Here's my entry, but I might change later as I get a better "gut" feel: 3. Morton 10. Bode 16. Grimes 25. McNamara 26. Meesen 30. Cheney 33. Maric

CAC was quoted a month or so ago saying that Morton, Kreuzer and Cotchin were easily the standout three and that if any were still available at pick 4 he'd read out their name in a heartbeat.

Not really. Financially there's a big difference between being senior listed and rookied. I imagine it's to protect bottom age young kids -- who would probably be spending their year 12 year on an AFL list -- from being screwed.

I believe Gaertner is too young to be rookied.

Us. Duh

PASS

WHELAN, Matthew New players are: CHENEY, Kyle GRIMES, Jack MARIC, Addam McNAMARA, Tom MARTIN, Stefan MEESEN, John MORTON, Cale SPENCER, Jake ® VALENTI, Shane ® WONAEAMIRRI, Austin ® ZOMER, Trent ®

Only pick 73 left now, and I wouldn't be surprised if we pass. Doesn't look good for Sampi.

Stoked with this. By all reports he is top 3 calibre.

Yep, totally agree with that. No coincidence that this happened in the same breath that we delisted our arguably two worst kicks. Can't kick, can't play seems to be the motto these days.

Ironic that the only one who picked it doesn't support our side! Nice get Great Source!

Tracker seems to have crapped itself. Hardly surprising I guess.

Head over to melbournefc.com.au and point out where they use the Demon logo. You will find that the logo in Nugget Jones' avatar is the new logo.

Exactly my question. If that deal got up then it's undeniable proof that the competition is rigged. If I were the president of any of the 15 other clubs and this deal got up I'd be seeking legal advice ASAP. It isn't "smart" dealing from Eddie Redleg. It's an outright attempt at cheating.

Slight correction, Rivers was actually taken with pick 26, just to enforce your point further.

Jeff Kennett should say a big thank you to the corrupt Tasmanian premier for his inflated profits. Almost $3m of their $3.6m profits come from that extremely questionable deal that the majority of Tasmanians think is an utter waste of money. Then Kennett has the nerve to piss on our clubs as a result of this BS transaction. Keep your mouth closed Jeff, lest you end up with a foot in it. Nice work by Paul Gardner on this one.

Surely if the P-train says he'll only play for St. Kilda, that constitutes draft tampering?

*shrug* If people want to feed the trolls, that's their perogative. Unfortunately being a dimwit isn't a thread-closeable offence.

The part that I disagreed with is the part you glossed over.

Without meaning to split hairs Scoop, I doubt the "passionate" supporters that are going down to watch training in November are the type who would tear up their membership at the slightest inconvenience. That said, I fully agree with your point and believe the club should do better.

I would be very surprised if the footy department agreed with your assessment there DD.

That was always the plan I believe. No need for him to wait given that he was delisted. I'm more surprised that our other delistees in Ward, Godfrey and Neville did not nominate. I would've thought you'd still nominate even if you thought you had bugger all chance of being picked up. Maybe they're happy with the "career over" outcome.

Andy Lovell and Anthony Lovell are one and the same person.

Sorry Redleg, was just making sure it's clear. If you have a look at the bottom of the main forum index, you can get stats on who's currently online, including a count. That's what I was talking about, and that's the sort of number Distance Demon's guess represented. Hits it is then, and yep, there are ways and means of getting a count. Like I said though guys, it won't be less than 1000, so guess above that.

Are we talking hits here, or users online peak? If we're talking hits, forget about any entry 1000. I'll tell you that much for free.
