Current Draft Picks:
Round 1: 1, 2, 13

Matt Clarke wraps up the trade period - 6PR

Been too busy to keep up with the thread, are we still planning on just asking Jamie Cripps to retire? Wouldn't mind picking up and elite leader and trainer like Tom Mitchell with that last rookie spot.

BSD get him.

When it comes to drafting, that would be Duane Massey

Doesn't Duane primarily provide the player intel and Clarke as the list manager makes the ultimate decisions based on his list strategy?

Massey drafts, Clarke and Mini and whoever else can have input and discussions about list needs but its Massey's call

Not sure on exact inner workings - but i would assume Clarke sets the list management direction & strategy in consultation with the footy dept (Mini/Bell/Woosh).

Duane & his team assess and rank draftees in line with the list strategy.

Duane makes recommendations re. Who to pick - it gets endorsed by Clarke & key personel like Mini/Pyke/Bell/Woosh etc

Okay well get rid of Clarke, he's just there for the lunches.

Didn't Carlton just delist a contracted player? Binns?

L Mac has signed on for another 2 years at Adelaide back in June. I'm not sure where Binns fits into this

McAndrew signs two-year extension

The Ruckman has signed on until the end of 2027

We've done it before too - so long hotlegs Langdon

 

[BSD]

He's contracted mate, I don't know why people keep mentioning him lately.

If he nominates for the draft then he can be picked irrespective of having a contract.
Most contracts would have a AFL escape clause in them.

He’s contracted to an AFL club.

(This is going to become another “but why can’t anyone tell me a good reason to demote Cripps” thing, isn’t it).

Does Toddy get a say ?

Ahh bugger I thought he had left the crows. My bad

Lose link to Hobbs by Jay Clark via HUN:

But cellar-dweller West Coast, which was given four extra rookie list spots by the AFL as part of some list concessions, could also make a play.

Hobbs has continued to train in the break since he was cut by Essendon at season’s end.

 

[wadistance]

I wanted Matt Johnson over Chesser
I wanted the Poo over Ginbey

So I've got 1 right, and 1 yet to be decided. I still think the Poo can be a better player for what we actually needed than Ginbey. He has flashed massive potential as a midfielder.

I wanted Cockatoo or Laverde over Duggan and Cripps over Sheed. Probably 0-2 for me.

Also SPP was an absolute wish of mine (Venables)

 

[Byron_Clanger]

On Gettable today with the delisted free agency signing period or whatever it is starting on Monday Cal and Riley were talking about Dev Robertson joining us either then or whenever you can sign rookies then Cal said and expect Fin Macrae as well.

If they sign now in the DFA period they go on the senior list. Don’t think we’ll do that with any of them, we just don’t have the spaces.

Look at what you've started Woosha!

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

I reckon Finlay is going to slot in fine with us. Best case he shows another level, cracks the 22 and provides another big body in the contest. Worst case, he helps the Beagles to be more competitive, shelters the draftees and we flick him on when our rookie spots dry up. I believe we also have two more spots yet to fill? He's not my first two preferences in Clohesy or Phillips but hey what do I know?

We always have one sneaky player that has signed on unannounced. I'm guessing Cripps is that guy this year.

If correct, it also means Malakai Champion has also been given a new contract

There’s been nothing from the club to announce either extension so I’m not sure where they’re getting their info from

Not that West Coast signing contracts and not telling anyone would be a first

Details of AFL player contracts for the West Coast Eagles.

www.footywire.com

Contracts on footywire have been updated with Cripps and Champion signed next year. Champion was confirmed by someone on here following a direct conversation with him.

 

[THE A5]

Ok anyone who mentions cripps to rookie list will be themselves be placed on the rookie list

Had the odd sneaky coach do the same.
