If you want a precise kick on the rookie list, I'd take Matt Ling, Lachie OBrien or Patrick Naish over Benny Davis.
Re-rooking 24 year olds who haven’t ever demanded a spot makes no sense to me.
Has hardly been discussed this off-season ...almost a forgotten man, given last years excitementHately contract expires at end of 2023 season.
If he can get injury free under the guidance of Burgess and with spots available in the midfield…he isn’t gonna get a much better opportunity than next year. We’ll soon see how much he wants it.Has hardly been discussed this off-season ...almost a forgotten man, given last years excitement
Entering 4th year as a Midfielder ......his time has to be now
Except here, almost nobody from Adelaide has been discussed this off-season. He was discussed at least as much as anyone when they mentioned his injuries.Has hardly been discussed this off-season ...almost a forgotten man, given last years excitement

That’s not unusual though. Everyone goes a bit silly over their new toys each year. We’ll see the same after draft night when our 2021 picks are rated higher than guys like Pedlar, Berry, McAsey, Worrell.Has hardly been discussed this off-season ...almost a forgotten man, given last years excitement

I'd say it's fairly unlikely we'd be taking any DFAs at this stage. There's certainly nothing in the delisting of ROC & Davis to suggest it.With ROC and Davis delisted, it looks like we might have our eyes on some delisted free agents. That or we are planning on upgrading everyone we can from the rookie to senior list...
IF we are looking at at least one DFA, the pickings seem pretty slim.
From the list, I'd say only the following might be considered:
Charlie Constable
Jarrod Brander
Trent Dumont
Out of these, only Constable and Brander would have any interest to me. Even then, it is probably only Constable that I'd be keen on.
Anyone heard any whispers? When can we sign these?
Regarding Hately, yes, see how much he wants it, although I don't doubt his ambition. I think it will be more a case of actually seeing what he has!If he can get injury free under the guidance of Burgess and with spots available in the midfield…he isn’t gonna get a much better opportunity than next year.

I'd say likely going with 2 live picks (4 and 33), upgrade one player - Keays, and leave one spot free.I'd say it's fairly unlikely we'd be taking any DFAs at this stage. There's certainly nothing in the delisting of ROC & Davis to suggest it.
We still have only 4x senior list vacancies, at least one (possibly two) of which is (are) likely to be filled via rookie upgrade.
Keays is the least likely to be upgraded - Butts & Strachan are both ahead of him in the upgrade queue, having spent an extra year on the rookie list already. I do, however, agree with you about using the 2 live picks.I'd say likely going with 2 live picks (4 and 33), upgrade one player - Keays, and leave one spot free.

I think we'll upgrade Butts before the ND. That would mean that we're only required to make 2x ND selections, but we still have the flexibility to make a 3rd selection if a suitable pick swap can be negotiated. If it doesn't happen, we upgrade Strachan after the ND. If it does, Strachan spends a 4th year on the rookie list. Either way, Keays gets a 3rd year on the rookie list.
Just out of curiosity, what's the point of the rookie list? Players can be paid as much as they want on there (some doesn't go to the TPP), they don't need to be upgraded to play like they used to, they can be any age, they're the same as any other player on the list.Keays is the least likely to be upgraded - Butts & Strachan are both ahead of him in the upgrade queue, having spent an extra year on the rookie list already.

3x ND selections + Butts upgrade would fill our senior list (noting that we've already added Dawson).So if we split our 1st pick at the draft, and take 3 x ND selections, then upgrade Butts, what senior list and rookie spots do we have open?
How many picks are you planning to use?
What's this situation about the "agreed" pick swap between Pies/Adelaide? Any idea? Could it be our future 1st for pick 4 or something along those lines?
Came from a poster who's had close to a 100% accuracy with news this offseason.
no idea - and how would that even work with you guys as any pick would be eaten up on a Daicos bidHow many picks are you planning to use?

it'd be a live trade after the Daicos bid, but i don't see any sense in us trading pick 4 for a future first.Why would the Pies get pick 4 and then throw it away on Daicos, when they already have the points for that?
Presumably it happens after they've matched for Daicos.Why would the Pies get pick 4 and then throw it away on Daicos, when they already have the points for that?

This is never going to happen lolno idea - and how would that even work with you guys as any pick would be eaten up on a Daicos bid
Edit. Unless we already have another pick trade set up with say Richmond where we get 7 & 15 for 4 and then after the Daicos bid, we flip 15 to you guys for your future 1st .... but that is a lot of moving parts
Obviously the trade would take place after the bid is matched at 3.
There are two advantages:Just out of curiosity, what's the point of the rookie list? Players can be paid as much as they want on there (some doesn't go to the TPP), they don't need to be upgraded to play like they used to, they can be any age, they're the same as any other player on the list.
Why not just have one list and increase the TPP by the same amount as the rookie payments currently not included in the cap?
From an AFL perspective, it just appears to complicate things.
Well you guys have been shopping around pick 4 actively. For pick 1 from North, for pick 2 from GWS, and for pick 7/15 from Richmond.Presumably it happens after they've matched for Daicos.
Not sure why we would do that. It leaves our offseason really thin for a side that's going to the draft.
