With Baker and Poulter having spent 3 years each on the Rookie A list, would they both need to be elevated to the main list in order to be retained, or can they be delisted and re-rookied again?

They can be delisted and re-rookied. Did it with Roarke Smith a couple of times

 

[DannyB4]

Wait until the media finds out his been training with a certain club Captain and co-Captains at certain gyms in a certain western suburb area of a certain Victorian city.

Spill we need to knowwww

 

[Doggy]

Curnow willing to take a pay cut to get to Geelong.

And be paid in farms and pubs instead

Few of our leadership team have been at a gym in Williamstown during the same time of day as a certain Butter-based person.
Coincidence? Maybe. The universe works in mysterious ways.

Would love Scotty to stay around at Footscray, great VFL midfielder and clubman.

Unfortunately after zero games at AFL level this year and his concussion issues the writing was on the wall.

Glad he got to win a flag in his last game.

Always liked Anthony Scott. Is he likely to stay at Footscray? How much do they get paid?

Scotty has interest in a golf business so he’ll be able to spend more time on that.

Can’t stand Essendon and Carlton but I really hope they tell Merrett, Curnow etc to just suck it up and be there day 1 of pre-season. Curnow in particular has been a snake the way he has gone about this, refusing to flat out demand a trade but try play out like he is a victim. You could be willing to play for free mate, doesn’t change the fact the Cats need to trade an established star and boatloads of picks to get you with 4 years left on your deal.

 

[JohnnySteel]

We should just make a move for Butters this season. Understand he is contracted but surely he’d want the opportunity to play with Libba. Who knows if he’ll go around again in 27.

Have they been holding hands after?

He is mates with Baz and same manager. Trying to do it the same way Baz did. Which is silly because he’s contracted. Hope Carlton hold him.

I hope Voss or whoever it is at Carlton grab him and say 'Unpack your gear champ, you're going nowhere. See you in November.'

The players wanting to break long term contracts before even getting to halfway, are shitting me up the wall.
Let’s hope they aren’t front ended.

Coffield would be sweating bullets. He wasn't good in the GF and we have added Sellwood and Walker plus whatever else Sammy can land. Will become clearer after trade period IMO

Darcy's younger brother Will is likely to be in our list next year too.

next year or the year after?

 

[Doggy]

next year or the year after?

Will Darcy is likely a rookie pick this year.

 

[Golden_6]

Baffled that Coffield hasn't been delisted yet. He would've been the first one for me.

Without some experience coming in that probably can't happen. If we actually land someone he might go, but who can have the confidence that we will

Not sure on that.

Butters has been at the performance club in Williamstown and the others at movement culture.

Experience is irrelevant if you don't see it on game day. He's terrible & out of his depth. Cleary & Sellwood way ahead of him for similar roles now.

Have it on first hand sighting account, unless I’m being lied to but this person is an (ick) Hawks fan so who knows .

That is your opinion. He gets to right position often, intercept marks and directs the backline fine. His main issue really is his disposal is sub par particularly when not under pressure. Cleary is not way ahead of him and Sellwood has not even played at the level

I think he actually has a lot of significant issues. He looks like a tidy dependable player but in reality he isn't. Misses kicks, fumbles and drops marks when under moderate pressure. That's not to mention his obvious speed and athleticism issues that have been caused by his injuries over the years.

Im more worried about Max... apparently he is the better than Sam at the same age... I'm not sure of his draft year but the changes in the father and son rule could bugger us up!

I don't think he is anymore than depth at best. Just disagree that at this stage we have significantly better options, particularly when you have named one player not established best 23 and one who has not played a single game. Given Jones is now also delisted we need to pick up 1 quality back to think he is not necessary, 2 to ensure it

We are getting a bit ahead of ourselves…but in a hypothetical scenario where he looks likely as an early pick, all he would need to say publicly before the draft is that I want to play with my brothers.
