Correct. So needs to be moved to the main list, so we are at full allocation now and need to make room for our picks.

We've actually got 43 total at the moment as we have one cat B in Moss.
Oh. Forgot about Moss. He will be Category B for 2025 and we can have two Cat B, which forms part of our total rookie numbers, and becomes 44 players maximum. We can have 42 without Cat B. So Moss should not affect how many we have to delist. If Barrett makes it to Cat B, that is one less delisting to worry about.

So we could have 38 on main list, 4 Cat A rookies and 2 Cat B rookies as a maximum.

Hope I make sense.

Davies was so self-contradictory and erratic in today’s interview with Cornes and Edmund. We really botched this and they know it.
We went in with a mentality of, we wont accept anything less than he's worth, then we just accepted whatever we could get.

It's quite ridiculous really.

He tried to spin as much as he could the 3 picks inside our original first and 2 recruits for our forward half troubles, but he sounded like a beaten man who'd just accepted it was what it was. Which is really disappointing.

Pick 13 needs to be absolutely nailed now. The kid must be playing round 1.

I’d like to know why Paul Connors expects the Bulldogs to take a shit deal rather than Geelong to pay a fair price for Bailey Smith?

He wanted no part of being at Port next year. He has no problem per se with the Club, he just wants to be in Melbourne with his partner.

I have made it clear I believe his stance is pathetic given she is a "client services manager" (codeword for admin office worker) who could do plenty of her job remotely from Adelaide, and there were no extenuating family circumstances that warranted a move on compassionate grounds. They could have easily revisited this trade in 12 months time.
So essentially, he is ****ing pussy whipped by an airhead, then?

Those are your words, though people at Port have said words eerily similar to that to me 😂
 
I'm officially super worried about the impending possible trading of Bergman and Butters.
Bro yeah, but they didn't want to be here bro, we got what the best deal we could for them bro.

I don't believe anything he says. He probably just wanted to hang out with Nick Daicos.
 
Club has an article out where Cripps goes more in depth into why the trades were made.

Is that the first time the club has needed to put out an explanation to the trade period?

That article didn't explain shit. Didn't even address what Houston might be worth and why we took so much less.

If we were so keen on this draft we wouldn't have traded our natural pick in it for 2 fringe players.

Unless of course... We're incompetent and making it up as we go along.

Seriously pissing down our back and telling us it's raining.
 
Cripps explanation was basically that we pretty much saw this as our only opportunity to get into this draft and it's the best offer we got. Seems like between our desire to be in this draft and developments in Houstons situation (ie. Really wanted it done), we took the best deal available. I can only assume that Collingwood were well aware that they had the best offer and that they were threatening to walk away from the deal unless we took it yesterday, otherwise, why not give it another day?
The question I haven't heard put to Cripps is what precedent this sets for us. Also, is like to know why we ended up dealing with only North and Collingwood.
 
The club has no respect for it's supporters. None. We just take the easy option at every opportunity
Agree. Is there a fundamental shift in broader societal expectations around behaviour where everything is becoming precious, soft and woke, and a large portion of the more traditional (older aged) supporter base are a generation that expects more? No one will be surprised to hear I am totally disconnected from the club and what it stands for. I actually despise it.
