[Harry O]

He mentioned Tomlinson as well

But will only take one of them

 

[Scodog10]

Weitering just extended for 6 more.

There you go strike him off the list then as well! CoD’s list suggests to me that Melican and McGovern are the only options and I can’t see a move for McGovern being realistic.

He mentioned Tomlinson as well

Add Thomlinson and Membrey and 3 kids in the draft and it's a wrap - other than the delistees and who shifts from Senior to rookie list.

 

[Matt_352]

Don't need Robertson imo. We do need Tomlinson and one of Hayes or Membrey could even do all 3. I'd rather Hayes over Membrey for height.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I doubt we'd be looking at Hayes and Membrey if we are intending to give Freddy a contract. However, if they don't look good, he's a chance.

Possibly room for two if we utilise the rookie list wisely.

 

[Ugene41]

Bringing in Membrey as a DFA would be the cherry on top of a great period

And Tomlinson. Two experienced proven free bookends as necessary depth.

 

[Jafo]

For those that missed out-

And youth.

Keep Kruges and SSP Hayes perhaps?

Thought Leppa said we had one spot available?

 

[lyfsux]

You leave him alone you bully. He's a beautiful man with a beautiful heart

 

[devize]

I assume this means as things stand and subject to change

If Howe goes end of 2025 - I'd be making McGovern an offer - gives you another season or two of quality.

I actually think Howe will play into 2026 if he has a good run of injury in 2025.

 

[RobJD]

Apparently Mackie has just arrived at Trade Central - mentioned to one of the reporters there that he really enjoys the first day of the Trade Period!!!!!

 

[The Royal Sampler]

He didn’t and we aren’t pursuing him, Leppa comfirmed.

Well I’m comvinced.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Thought Leppa said we had one spot available?

Yes he did, but things can change ....

 

[upnsmoke]

Treloar payments stopping
Pendles retirement
Steele retirement
Cox retirement
Howe retirement

Don't think cap space will be an issue

Jamie Elliot to the list. Remove Cox... he's 2026 retirement

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

That would be nice, but the pool on them will be slim I think. I’ve got Weitering as the only option I certain of. Andrews was never a chance, but just re-signed anyway. The last three I can think of who qualify in terms of tenure are Buckley, McCartin and Melican, but I don’t know their contract statuses (it’s unlikely all three are OOC). I’d be more inclined to poach one by trade.

I could be misinterpreting your comment Sco but Weitering re-signed for six years the other day.

Edit: just saw the other comments

 

[The Royal Sampler]

DGB would be OK as a punt.

I think this is classic “it’s better to be young than good” thinking. DGB had significant draft capital invested in him, then the Hawks paid up for Battle and Barrass because DGB was a spud.

 

[Vicky Park]

Would wait for draft night to do that. Those mid 50's picks could all become mid 40 picks , which will look more valuable as trade assets.

Do we have to wait until draft night to try to upgrade the picks?

 

[Harry O]

Only have list spot for 1 of them

 

[celestial]

Do we have to wait until draft night to try to upgrade the picks?

We don't, but this one of those wait and see situations where we need to assess the draft board and figure out the final position of our picks before we are able to figure out which draft pick to target.

 

[sr36]

Thought Leppa said we had one spot available?

You don't know what list he's talking about though. If he's talking DFA, he may just be saying 1 senior list spot available. Ithink it's likely he's talking just senior list, as he said they still have some hard decisions to make - re the uncontracted guys.

Eg. we can add one as DFA - but we may still add another as a rookie later.

 

[Seedsman_]

Trade radio has been very enjoyable today with lots of opposition fan tears.
