I lo
Can this dunkly kick, and is he quick?
I looked that up a couple of days ago and was very pleased to see we'll have the no 1 pick. Hopefully the first of two this year.

If he’s a better kick than his old man, that should be enough as Andrew himself could at least hit a target (unlike today’s group)!

Kurt Tippet has now retired.

So we can pick 2 players now I think.

I’m not totally sure but weren’t we relying on Tippett to retire? Or does Maibaum’s injury assist (promote Bell or Wicks)? Will also depend on salary cap.
Edit: I’d love to take Freeman with the other. I’ve also got to say that if we’re going to select them, play them!

We needed Tippett to retire so we could take a pick in the mid season draft. So we have just the one pick at this stage.
We used Maibaum's injury to sign McLean during the SSP.

Thanks Robbie, I thought I’d read something about Tippett needing to retire but wasn’t sure. Wouldn’t be surprised if the rule out Smith too.

Depends on the deadlines for Smith. I haven't read when they are

Surgery for scar tissue, that’ll definitely be 8+ however they have the luxury of LTI and Cat B rookies if need be.

did you watch that state carnival in 08? Absolutely fantastic players running around, even a future test match cricketer.
Even though Johnston didn't work out I still think his performances warranted the first round selection

Yeah Tippet has lodged retirement papers with AFL with final payout which happened yesterday.

He has now retired as of yesterday I read in a news article.

This is saying one pick https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-05-09/midseason-rookie-draft-clubs-book-in-young-guns-for-medicals
Kurt Tippett retirement - https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl...ns-blocked-on-father-son-20190509-p51lqv.html
As a result of this I suspect we have 2 picks and the article hints that we want Dunkley as one of them too.

As Robbie mentioned earlier, we used our Maibaum pick on McLean. With that, we only have one but consideration will now most likely be given to Smith’s circumstances. We basically have 2 weeks (3 rounds) to sort it out but salary cap considerations play a part (I believe).

Bit confused, didn't Tippett officially retire last year? Did he have to 'retire' again because we re-listed him in the offseason?

The first article states we have one pick. Kurt's retirement took effect the day before the article was written.
We don't have as yet a second pick.
Why would we take dunkley when the family dislikes sydney?

He retired when we reached a settlement with him during the 17/18 off season but had to re-rookie him for this year otherwise we went over the cap last year and in doing so he un-retired in the eyes of the AFL. Him retiring now is more a technical move as he is a Cat A rookie and could play this week if he didn't submit his retirement papers even though he was never going to.
It also clears up the final payments and opens up a list spot for the mid season draft officially.

There is no dislike from the kids (both did after all nominate us to pick up under the father son rule), just a strong family desire to stay in Victoria. Andrew didn't like the fact he was retired by the club in 2002, but he never stopped the boys from supporting the club, being involved in the rooms after matches or even from training with the club as juniors once they moved back to Yarram.
The club and the family came to an understanding that if a club from outside Victoria or NSW bid on Josh we would match it and Josh would play for us, if not we would let him stay in Victoria. Now that Kyle has been overlooked in one draft he would be more than happy to move to Sydney to play.

I think he can play. He did a couple of nice things playing for our NEAFL last year. He probably isn't as strong as his brother was but Josh played senior footy with Sale whilst Kyle played schoolboys with Melbourne Grammar. I reckon he's worth a look. That said, we didn't rookie him.
