It must have been more than 6.38 which was the last released time, a good mid should be under 6.30. Just dont think he is good enough to prelist and believe he is an inferior player to Fyfe, Nicholls, Pescud, Gore and Johnstone
The problem is that he is a bit of a turnover merchant and his 2km time was quite poor for a midfielder. We are already getting Davies (who is a much better version) so may be worth looking at other positions like a goal kicking key forward. He also hasn''t really embraced the academy (missing...
What I was saying was that yes a academy could be a miss like Heron but could end up like a Budarick
Joyce , Boston and Dawson had good moments so I think we really need to keep picking local products to survive in the king term as look at GWS once the success stops the go home factor kicks in...
You can't have two many contracted players as demoted rookies as it blows your salary cap and probably means that you can only select 47 players instead of 50. Can't see why Conroy wouldn't be under the same conditions as Budarick and Rosa as recruited same time so with Holman we have to elevate...
Think with the new rotations reductions it may make it more difficult for Harbrow to complete, would be best for him to retire, give a kid as chance and be remembered as the champion he was. His best work will be done off the field now
believe the only pre listings will be Jeffrey and Davies with three above gunning for the remaining rookie spots , think we will have to wait for the senior delistings before the prelistings occur
Think things may have changed with the rotations being cut from 90 to 75 so we may be focusing on stamina at little more , 2km times may become more important than 20 metre times. With 50 spots cant see why we cant take all three if we feel they can make a difference in 2021. With the wage cuts...
What does everyone think of the new rule changes ie moving back to 20 minute quarters , reducing rotations to 75 per game, will that change the focus on the type of player drafted this year ie from a fast burst player to one with more stamina
Afl has just released pay cuts ,
AFL player agents were briefed early on Wednesday afternoon regarding the changes.
Sources with knowledge of negotiations believe this deal is a win for players, who at one stage were facing a 15 to 20 per cent cut in salaries.
As first reported by...
Yeah I believe he has to, likewise Jeffery and Davies will have to be next year and who else if prelisted , hopefully they will still allow us to keep 40 on the senior list and only demote Harbrow , otherwise I would delist two or do a Lyons with Brodie and hope someone picks him up to give us...
Think the cap is due to be released this week and I think we are sailing pretty close hence we are only taking the one draft pick. We will probably have guys even on the Rookie list that will be on 300 K like Murdoch so think we should keep those academy kids that don't get chosen in the main...
Dont think that will happen with us having to drop three players at least from the senior list (not trading Brodie has taken away most of our flexibilty especially moneywise) unless we delist Rosa, Mutagh and / Conroy, the Rookie list will be Davies , Jeffrey, senior demotions and a couple of...
We won't steal another teams academy kid, have enough to accommodate our own. Have heard we will prelist Davies and Jeffrey, have one draft pick then assess our needs for the rookie list. Given the shallow draft (now minimum 1 pick) the rest of the academy kids are unlikely to attract bids.
Agree with Ryan, only thing is the AFL has just announced teams only have to take 1 player this year down from three so we might not see many more delistings
Are any of our players or draft targets in SA atm, Qld border about to be shut to them , will have to quarantine on their arrival back into qld for two weeks.
For young kids that would be a big ask on their own
Could see McLennan and maybe Hombsch possibly getting a gig somewhere as depth but as both are contracted are they up for grabs if delisted guess that's my point
For the draft nuffees , understand we may have to delist 4 players off the senior list onto the rookie to get a draft pick. Think Murdoch, Harbrow, Hombsch and possibly McLennan (if Holman can't stay as a rookie) are in the gun. If they were to be delisted but promised to be re rookied can other...
Have been told that the three rookies that were prelisted have to be elevated this year as part of their prelisting (ie can only be a rookie one year) plus Holman has been a rookie for four so has to be elevated
Budarick, Holman, Conroy, Rosas all need to be moved to senior list under AFL rules, there are 4 development players in the squad that have barely played the game so I think we should use the full 50
Think we will have 50 all up , Cameron said the cuts will be pro rata , ie the lists have been reduced by three for other teams so ours should go from 53 to 50
I have only seen him play a couple of times but everytime I have he has kicked a bag, probably was the best performed of all the academy kids this year so he deserves the chance to see if he can reproduce his qafl / neafl form in the big league. Having said that maybe the 19 yr old is Colenso...
