Mega Thread 2012 List Management thread

[00Stinger]

I was trying to find out who was/wasn't contracted found this from August:

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/demons-in-purgatory-20120809-23x3q.html

From that list, and after trade period; the following are still uncontracted: Dunn, Macdonald, Sellar, Bartram and Davis.

Id expect at least one to go if Jacobs is available. Also haven't heard much about Bartram's knee; early retirement maybe?

What about Toy in the PS draft?

So with Gillies getting picked up, we currently have 3 ND picks (one of which will be Viney) and 2 rookie picks and that's it?

We didn't use a pick on him did we? Delisted FA

He takes a spot on the list... meaning, at this stage, we can only use 3 picks (including JV); unless another leaves

 

[00Stinger]

Who is still unsigned for next year?

Sellar, Davis, Dunn, Bartram and MacDonald

I think... not 100% sure

 

[Bartram_Class]

Throw in Jetta as well, who I don't think has a new deal yet.

Think it's 4 picks (including JV).

I dont understand why we have added another tall in Gillies.
We need mids or at least outside players with leg speed, whether they be forwards or backs.
Some on here will disagree but I would have preferred to see the club have someone like Reimers train with us and put him through his paces. Reimers has talent and after being delisted, he may have had the wake up call he needs.

melbournefc: Chris Dawes is back from his holiday and will be speaking to the media at 12.30pm tomorrow! We'll tweet live and get some photos for you.

OP updated for Gillies.

After counting Viney in, we now have 3 senior spots left to fill. 3 live draft picks and a PSD pick now means we have to delist a player. Could Bartram be up against it with his issues?

We don't have to use a pick in the PSD. We only have to make 3 selections in the ND, including Father/Son and rookie promotions.

Reimers is not the sort of player Neeld is after, too inconsistent

You saw his stance on Petterd, showed a bit but not enough

 

[RandB]

I realise that.

Given we just took on Gillies and that there will undoubtedly be much better options in the PSD it stands to reason we'll use one of those picks though otherwise we would have wasted that list spot. It looks like another player may be delisted.

 

[Logger]

Are we (that is, Bigfooty-ites, not MFC) already counting Nicho and Evans as on our senior list?

 

[LeverPuller]

On Barty, would he survive being delisted and rookied? Or would he get picked up elsewhere?

Yep, rookie upgrades already factored in, see OP. 3 net spots currently available.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Going to hazard a guess that the Gillies signing doesn't bode well for one of Davis/Sellar.

There was not many decent mids avaliable this year, but there a few decent talls. Not all the talls who have been signed will make it, but if a couple do we are set for a few years and then we can concentrate on getting the mids.

The club has just announced Sellar has re-signed, along with MacDonald and Dunn.

[fushy]

so just barts unsigned?

 

[d33my]

Think so. Doesn't look good for him, unfortunately.

EDIT: And Davis remains unsigned too, I believe.

My understanding is that Bartram, Jetta & Davis are all unsigned??

 

[pjfairbairn]

Also, are we to assume that Sellar, Joel Mac & Dunny all just got one year?

Good question, not sure.

They seem reluctant to add that info in the articles these days.
