I think the way it works is he is now a Delsited Free Agent' and doesn't need to nominate for the rookie draft. We sign him as a DFA Any club can sign him as a DFA; just as North swooped on Greenwood a few years ago when GCS delisted him to then rookie him. Caught GCS unawares. I very much doubt Melksham would want to join another club.

Just sent. It will give you a laugh!

Got it!! Will PM the answer.

Hey, DZ. I'm not sure there is anything to worry about. We don't know yet whether we have/haven't committed to taking him. Let's assume we have decided to not match a bid. If he doesn't get drafted we can have him train with us over summer and decide whether to take him as an A rookie. We did the same with Farmer who eventually we did not sign on. I'm with @deanox that if we don't take him it is because we have enough of his type of player and we need a bit more variety in our list.

Yes but which 'track'...

Love that you gave me a clue but Crikey! May I have the more obvious clue back... ....short of going thru my cd's/computer drive for her songs all I can think of is .The Little Sparrow'.

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...

Give us a hint as to which 'time' that fleeting moment appears 😊

Correct.

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

F/S nominations close today and I'm not sure Brown has nominated mfc/mfc accepted...

Good news. Now we have 34 senior listed players and on this year's base of 36 that gives us two senior list spots.

Hopefully not...

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...

Careful od, we will have more posts deleted... ...at least they can't banish this thread to Siberia, it is already there !😵‍💫

Must have missed it !!!

He hasn't been signed yet so no Oscar isn't relevant.

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!!

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

Thank you. I'm now in the 'win and we stay on top' camp!

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...

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...)?

What did she do or say !!

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.

Which thread was that od? I haven't been reading many threads so not up with the latest!!!
