Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Wouldn’t surprise if it was a special rule made for GWS that Essendon jumped on tooOh wow. That makes getting a deal done with the Dogs even easier.
Totally missed this announcement. Do you have a link so I can read about the details of it?
Draft rules so confusing these days. I've been trying to find info on whether the Mumford/Zac Clarke SSP rule still exists. If it does, in theory if you wanted a previously delisted player you could just tell them not to nominate for the draft and chuck them on your rookie list afterwards. Skinner would be very handy if we could get him for free.
You're quite right that the comparison between Sinn and Callaghan was early. However, they both were playing half back so comparison was fair. Sinn was also earmarked to play midfield but was injured and thus missed the opportunity. Callaghan does have poise and spatial awareness, Sinn has blistering pace and a bullet left foot.That was written before Callaghan moved to the midfield and went ballistic. He had 19, 13 and 24 touches in his first three games, at half-back, then 31, 31, 28 in the midfield to win Sandy's B&F with 76 votes (second got 69). Sinn never had more than 20 touches and finished equal 10th in their B&F with 14 votes.
If you watch them play you see the difference. Callaghan has time and makes space. He's quick, has great spatial awareness of what's around him and a beautiful jink-step. Sinn is a dasher but more of a straight line player.
He'll still be there at 15(17) and I hope we ignore him there too. Sloooow. He had 10 touches yesterday.
That's a nice collection of picks to have - 8 in the top 50, realistically we will use only 4-5 pick.Not going to be much of a difference between band 4 or 5 for Chol compo: pick 38 or 45 ?
By the time Collingwood use picks 39 & 42 for point matching there will be only 5 spots difference between those 2 picks.
If we get say 38 from North for CCJ (worst case) and 45 compo for Chol, we then have:
7, 15, 26, 28, 38, 40, 44, 45.
I'd still bundle 3 of them for Bulldogs pick 17/18. Still gives us 6 decent picks to take to the draft for 4 list spots? (Naish, Houli, Astbury, CCJ, Chol ++Tarrant).
We could then still play the game of live trading picks for future picks for clubs desperate to get back in on the night.
Dogs & Pies will be bare after matching picks. Port & Carlton are also fairly thin around the 30-40 pick mark.
Could be an entertaining night.

Not talking about getting those picks off Port or Carlton. More about them getting to around pick 30 with their next picks in the 60s and us trading a pick to them for 2022 second rounder or something.That's a nice collection of picks to have - 8 in the top 50, realistically we will use only 4-5 pick.
I don't really understand the points concept and us getting pick 18 from the Dogs for our picks in the 30s/40s.
Plus Carlton will need its pick 6 for Cerra. to get Port's pick 14 we would have to give 26 & 28.
See what happens, hopefully we are the club everyone wants to talk to !!
Ok, well 3 operations, said it was a bit of a risk, didn't say that he should be delisted.
Unlike what your club did.
Yep that’s where the gap opened up us relative to ladder leadersI want strong midfielder with our first two first round picks. A talls after that. Melbourne has become a Grand Final team building a side from the midfield out. We need to rebirth our side doing the same.

If you throw in Pick 26 as well as 28, 40 and 44 you could probably get there first round pick and their second round pick for next year.Not talking about getting those picks off Port or Carlton. More about them getting to around pick 30 with their next picks in the 60s and us trading a pick to them for 2022 second rounder or something.
The Bulldogs will lose their pick 17/18 ( and more) by matching a top 5 bid for Sam Darcy.
If bid at pick 3 they need 1787 points to match, which includes a 20% discount.
Pick 17 is worth 1025 points, then pick 72 is 17 points. That's currently all they have.
We could trade pick 17 off them for picks 28, 40, 44 - worth 1468 points and the best deal they are likely to get.
Why would you want to do that? The Dogs 2nd round pick next year will likely be in the mid 30sIf you throw in Pick 26 as well as 28, 40 and 44 you could probably get there first round pick and their second round pick for next year.
I am more than fine with using the picks we don't plan to use to trade them into next yrs Draft. it'd be nice to get the Dogs pick but is it really worth giving up 3/4 picks to get it when we can play the long game & live trade for future picks? I'd love to get the Pies future 2nd for example & Cats as well Given Pies have to trade players out just to get Daicos it could end up being almost an end of 1st rd pick.I wouldnt be in a major rush to trade these later picks to be honest
We seen last year that clubs were in a position at picks in the late 30's or 40's where a player they liked was available but they didnt have a pick so traded their future picks to grab that player.
Carlton may trade their picks #6 + #25 for Cerra and see a player they rated still available at pick #40 and decide to trade 2022 2nd rounder for our #40
we then have a pick like #28 in 2022 etc.
We could end up with 38,39,40,44 and possibly move them into 2022 ending up with 3 more 2nd round picks ending up with a strong hand in 2022
Richmond have great flexibility with our hand this year
Weideman is a spud!Who says No?

Think we can do both.I am more than fine with using the picks we don't plan to use to trade them into next yrs Draft. it'd be nice to get the Dogs pick but is it really worth giving up 3/4 picks to get it when we can play the long game & live trade for future picks?

Using this yrs hand & enhancing next yrs hand would be gold for a Club that has won 3 of the last 5 flags now. it'll help us avoid dropping away.

This guy is our JR replacement. Will rename him Jacob Rooyen tooJVR was on fire and kicked 4.4 in the wafl game apparently
I reckon he might rise right back up the draft order again now. Hopefully we can get him with our second pick.This guy is our JR replacement. Will rename him Jacob Rooyen too
North into him at 20.I reckon he might rise right back up the draft order again now. Hopefully we can get him with our second pick.
