List build - where are we going in the next 70,000 posts? (Part 3)

Tassie offers pick 5 for Caddy

Who are these guns of which you speak? We have one and he’s about to go to Hawthorn.

Ridley?

True.

so we can get forget about getting picks from Tassie then unless we part with some one like Caddy

Yeah could be an option. Gonna be an interesting couple of years for him before that juncture. His career has ground to a halt. Let’s hope he can get going again.

Or we trade a future 1st for their 1st. Just having them available for trade is helpful.

Ironically the Eagles beat us in their last finals win.

Ricky Dyson and 3rd for pick 5

Lol. Up there with “we should have got a compo pick for Conor McKenna” even though he was out of the league for TWO years.

AFl could have helped us if they wanted.

That was my son’s first game. He was so happy just to be at the Football and cheered all the goals. All the friggin goals.

We are not an interstate club we will never get help

They just did. Rodan will now be eligible for our NGA in 2027.

So this whole AFL compensating teams who lose OoC (non FA) who are treated like FA anyway is going to result in more Compensation picks in 2027/28, further compromising it, isn’t it?

As long as they accept that we had him in our academy from his 15th year (4 year pre-draft) even though he was not eligible until next year

Where it sits with list spots

  • Assume we take 3 picks to the draft and the 2 academy kids
  • If we bring in another player like Steele - it means trade/pay out a contracted player
  • We could also trade a pick into the future or bundle picks and only use 4 in the draft.
  • Can’t see any of the uncontracted staying

I think you should remove the two NGA players. There is no guarantee we pick them up, and El Achkar might be Cat B even if we do. Or at least put them down in blue alongside Steele.

The list also excludes Merret as a possible out, like Gresham is.

The key takeaway is that at the moment we have 3 list spots open.

Yeah fair call, I did make it as part of the assumptions.

This is fluid but it give an idea of where it sits
