To be honest i'm deathriding 17 teams.

who is your 23rd man

I'd rather use the 2 picks this year and next year. Even if we swing at 50% it'll work out ok.

National draft 19–20 November 2025 Pre-Season and Rookie draft 21 November 2025 Pre-season supplemental selection period December 2025 – March 2026

Was thinking about the GF midfield composition just before. Midfield of Petracca (Gold Coast), Oliver (GWS), Harmes (Dogs), Brayshaw (Medically Retired), Viney (Still here), Sparrow (Contract Expiring 2026) , Jordon (Swans) Big turnover in the guts

MELBOURNE Tom Campbell* Kade Chandler Jai Culley* Bayley Fritsch Steven May Tom McDonald Jake Melksham Christian Salem Tom Sparrow These are the fellas approaching free agency in 2026. Curious what our approach will be with Salo and Sparrow. Any chance Tom would want to return to SA?

Also curious as to how King and Co implement and utilise #23

It's definitely sad how its all turned out, but at the end of the day the juice wasn't worth the squeeze.

Replaced one Jack with another Jack to pair with Jack in the midfield.

Assume we wouldnt add an extra year given his age?

My girlfriend asked what I was going to do with my '21 Petracca Grand Final fridge magnet, that's the big question of Trade week now.

When I see a death riding thread

Time to put on Andrea Bocelli's song "Con te partirò"

see if Saints want to pay any, gives them more room to maneuver if theyre looking to bring in De goey

Sort of polar opposites in terms of strengths.

I must say 'potential incoming player' threads much more enjoyable than player 'potential outgoing player' threads

was that pre or post JUH

You'd hope so, cos they have at present - 7, 8, 15, 18, 29, 36, 37, 52, 74, 92, 110 This would leave them with 15, 18, 24, 28, 29 - this year.

I'm actually dreading Thursday though, as my work to-do pile has grown the last week or so.

Also some stricter 'matching' requirements coming in for 2026.

One way or another, today is hump day

I know it was probably unlikely with Clarry and Trac on the outer (?) , but hopefully we don't see Caleb at half-back again. So i am all for re-enforcing this position

I got 'bad decision maker' in my chat.

Assume we are giving him an extra year, but hope we don't over pay in trade/$ sense

I am sure they will try this until the last minute, if it works then great - if not we'll get picks.
