You'd have to imagine this is the case. I'd genuinely be gobsmacked if Maley was cut.

There's also still the question of if the AFL let us keep our extra two rookie spots, but even in the scenario that we lose both I couldn't fathom delisting him.
If we are relying on this back yard suburban footballer to come good ….?
Oh boy we are in a world of pain ..♂
God you are a flog.
Have you actually watched him play this year? He has genuinely been one of the best contested marks across the whole VFL averaging over 2 per game. His ruck craft improved out of sight. His game sense improved out of sight.
For a rookie selection, he has been really solid and at 21 there is still a shit tonne of upside to come.

The club website says 21 and I'm pretty sure he was claimed to be 20 at the start of the season.

God you are a flog comparing the VFL to AFL ?! Tool.
Look how well it went for Sellers in the AFL … 2 games 2 kicks (1 in each) who at the time was kicking bags ,marking everything & taking the Pi55 in the VFL …
By his own admission B Y S F Finbar has said he’s no where near ready to play AFL …
Get your hand of it pea brain thinking this guy will save us …
Need only look as far as a mirror if you are looking for someone with limited brain capacity.
Where in my post did I compare the VFL to AFL? And no one in her is claiming that Finnbar is the next coming of Carey. All developing players have to play in the state leagues and he is doing a fine job considering his experience. What’s so hard to understand about that?

When you win only 15 games across 5 years and never got a start of first round pp whilst Gc have all their concessions and extra list spots
I don’t think we need to worry about losing spots if anything we’d be gaining more

Since when has that been an impediment to getting a game at North?
He's much better than that, anyway.

Agreed - he's on a rapid improvement curve and we now have top end development coaches to further that.
Needs to send all pre-season running though. And the next four after that too.

Finnbar is a project player who'll be given time to eventually be serviceable at AFL level.
Maybe circulating a petition to sack the coach WILL save us, ay!!

Ross, Sellars had only one kick, leaves the AFL business averaging .5 kicks per game. That must be a record of sorts. Also .5 marks.
But I do jest as I don't really care about the devil in the detail.
Think you're a tad harsh on Maley, he has improved a lot and is putting in effort to improve further. Wish a lot of our list had his attitude.
As rookie selection I think it's a great outcome.

Was taking contested marks in the VFL that very few on our list are capable of. Hoping he can continue to take steps forward in his all round game as clearly his contested marking would be a real asset if it can translate to AFL level.
In one of the preseason games this year (against Carlton I think) he took somewhere around 10 or 11 marks, more than half of them contested. Heaps of potential. If he can get consistency into his game and play something akin to that one pre-season game, and kick goals, and pinch hit in the ruck, he could find himself as a regular in the senior side before too long. Sensible list management to have a look at him for another year. Anything is possible with this guy.
