Nope. If I had to guess, Simpkin, Pierce and Markworth in trouble. All un-signed.
If pierce was in trouble id doubt that Richo has gone out of his way to comment on him in the last two weeks in a number of interviews and pressers. Sounds like we want to develop our own ruckmen and accept it takes time to do it, so I think we are committed to pierce for a while yet as a project player

Heard a whisper that curran and Murdock may get the axe.
Thought Murdock showed a bit in his games, big long left foot kick. Currans spots look to be taken over by weller and lonie/Sinclair

Both are contracted, which doesn't mean we won't delist them but you'd think it was unlikely.

You seriously think he is worth Pick 2 in compensation?

Injury prone, inconsistent?

He is good on his day don't get me wrong but not worth pick 2. The system is flawed.

PS - I also think we got to much for Stanley.
This is where the AFL get themselves into so much strife.
The Frawley pick 3 farse to gift Melb a pseudo pp will come back to bite.....us:mad:

Anyone watch the Freo game? Just curious how Tanner Smith went. Think he's OOC wouldn't mind seeing if we can get him, even as say a rookie. Right age bracket for our next tilt at a premiership.

If Academy players get taken early, it wont make a difference to the draft order of the other clubs. For example. if at 5 Mathieson and Francis are available, and GWS and Sydney are forced to their take their Academy boys at 5 and 6 pushing us to pick 7, Mathieson and Francis will still be available. However if we are pushed out to 7 by Carlton and Brisbane getting extra picks, they will be gone.

Focused on Murdoch last night, is quite limited as an AFL footballer with only one trick in his bag..
Each to their own, but I strongly disagree.

Great hands, great kick, very good one-on-one player, decent to good speed, eye for a goal, good size.

Siposs White Murdoch and Pierce have twice as much talent as Shenton, Curren, Simpkin and Ray.
Not trying to take anything anyway from Siposs White Murdoch and Pierce (im sure they train hard), but Shenton, Curren, Simpkin and Ray put a shitload of effort into their training which is a reason why they get games over the first 4 you mentioned. Talent means nothing unless ridiculous effort is put in.

Dane Swan, Josh Kennedy, Matt Priddis, Bernie Vince, Brendon Goddard, Robbie Gray, Scott Thompson (Crows), Jordan Lewis.

All looked pretty cack after a few seasons.

Murdoch may not get much of it, but does he look out of his depth at AFL level? No way for mine. That's pretty bloody good considering he's had only 2 pre-seasons and is transitioning from playing as a full forward all his junior career.

He wouldn't have even had one proper preseason. First year he would have been on a modified program due to his age and in his next two preseasons he missed what looked like big chunks of them due to his back issues.
