  1. Yes, I looked for the feisty red haired girl, sheila, female (I'm so confused 😵‍💫) but there were too many!!! PM me if you like...
  2. Updates: Melksham becoming an A Rookie Turner changed to a 2 year contract on advice from @Dannyz Contract terms updated for Billings, McAdam and Fullarton thanks to info from @DeeTeez This means there are no more uncontracted players. Today is the closing date for F/S nominations and have yet to see anything on Brown so not sure we will be taking him on a F/S basis. That doesn't mean we wouldn't draft him, just that we are not committed to do so. Based on recent mix of 36 senior players and 6 A rookies we now have two senior list spots and two A rookie spots
  3. F/S nominations close today and I'm not sure Brown has nominated mfc/mfc accepted...
  4. Good news. Now we have 34 senior listed players and on this year's base of 36 that gives us two senior list spots.
  5. I have this feeling that it was our banter this morning that resulted in the No BS thread being banished to Siberia. I was shocked to see our lighthearted posts deleted then astounded to see the whole thread removed from the main board. Like you I am taking a big risk with my longevity on this site but no one reads this thread so we should be safe...
  6. Careful od, we will have more posts deleted... ...at least they can't banish this thread to Siberia, it is already there !😵‍💫
  7. He with the Feathered Cap has met his demise: fremantle-dockers-appoint-new-football-boss-joe-brierty-as-peter-bell-moves-into-different-role It is the classic 'sideways' shuffle to avoid sacking or demoting someone. He has made some monumental list blunders since taking over and cost Freo dearly. Not sure about the wisdom of appointing a long term staff member into the Footy Manager role without other staff changes. It will take them years to dig themselves out of the hole Bell created. What a good year for List Manager changes: both Dodoro and Bell gone!!
  8. Agree with your but it depends which year is highlighted. The following year, 2015 it was: pick 2 Schache - now on his 3rd club pick 6 Francis - traded to Sydney for a very late pick. pick 11 Milera - still with the Crows As we all know the draft is a lottery...!! Edit: corrected Matera to Milera
  9. Thank you. I'm now in the 'win and we stay on top' camp!
  10. Got it! You mean @WalkingCivilWar went into full on feisty, red hair with bared teeth, mode! I can guess the 'usual suspects' that were silly enough to engage in a sparring contest with her. They should know by now that they can't win a 'War of Words' with her... As an aside, I wonder if siilly will be censored like idiiot was...
  11. They say Crows would have to win by the biggest margin in AFLW history but not say what it is. Looks like a cop out or they are too lazy to estimate the range... Some googling found this: "Adelaide Crows defeat Giants by 96 points for biggest win in AFLW history". about 12 months ago. GWS of 2022 weren't as bad as the Eagles this year. So Crows will be full of confidence they can monster Eagles. I for one, am not assuming a win will keep us on top. However, the advantage we have is our game is after theirs so we will know is needed to stay on top but I'm not expecting a big winning margin. Anyone have an idea of what Adelaide's approx winning margin needs to be if we win by just one goal (which will drag our % down...)?
  12. I'm not even sure they exist outside numerous media articles. This is a reasonable summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Football_League_draft Proviso: The AFL have an enormous propensity to use their 'special herbs and spices' recipe to amend rules at their discretion ie act outside their own rules to favour certain clubs...it happens every year in one way or another.
  13. Which thread was that od? I haven't been reading many threads so not up with the latest!!!
  14. Oops! I took them as sub points after the 'Do you know...' question!! It seems we are pretty much on the same page.
  15. My thoughts on the above post in blue ...we've got lost lodgement deadlines on Tuesday 31 at 2pm and again before the draft on 14 Nov. Correct Do you know if the club needs to declare it's list make up (i.e. 36/6 or 37/5) at one of those list lodgements? Or are we free to go the draft do our thing as long as the outcome fits within the rules? No need to declare the Seniors/A rookie mix. It will be known after the draft. If it's the former, then I suspect the club are playing it like this: - the club is going to wait and see what happens on draft night. Agreed. - if we can get Brown as a Rookie (ie no one else bids) then we'll do that. I haven't seen anything that says we will take Brown. F/S nominations close tomorrow so we should know then. That nothing has been reported suggests we may not or else just poor info from AFL who publish the lists. - if a bid comes 56 or later, I think that thanks to the 20% points discount, he can match for free - presuming we have a list spot left. We still need to use a draft pick but it could be 93, which will come in to about pick 60 after the other Academy and F/S bids have been matched and clubs pass on picks over 50. That is what happened to get Woewoden. Yes we still need a list spot. -if our draft hand stays exactly as it is, and we can manage any other trades, it will depend on whether we rate Brown at 42 or would prefer someone else. But based on Tim Lambs comments. I can't see us using 42 as well as 6 and 11, unless it's for Brown. I can't see us taking Brown at 42. With relatively flat second round talent 42 is a valuable pick. I reckon It will be used in a pick upgrade (into top 10), pick swap or cashed in for 2024 picks. - So my guess is that strategy around selection otherwise (ie before pick 56) will depend on any trades we were able to make to improve our top picks, and whether they give us any pick in the 50s or 60s back that will enable us to match a bid. Agreed. - In short: we'll take him if we can, but we aren't stock piling assets for him, we are trying to get the best top end talent. Agreed....I'm not seeing intent to create a list spot for him but as you suggest we can go from a mix of 36/6 to 37/5.
