The inequality that is the academy system, not to mention they can take any player from the clubs listed inside the top 20 without a bid being matched. What a joke!The unfortunate part is that non expansion clubs are never able to get into this "dire" situation.
The AFL are certainly going over the top to allow these expansion clubs to buy a flag.
Absolutely under no circumstances. Been delisted twice, that says it all.Is Ben Crocker any chance to be redrafted by Collingwood?
I know he has been a “nearly” player, but he’s the right age, plays a handy position, kicks the occasional goal, won Carlton reserves B&F, and is afl ready.
He seems to have been training with a few of our guys at Puls8 as well.
I was never really a fan in the past, and I reckon he’s a bit of a head case, but he may have some merit, perhaps as an SSP.
Any thoughts?
Not as shattered as I would be if he achieved success with another team.TheGreatGrundy will be shattered.

He isn’t up to AFL standard, but I do think he’s one that would be good to bolster our VFL squad. With the current setup in terms of FD funding having a strong VFL group and attacking that level with real intent interests me more than whatever the current strategy is.
And Sier did not. Shows where his head is at.
Of course it is a terrible outcome for the Suns, if it happened to the Blues we'd be laughing about it for months.This actually explains it pretty well.

SUNS GM of Player Talent and Strategy Football Department, Craig Cameron speaks on Greenwood's departure and Miller's contract extension.www.goldcoastfc.com.au
I think its not a terrible outcome for both parties.
Its time we moved on from this Greenwood thing. Its done.

Because he was popular... Really, shouldn't be needed to be delisted.Why would they be angry with the club? The club tried to keep the list together without sacking any of their mates - it was Greenwood who decided to walk.

It sucks sure, but they can cover him no doubt. They are building up a depth of mids that would have gone past him soon.Of course it is a terrible outcome for the Suns, if it happened to the Blues we'd be laughing about it for months.
My view is that you draft 18 year olds for what they'll be from 22-30. I'd just go best available as I don't think we have any areas you'd be confident about for that time frame.ruckman is the last thing we need, slow plodder mid is even a greater need
Would you draft 3 ruckman in a row if they were all best available at each pick?My view is that you draft 18 year olds for what they'll be from 22-30. I'd just go best available as I don't think we have any areas you'd be confident about for that time frame.
No, not ruck. But I would any other role. But if there's a ruck we like now, I'd draft him as he's likely to be hitting that age when Grundy needs help and we have zero rucks in that Age Group.Would you draft 3 ruckman in a row if they were all best available at each pick?
That is one way of defending the absurd Rory Atkins 5 year contractYeah.
They had the unfortuate of everyone being contracted. Yes it sucks Hugh's time ended the way it did, but to have that luxury, it can't be a bad thing especially for them given their rentention issues in the past.
They are forming a deep growing midfield, he would have ended up just being squeezed out sooner rather than later, so this is beneficial for both parties.
Ha???????They changed the rules so you can't trade out a pick and then trade it back in later to stop the Sydney thing happening. But you can still trade out or in.
Ha???????
Technically speaking he doesn't need to if he wants to try to get onto a list as an SSP addition by doing a pre-season with an AFL club, or perhaps looking to be picked up as an selection after showing some consistently strong VFL form. Not saying he will bother with either option, but at worst he is definitely VFL standard which isn't so bad with it being the second strongest league in the country only behind the AFL.
No current season stats available
I don't personally think that we'll be getting anyone analysts expect. I'm expecting a few steals, an Indigenous player (due to the Do Better report) and another Oakleigh Charger. Sam Banks also looks like a strong choice.COLLINGWOOD

All avenues have led to Nick Daicos, brother of Josh and son of club legend Peter, as he emerged as a junior star in recent seasons. The Oakleigh Chargers’ midfielder oozes class and just has a knack of finding the football, meaning the Magpies have a player ready to step straight into senior football on their list in 2022. The question is when another club will make a bid for him, with North Melbourne likely to pass and hand the honour of first pick to Jason Horne-Francis. However either the Giants or the Suns are almost certain to make a bid, costing Collingwood much of their draft hand early in the piece. However once that transaction is completed the Magpies have gathered a good stock of picks for the 2022 national draft, which may allow them to trade their way back into the second round of the draft where they could look at a small forward such as Judson Clarke, Jesse Motlop or even Dan Butler if they were still around the draft in the 30s. Otherwise, the club could head to the back end of the draft, where recruiting manager Derek Hine often excels to grab a mature-age Williamstown player such as Charlie Dean or even ex-Cat Blake Schlensog. They will also re-rookie Isaac Chugg.
