There have been major changes made to the AFL's Academy programme allowing more prospects to be involved in high-level coaching, and setti up 'hubs' in five talent regions – Vic Country, Vic Metro, South Australia, Western Australia and Allies.

Nice compliment but Redleg is a poor guesser. No pseudonym but If I were to take one from the literary world it might be James Joyce or Leo Tolstoy, not Hemingway - no offence Ernie.

He's had 4 knee reco's and had groin issues this year. You have to admire his persistence and in earlier days, he went well as a dangerous forward in a good team but those days are over and to fit into the Goodwin style you need to be strong, hard working and have physical presence. So, it's a no from me.

The big question is where is Mr. Leg at what should be his moment of triumph? My information is that he has, as Ernest implied, hit the wall and fled the jurisdiction; that he is on a vessel travelling the high seas with a rod in his hand in true Hemingway fashion. I can picture Ernie's next novel on the bookshelves at my local bookstore - "The Old Man and The Sea - Part 2".

Settle down folks - it was a simple suggestion. And by the way, as a moderator, the page count visible to me also includes deleted posts which means that the thread has officially reached 1,000 pages. Congratulations go to Mr. Leg who tells me that he initiated this thread as a humanitarian gesture to save the western suburbs of Sydney from Chico Rolls, dim sims, potato cakes, French Fries and flavoured malted milk shakes (other than banana flavour).

Williams has been mentioned in despatches. I think he might be taken before pick # 23 though.

I have just read this piece and it truly resonates with me on several levels. Although, the wisdom of Steven May’s recruitment will ultimately be determined by what he achieves on and off the field for the club in the future, his story puts paid to any debate about who wins in trading. If it’s all about what a club gains and adds to its community then we have added a wonderful asset to the Melbourne Football Club for the next five years.

Hanscombe on the outer?

The above table is a clearer version of Fifty-5’s update for 2019 draft selections. It shows that Collingwood and Essendon have sacrificed next year’s first round picks in much the same way as Melbourne did last year to get Jake Lever. If those teams perform well in 2019 then losing those picks won’t be a complete disaster. I think the Hawks have used their future picks well to secure their current needs. GWS are well set up for next year despite their salary dumping this year. FWIW, Melbourne might have a first round pick this year.

True but the problem is that unless he gets delisted, it’s unlikely that can find a way out of Port Adelaide. His name doesn’t feature in the recent AFL article about out of contract players and hence, it looks like he will remain at Alberton.

Good point and I am sympathetic with bananas and everything they stand for. Not only that but one of my favourite movies is Bananas with Woody Allan. However, since we have a dedicated cheese thread over on the other board, there’s no reason why you couldn’t have a designated bananas thread and I’ve never been completely comfortable with the linkage of bananas, the unmentionable and BS. No trolling and only raised it as a subject for debate given that throughout the lifetime of this thread GWS and the unmentionable (who I’ve now mentioned twice in this post) have been inextricably linked and now that the nexus has been broken you might want to take advantage of the situation. And, as Hemmingway has, as always, eloquently put it, the place has hit the wall and a rest is much needed.

This is the area where there is some uncertainty. I understand that T Smith and Keilty have been given another year on the rookie list so the only question mark is whether Maynard gets the upgrade. Unless the rules have changed, we could go with a primary list of 38 and take more rookies (Category A) to give us total numbers of 44 plus the Category B rookies.

Has he been delisted?

Just wondering now that the Greater Western Sydney Giants have purged themselves of their unmentionable by name person (and no doubt, his portly parent), is there any reason why this thread should continue?

Proof that Hogan is now officially a Docker

The heading to this thread is 100% accurate. Under our law, a person charged with an offence is always innocent until proven guilty.

Only part - during the finals but I took the post trade numbers from the afl site. As has been mentioned, there will be more changes to come and also, the clubs will have different numbers of vacancies so many of the later picks will change.

Tohill has signed with Collingwood.

A look at Dandenong Stingrays and Melbourne Football Club Next Generation Academy prospect Toby Bedford.

The MFC welcomes a new indigenous player to the fold. I just hope that when he makes his debut for the club that we do better than Gold Coast on his debut with them - it was the game against Essendon at the Docklands when the Bombers kicked 15.4.94 to 0.1.1 in the first quarter.

Future picks Clubs may trade future draft selections. Clubs must only trade selections from the following year's draft. 2019 Draft Selections Adelaide - 2019 round five draft selection from Carlton via Mitch McGovern trade Brisbane Lions - 2019 round one draft selection from Collingwood via Dayne Beams trade, 2019 round two draft selection from Gold Coast via pick swap, 2019 round three draft selection (tied to Fremantle via pick swap) from Port Adelaide via Sam Mayes trade Carlton - 2019 round three draft selection from Adelaide via Mitch McGovern trade Collingwood Essendon - 2019 round two draft selection from Greater Western Sydney via Dylan Shiel trade, 2019 round four draft selection from Essendon via Travis Colyer trade Fremantle Geelong Gold Coast - 2019 round one draft selection from Brisbane via pick swap, 2019 round three draft selection from Richmond via Miles-Ellis trade Greater Western Sydney - 2019 round one draft selection from Essendon via Dylan Shiel trade, 2019 round two draft selection from Carlton via Will Setterfield trade, 2019 round four draft selection (tied to Gold Coast via Jack Scrimshaw trade) via Tom Scully trade Hawthorn - 2019 round three draft selection from Port Adelaide via Chad Wingard-Ryan Burton trade, 2019 round four draft selection from Western Bulldogs via Taylor Duryea trade Melbourne North Melbourne Port Adelaide - 2019 round three draft selection from Hawthorn via Chad Wingard-Ryan Burton trade, 2019 round four draft selection from North Melbourne via Polec-Pittard trade, 2019 round four draft selection from Gold Coast (tied to Adelaide) via Jack Hombsch trade Richmond - 2019 round three draft selection from Gold Coast via Miles-Ellis trade Sydney - 2019 round two draft selection from St Kilda via Dan Hannebery trade, 2019 round four draft selection from Carlton via Nic Newman trade St Kilda - 2019 round four draft selection from West Coast via Tom Hickey trade West Coast - 2019 round four draft selection from St Kilda via Tom Hickey trade Western Bulldogs - 2019 round three draft selection (tied to Hawthorn via Jack Scrimshaw trade) via Marcus Adams trade
