AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
We will have pick 4. The first four you mentioned can't be gone by our pick.I expect Culley, Derken and Ramsden likely gone before our pick. Possibly Carmichael too.
Carmichael - big bodied mid/forward that hits the scoreboard
Carrigan - athletic tall outside mid/wingman
Jamieson Ballantyne - skillful dual sided outside mid/wingman with speed, agility and great endurance.
Surely if we're taking Turner it would be with our 2nd pick as I can't see him being in great demand at 25 personally?
And I don't see the harm in this. The player gets a shot he normally otherwise wouldn't get, gets a good payout (there's clauses they get a lump sum payment if they don't get recontracted after the 6 months) and the club gets to widen it's pool of players to develop who may become AFL players.I’d imagine Turner would be a 6-month contract, most likely to be delisted at the end of the year if he doesn’t surprise in a big way
Interested to see who we go for, otherwise
I can assure you our SANFL scouts wouldn't be assessing off just one game if we have interest, they would have either watched almost all games he's played the last couple of years and no doubt pored over his tapes.So he had a good game in Round 3 against us..
Has he played any other games like this?.. what other runs on the board has he got?..
Why do I get the feeling this club gets stars in their eyes when they get resoundly beaten by players or even an entire club and they then do all they can to emulate their conquerors.. as if they go “thats where we need to be”..
Ever since we were beaten in the 2017 GF by the tigers mosqito fleet of midfielders and midfield/small forwards.. have a look at how we have drafted our midfielders.. we’ve worked on building a mosquito fleet all around the 180cm mark!..
Now we have a player towel us up in ONE game at SANFL level and it sounds like our solution is “geez, maybe we need to grab him in the MSD!”.. like he must be good if he can beat us.. forgetting that we tore the Bays a new one in the first half before falling asleep completely in the third and having 10 goals kicked on us..
It screams of an organisation that struggles to think for itself..
No certainty to be there at our pick.Carmichael is the one
Maybe I could have worded it better but they would appear to be the most in demand along with Carmichael.We will have pick 4. The first four you mentioned can't be gone by our pick.
That's what I thought you were implying in your post.I don't think it's remotely about winning sanfl. But the reality is it's unfair to other sanfl teams to have their best players taken mid year and play against them.
It's good for the player, they get the shot they deserve, but it hurts the integrity of the competition.
We've apparently talked with Hugo Hall-Kahan from Sandringham for the MSD. He was training with Josh Worrell over the off-season doing AFL level training.
Hard to gauge from that article whether our recruiters would have any serious interest in him or not, given that there's no real mention of his character or whether he's from a good family etc.Always injured to mid-season draft prospect: ex-Haileyburian's journey | Dandenong Star Journal

Finally.. so Nicksy was taking shit in an interview a few weeks back..
And I really cant believe poor seed is still considering trying to continue his career.. its been 6 months and he’s still feeling the effects..
Thats game over you’d have to think unfortunately..
That's my thinking. Even if he suddenly was free of symptoms, back to running and feeling great - why risk the potential impacts of another head knock? It would be crazy and we would be negligent to even let him try.
I'd hope they send him to guard the bee during list management meetings.Nix is obviously a little bit full of shit or thinks he has more influence on list management than he actually has. Given the way his career is tracking, you’d think anything he says about list management going forward would be taken with a grain of salt.
Has he been able to play much this year?Excerpts from a Paul Amy article in September 2020.
Sandringham Dragons leftie Lachie Carrigan invited to AFL’s draft combine
The 17-year-old has shot up in height in the past two years — and with his left-foot kicking and elite running ability he’s also risen in the rankings of AFL recruiters.
He wanted to consistently be in the best players, not talent official Kevin Sheehan alerting him to his selection.
“I slept pretty well after that,’’ he said.
But the draft hopeful with pace and a piercing left-foot did his share of tossing and turning this year as he watched the pandemic delay and then dash the season.
“Yeah, it was frustrating for everyone,’’ Carrigan said.
“We all wanted to play but couldn’t get to the games to prove ourselves. We’d done the work. I was the fittest I’d ever been, felt really good. Then it was all waiting. Early in 2018 he was 168cm. But he was starting to get noticed for his left foot and his running ability.
He’s shot up to 190cm and 76kg, and last year he pushed up for five games with the Dragons while the youngest player on their list.
“His kicking skills and some of the stuff he did was pretty special,’’ coach Josh Bourke fizzed after Carrigan’s second game. “He’s got promise. He’s a very good kick of the footy and a good runner.’’
Port!Anyone hear Roo and Ditts this morning, reckon Tex has a 2 year offer on the table for a contending club.
Any guesses who? Maybe the Saints?
It was narrowed down to one of Melbourne, Brisbane, St Kilda, Carlton, Geelong, Sydney or Freo. Geelong have hawkins and Cameron so probably not them, I don't think it's Carlton either.Anyone hear Roo and Ditts this morning, reckon Tex has a 2 year offer on the table for a contending club.

Could we safely rule Carlton out given their very good key forward stocks?It was narrowed down to one of Melbourne, Brisbane, St Kilda, Carlton, Geelong, Sydney or Freo. Geelong have hawkins and Cameron so probably not them, I don't think it's Carlton either.

Melbourne probably don't need one eitherThat's what I'm thinking.
