draft?

1 as Bradtke (B) takes the 5/6 spot likely we carry it over for SSP next january

i was going tosay yesterday that benny gibsons article re neita and JJ didnt mention DFA's when it said why we were demoting them but did mention all other avenues of adding players to lists. I hope there are some DFA's we're sussing but surely its risky to let them slide through the draft process particularly Egg

unclear no longer ;)

Bris: Mitch Clark Ess: Melksham bout the only alternatives i can think of, Lumumba unlikely. lot more players move from melbourne elsewhere than come in in recent years which is surprising

he'd only been there two? he joined last January i thought it was 44... yes and that spot we'll likely carry for SSP. so 4 draft picks, 1 DFA and then no live rookie picks but 1 train on spot left free it seems

it makes absolutely no sense why we would demote him and promote lockhart, either way the same amount is being paid outside the cap why not just leave them on the lists they were on? we didn't give lockhart any longer deal to force him up either. baffled

update for the news jordon is to be a rookie?

just looked at mine, its april 2019 over here

venables has long term concussion symptoms like KK but is still on the senior list but theyll be able to make him inactive and then replace him with a SSP pick

i shell not contribute to the puns

he is purely a victim of circumstances, well and truly entrenched in the best 22 this season but they only had very few OOC players after their initial list changes.no doubt players like giro, switkowski, colyer etc had they been ooc would have been move instead but as he was ooc he had to drop down. theyll find a way to take him straight back up next season

it would also be a sentimental thing, obviously he was kinda forced to retire he didnt announce it till 3 weeks after the season and the only club he would come out of retirement for would be the one his late uncle was famous for. i guess he's thinking this is my way of honouring him and pulling on the colours in his memory

i think you made a typo, it should read: dEeS rEaDy fOr sUcCeSs

jacob townsend is one of the great survivors and the suns are still just the placed to go when no one else will give u a contract. and i thought CEllis, Horlin-Smith, Miles and aaron young out was the end of those type of deals for them but markov, atkins and now townsend are such stinky signings + theyre still carrying hombsch, holman (who has been serviceable) and jordon murdoch (ik who right). they dont need 49 list spots if one of them is going to jacob townsend ffs

so technically yes because a player is removed from that 44 and placed as inactive and u recruit someone to fill there place meaning at the end of the season u will have to bring your numbers back down under the 44 for the next season. so 2 LT injuries and a retirement would technically give u a squad of 47 but you'd have to cut back extras that offseason

for the player you're getting there are plenty of better players being tossed out of the system atm who are younger with upside for a similar output. egg smith and cox in particular, we already have experienced players in that part of the ground in hibbo, nev, may, jones we dont need any more vet leaders, we need talented players to grow with the group for the next 5 years

i've said it before but i actually don't think there has ever been a player we've disagreed on

eggmolese-smith definitely worth a year. he looked a real player if u give him a chance in the team imo

appreciate the expert call. i also didn't ignore lockhart. i stated that we had a lot of unavailable players in that role so it made sense to convert him there. none of which has jack all to do with lockhart because he was available

considering as A rookies can be paid 80k outside the cap i find it strange that we haven't delisted contracted players (vanders, nibbler, jetta) or delayed contracts on certain players (any of jones, smith, bedford, jordon) and have in fact upgraded lockhart unncessarily. running a minimum senior list with maximum rookies is the best way to pay ur list no?

looked like a 200 gamer at the suns with his composure and kicking off HB, shame it never worked out for him really liked what he was about. hope he doesn't have any issues in the future
