AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Sloane is cooked, coming off an ACL.
I will be surprised if he can make an impact at SANFL level.
So you must have thought he played well this year to have such a secure spot on his position ?Smith is far, far, far away from being dropped.
Without him we have next to ZERO run and carry from the back line. Hamill has shown glimpses but can't seem to go on with it, Parnell needs time, Jones often looks to be almost a lock-down wingman at time but doesn't show much offensively, and Hinge is OK but not exactly lightning quick.
Smith's spot is safe as houses.

He wasn't good and if he plays like that next year, I hope we try someone else
That metres gain stat is one of the most misleading stats around I reckon.Nope I didn't think he played well at all, but there's a big difference between being out of form and having adequate replacements fighting for his position, which we absolutely do not.
2nd only to Dawson for average metres gained. You can swing it whichever way you like, Smith gets the ball going forward from our defensive lines.
This is where McPherson and Hamill being destroyed by injuries hurts.Nope I didn't think he played well at all, but there's a big difference between being out of form and having adequate replacements fighting for his position, which we absolutely do not.

Why delist what you are hoping to trade - even if only for peanuts? Both Frampton & Rowe apparently have some interest. Other than Davis, isn’t everybody else contracted?I wonder when the club will announce some delistings..
Bit of coin tied up in Sloane and ROB.
And it was a 5 year deal! Crazy MoneyJesus Christ, ROB shouldn’t be anywhere near that coin

Might wait until after trade period if we think there's any interest in any of the possible delistings.I wonder when the club will announce some delistings..
Collingwood are (inexplicably) reported to be interested in Frampton, much like Brisbane were interested in CEY and Gold Coast in Atkins - poor fools them. Similarly, Footscray are reported to be interested in Rowe. Thus, it's unlikely we'll see either player delisted until after trade week (at which point the respective teams can take them for free as DFAs).Might wait until after trade period if we think there's any interest in any of the possible delistings.
Frampton will go either delist or cheap trade, got a feeling Newchurch isn't impressing coaches so could be a delist.
He should dominate round 1 in the SANFL.Sloane said last night he is aiming to be ready for round 1, which position I wonder?
Even though he just recontractrd Himmelberg may be off to Freo.Collingwood are (inexplicably) reported to be interested in Frampton, much like Brisbane were interested in CEY and Gold Coast in Atkins - poor fools them.

Thus, it's unlikely we'll see either player delisted until after trade week (at which point the respective teams can take them for free as DFAs).
The rookies - Davis, Turner, Newchurch, and Borlase - are all still actively playing in the magoos. We shouldn't expect any announcements there (unless the Cat B rookies are re-signed) until after the SANFL team is out of the finals.
In short... all of our uncontracted players are either likely trade targets, or still actively playing, so no announcements are likely for the time being.
Yeah, that's exactly what we can do - though we can only have up to 38 main list players at any time (then 4 rookies and 2 Cat B).Can't we just change our senior/rookie mix... & have less rookie?
ie. Don't backfill those promoted to the senior list.
Not happeningEven though he just recontractrd Himmelberg may be off to Freo.
Not sure those numbers are right.I covered that in a later post.
In 2022 we went with a 39/5 mix, opting to select Nankervis in the PSD instead of waiting for the RD. We have the option of going to a 40/4 mix, but that only creates a maximum of one more senior list position.
Humans now...addictited to touching screens, think stats arefar more important than they are... accept that the game has eroded into a pressure, tackle, bore festThat metres gain stat is one of the most misleading stats around I reckon.
The trouble was he kept kicking long to our disadvantage all the time and kept creating turnovers.
And then the ball came back with interest.
And there were plenty of games where he was MIA
I completely disagree, sure Frampton is a horrible forward and defender but I would bet my left appendage he is better than ROB in ruck. He is a great kick, now a pretty reliable mark around the ground and moves well. At the same height as Rob, he would be a very handy mobile ruck.Collingwood are (inexplicably) reported to be interested in Frampton, much like Brisbane were interested in CEY and Gold Coast in Atkins - poor fools them.

Frampton was Drafted as a Ruckman, and played early years at PORT as a RuckmanI completely disagree, sure Frampton is a horrible forward and defender but I would bet my left appendage he is better than ROB in ruck.

We had a great opportunity this year to at least give it a try given the crap form of ROB.Frampton was Drafted as a Ruckman, and played early years at PORT as a Ruckman
The question is, why was he played as a FWD (fail) and then as a DEF ? .......it appears both PORT & CROWS didn't see Frampton as an AFL Ruckman
Apparently Carlton have to use their first this year or at least a 1st rounder in some capacity
Yes, but when Nicks did try new roles .....he was criticised for playing players out of positionWe had a great opportunity this year to at least give it a try given the crap form of ROB.
In a rebuild, you should try different options...
I wonder when the club will announce some delistings..
