From reports, two good performers from the VFL, unable to get a game.
No idea about either myself.

If we get Browne then it's time to close the club. The biggest spud of a ruckman I've seen in the last twenty years. His biggest attribute is that sometimes he gets in the way of the opposition ruckman.

Does the trading for mini draft pick happening during the trade period as surely that will have an impact what we do.

I would think we would want to keep one of our first two picks.

Worth every inch of pick 5 or 6 in my opinion. We need a fyfe like player to compliment the in and unders. Only wish he was slightly better at burst playing but he's a cracker who will only improve in coming years.

I had him at 6 in my phantom draft last year. Plays more like a Fyfe rather then a Jetta.

- Rarely fumbles
- very good overhead mark
- Reads the play well
- Links up well
- Tested good in the repeat sprints and really well for endurance. He doesn't have elite pace though, has elite endurance 15.12 in beep test, 9.53 for 3km (2nd best in combine)
- Uses the ball pretty well, makes smart decisions. Wouldn't put him in the elite category though
- Did a good defensive job in at least one game I saw in the champs, so has that ability
- Has the ability to win contested ball, but doesn't win enough of it. Can have some very quiet games because of this
- Has a very quiet personality according to Emma Quayle.

He was picked up at 4 last year, so we would have to give up pick 6 at the very least if we want him.

Thank you mate.

I don't see an issue in giving up a top ten pick for him if we think he's had a good development year.

From what you've said his handling, decision making, overhead and linking up skills are desperately what we need in the side. If he's developed on another well resourced clubs payroll and can come to us after having a taste then I think using pick six on him wouldn't be the worst thing we could do. It might also off-set some of the ground we'd lose by picking an underage player in the mini draft with our other first rounder.

Food for thought I suppose.

Moles is the latest to be delisted. Brings our total list changes to 6

Funny the club didn't announce it with the others. Not like he needs a presser and a send off.

At minimum, Vez and maybe even Skinner.

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

6 spots now and I'd assume we'll see 2 of the rookies upgraded maybe 3. We've got to either cut a little deeper or trade players out for picks. 5 picks minimum IMO, would prefer 6.

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Could Sherman and grant be traded for picks?

agreed on Vez. I think all the delistings so far have been fairly predicatble and i would have thought Vez was a part of that.

The rest with questions marks over them (Panos, Hill, Skinner, possibly Sherman and even Grant as a trade) will be the interesting ones.

Yeah they can. I think we can trade for picks in future drafts now. I'll need someone to clarify that.

I'm hoping Sherman is one that gets moved on, 3rd rounder would be great, 4th is probably about his worth. Grant I think will stay on.

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

To me, it doesn't seem like Sherman or grant is in bmac's plans. Could maybe see gws or gcoast interested in both.
