AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
This shows exactly why we cannot let so many senior players go, thats a scary weak core.So now the question is who do we delist to free up the extra spots to take the picks we could be gaining?
If we remove Baker Bolton & Daniel, that's 3 spots. Grimes & Naismith retired makes 5.
That leaves Prestia Martin Graham Smith McIntosh Pickett Maurice Cumberland Green & Dow as senior listed players currently without contracts for next year, with Prestia reportedly going on in 2025.
For mine I'd go Martin(retired) McIntosh Pickett Cumberland.
That would give us a senior core of 12 to buid around:
Vlastuin
Prestia
Ross
Taranto
Short
Lynch
Koschitzke
Balta
Hopper
Nankervis
Graham
Broad
Tassie in 3 years will double it lol
We have to make sure we spread these picks out.
This might sound silly on the face of it but if Bolton wants to go to West Coast, I'd rather their future first instead of a couple of Freo's mid first round picks from this year.
Yeah they've worked out we are shit and we don't want him lolStarting to think our best move off field has been Matty Clarke to West Coast.
Baker, Graham. LOL
Even West Coast supporters don't want Graham for free lol
Spot on only one i would be upset with is Rioli only one that tries his heart out for the jumper but if he wants to go so be it. Bolton I wouldn't lose sleep if we get proper compensation the rest, Baker has been done deal for more then 12 months now and club knows this.I’m currently at 10 players leaving.

i think its more now or much much later with Tasmania coming inI am concerned about putting our eggs in to one draft. Everyone knows you don’t build a premiership list from 1 draft.
You are lucky to nail 2 or 3 picks from the same draft. Here is our history of our premiership team from drafts
2004
Deledio (traded to GWS)
2005- Bust
2006
Riewoldt, Edwards
2007
Cotchin, Rance
2008- BUST
2009
Dusty, Astbury, Grimes (Rookie)
2010
Houli, Grigg trade
2011
Ellis
2012
Vlastuin, McInosh
2013 -Bust
2014
Butler. Short, Lambert, Soldo, Castagna all Rookies
2015
Rioli, Broad,
2016
Bolton, Graham, Stengle (Cats Premership) Nank, Prestia, Caddy (trades)
2017
Higgins, Balta. Baker (Rookie)
2018
Ross
They might be, but over-investing in one draft isn't the play IMO. Bolton will make them better yes, but so much better that they make finals? I don't think so. Especially considering it looks like Barrass is going to the Hawks. With Tassie coming in we have to hit these next two drafts hard.They might be even better next year with Bolton though. I say we just load up with as many picks as we can this year, then if we feel like there's a few we can trade into next year then do that.
And our own meter maids
Still speculative picks v known talent. No gurantees in any round of the draft.So we turned ty Vickery into pick 29 being shai. And shai will turn into 2 or 3 first round picks.
Amd Graham was after pick 50 or so and being turned into early 20s.
And.both won q couple of premierships
Baker is a rookie spot into q first rounder. And rioli was a late first round pick turning into 2 first round picks
All after winning 3 premierships with us.
You have to say we are making like pirates. The afl wants equalisation to be early picks when you.bottom out but we won premierships and are now getting multi picks. Next premiership starts here gents!!!
Think they are happy with Dow’s development this year. Doubt they will delist himI’m currently at 10 players leaving.
