Do you have a link to the article? I can't find anything on Google or the AFL website. Not doubting you, just trying to find the article you referenced.
From the article below:

"For instance, it would have allowed Adelaide to list one of Rory Sloane or Taylor Walker as a veteran for 2024 and opened up another spot on their primary list. The idea was designed to keep veterans in the game without sacrificing a list spot that a youngster may have taken, with the veteran’s full payments still counted in the salary cap."

There's a link in the post above
 
Would Geelong do 8 and 25 for 10, 20 and a F2?

Gets us into Wilson/Sanders/O’Sullivan territory, while we can still use 25 maybe on Goad
Just with the way that Geelong negotiated with Port over Esava, they would be a nightmare to deal with.

No way would they do a deal unless they 100% believed they won.
 
Having looked across both the trades and potential draft haul I would say only the following clubs noticeably improved their list

North Melbourne - through handouts
West Coast - by having the number 1 pick, despite Shuey, Hurn and Naitanui retiring
Gold Coast - by having access to Academy players
Melbourne - gaining McAdam and Billings with a strong draft hand
GWS - lost no one and have pick 7
Hawthorn - have pick 4 and gained a handy player in Chol
Sydney - gained Grundy, Adams and Hamling who will all make a significant difference next year
Collingwood - gained Schultz

Clubs that tread water

Adelaide - improved draft hand but lost Doedee and McAdam
Western Bulldogs - have pick 5 at the expense of three first round picks
Essendon - gained Gresham and McKay but countered by gaining Duursma and losing BZT
Brisbane - gained Doedee but have crap picks
Carlton - gained Hollands but have mediocre picks
St Kilda - gained Hill but lost Gresham

Clubs that lost ground

Geelong - lost one of their only young key position players and Smith retired
Richmond - did nothing and have crap picks, several club legends retired
Fremantle - lost players and have crap picks
Port Adelaide - gained mediocre players at the cost of their entire draft hand including next year's first
 
This is gonna be a very interesting season for our list profile IMO. In particular the games played thresholds.

Lots of players reaching the games played threshold where you see a large uptick in form and consistency.

0-30 games (12 Players): Bond, Borlase, Cook, Dowling, Gollant, Keane, Michalanney, Nankervis, Parnell, Taylor, Strachan, Worrell + 2 or 3 rookies
30-60 games (13 Players): Berry, Burgess, Butts, Hamill, Himmelberg, Hinge, McHenry, Murray, Rachele, Schoenberg, Sholl, Soligo, Thilthorpe
60-100 games (5 Players): Fogarty, Jones, Milera, Murphy, Rankine
100+ games (8 Players): Crouch, Dawson, Keays, Laird, O'Brien, Sloane, Smith, Walker

Gonna be very interesting to see what this breakdown looks like at the completion of the 2024 season. Might be a serious shuffle
Yeah, I think this is the year where we get a few answers about some younger players.

A few haven't QUITE had their papers stamped, but it'll happen.

Vader ...putting Schoenberg on the LTI ...that'll free up another list spot, correct ?
Nope. In order to free up a position which could be filled via the PSSP or MSD, players need to be on the "Inactive List". In order to be on the "Inactive List" they have to be out for the whole year. All of our long-term injured players have return dates mid-season, and are thus ineligible.

** I'm making quite a few assumptions here, about the workings of the Inactive List - given that there is precisely zero public domain documentation available (and yes, I've searched the AFL Policies section on the AFL website). I'm working on assumptions, based on what I've seen & read in various media releases (mostly from the AFC), not on a basis of fact.

The LTI list still exists, in the AFL documentation, but is largely irrelevant. It lost all relevance when the AFL decided to allow rookie listed players to be selected for AFL games, without a corresponding senior player going on the LTI list. Now, all that matters is the Inactive List, which is for players like Gibbs, McAsey, and Seedsman, who were out for the entire season.

I think Collingwood did the best

Moving Ginnivan on for Schultz is a substantial upgrade.

Is Shoemberg expected back in the 2024 season ?? ....I thought it was a 12 month injury

I like the look of Sydney. The players they gained are older but they kept their decent first round pick

Melbourne did good business swapping Grundy for McAdam and their draft hand is great for a finalist while Oliver and Petracca are still in their prime
 
Because they need a LOT, and just taking one early pick doesn't help them improve very quickly.

And Mackie said they were looking at trades like this, so there's that too.
Mackie's a wannabe .....a mouthpiece for others ....his performance during Trade Week was deplorable ....no, amateurish !

You can't believe anything that comes out of his mouth
 
Is Shoemberg expected back in the 2024 season ?? ....I thought it was a 12 month injury
The club's "End of Season Injury Update" says:
After a period of rest post-surgery he will begin his rehabilitation and faces a modified pre-season program with the aim of returning to play early in the 2024 season.

...

“He will have surgery on his Achilles this week and begin the rehabilitation process which we anticipate being around 6-9 months before he integrates back into full training."
Injury Update: End of Season

My take on that is that they're hoping he'll start playing again, probably at SANFL level, well before the end of the 2024 season.

I think people use the terms LTI and Inactive interchangeably.

It's an interesting question when we really think Schoenberg will come back. He may be out all year, but we may also not want him without a recovery goal.

I'd be shocked if Adelaide don't play finals in 2024.

Probably the 3rd best team in 2023 overall TBH. So many close losses to good sides.

I would be surprised if the AFL dont gift wrap a good H&A draw for the Crows ensuring we make the 8 in 2024, after the goal fiasco in 2023.

Sydney have strengthened their squad and with a good run with injury should be strong contender IMO in 2024.

They also looked better without Buddy in the side.
 
OK... slight correction to my previous rant about the LTI lists.

The LTI List is documented in both the CBA and AFL Rules documents. In the AFL Rules document it's covered in Section 26. The Inactive List is not mentioned in either of these key documents.
https://resources.afl.com.au/afl/do...nded-AFL-Rules-effective-28-February-2023.pdf

A senior player who is placed on the LTI list is ineligible to play for a minimum of 6 weeks. Putting a senior player on the LTI list allows the club to elevate a Cat B rookie to the senior list, thereby making them eligible for AFL selection.

There is no mention of replacing an LTI listed player via the PSSP or MSD.

It's possible that they may make that call mid-season next year, placing him on the Inactive List, thereby allowing us to make a selection in the MSD. It's much harder to see that happening in time to replace him via the PSSP.

Either way, placing Schoenberg on the Inactive List would not create a vacancy that we could fill via the ND, and doesn't solve our current problem of having 3x ND selections (in the top-20) and only 2x senior list vacancies to fill (1x if Parnell needs to be upgraded).
 
But did any Club .....the Trade Period was all bit players ....You'd have to say SYD did very well landing Grundy, they clearly blitzed the trade period
Do we win the unspent cap award?
 
Do we win the unspent cap award?
It's been spent (or in the process) ...given we have a TPP 95% requirement each year

You can't buy an item, if there's not a "for sale" sign up .....you can try & convince the owner to sell ....but if the owner says no

The one that concern's me right now is Brayden Cook.

After 3 years I just haven't seen it with him. Even after losing McAdam and Doedee, and with Schoenberg and Murray out, if i'm picking my best 22 for round 1, he's not in it. TBH he's not particularly close either, probably would struggle to make my emergencies list.

Gonna need the mother of all offseasons IMO. I hope for his sake he proves me really really wrong!
