Please don’t bump this thread again. 

Wouldn’t it be much easier if, instead of that, you simply resisted the urge to open this thread in the future?

I think he’ll stay.

Thanks to one and all for your training reports but I still can’t help but feel that there are one or two common denominators about all AFL clubs at this time of the year - blue skies and rose coloured glasses.

I’m not getting carried away just yet - especially in light of the number of our key players still in rehab.

Well now, DPFA2 faded into obscurity with little more than the whimper we got from Daniel Menzel who crossed to Sydney. 

Is there any more excitement coming our way before next Thursday night’s first round extravaganza?

Our first-to-fourth-year players will return to the club next week. 

That should cover what?

About half of the list?

Deadly serious. You can’t use that word on a forum visited by women and children.

Please refrain from abusing other posters.

Welcome back to the world of AFL delisted free agency. DPFA2 opened very quietly yesterday and runs till Friday. If you blink you might miss the stampede.

Seriously, what’s the real difference between DPFA1 and DPFA2 and what does this period promise for the players who weren’t picked up in the first?

Would we look at trading next year's first pick for gws pick 19? It gets us an extra early pick this year with lots of spots to fill on the list and hopefully our first pick next year is 15 onwards so wouldn't be a massive loss there. Gws have a few early picks in the draft already. Thoughts? 

1. Do we have anyone in mind at that pick?

2. Do we have permission to trade next year’s first round pick?

Drum roll:

“Thursday, 8 November: AFL delisted player free agency period (1) closes”

So at some time tomorrow, the AFL delisted player free agency period (1) will close.

 Is there any chance that there will be a frenetic period of last minute wheeling and dealing that lands a swag of DFAs at various clubs or is it all over, red rover for them?

It seems to me that this entire concept of DFAs is going the same way as the pre season draft and the dodo. Gawn.

Clubs can trade future picks during the trade period but can they also do so as part of the live trading?

HE won’t be booed and doesn’t deserve to be. We won’t play them at the G anyway. Will be up in Alice or Darwin no doubt 

He has to recover from his navicular injury as well. Let’s not forget that the Dockers cancelled their due diligence on him a few days before they did their trade for him.

We got our Giants sell off earlier.  Tyson Bugg Frost Mckenna.  Frost is the only survivor.  

The Trade Period isn’t over yet. 

Nobody listens.

Jesse Hogan isn’t going anywhere, says Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin

• Fremantle does not believe Brisbane’s pick four is adequate compensation for Lachie Neale who is contracted to the Dockers.

I don’t get it - if Lachie Weller is worth a pick #2 and Lachie Neale is worth better than #4, then how can Jesse Hogan, a 23 year old strong marking KPP capable of 50 goals a season, not be in the elite class worth two first round picks?

How do the so called judges place a 27 year old defender in the same category as Hogan?
