I just want us to take Robey and Taylor. Robey for all that he could become, and Taylor because of the way he moves. I've watched a bit of tape on him this week and he's a big jungle cat. Fast feet, explosive and I think he probably ends up a mid/utlity.

"Opening Round"....What a joke

Fans hate it, no one really wants it apart from the broadcasters but it remains

It's just like the stand rule... cany flick it because it would mean HQ stuffed up

Been wanted Mutaz rookied for a while now.

Dunno about draft Taylor at P3-4, this guy looks like a very useful medium back.

They say El Nour is a chance every year. But so far he's been over looked time and time again which doesn't surprise me.

Will confess I'm not a fan. For every great act there are a multiple brain fades, lazy efforts or terrible decisions...

What happened to a top4 side thinking he is worth a spot?

Still time for him to find a new AFL home....

Only 4 changes. Im honestly not surprised. This program is honestly amateurish. Not because of gender but because of the diabolical decisions that continue to be made by this wing of the club. 4 changes. My god.

Grace is not a perfect player but I'll die on the hill she fits in as a depth player in a top 4 side without blinking. At her age it's crazy to delist her, as I said if 10 go with her in a clean out I can accept a new era at the un with a heap of fresh players. But somehow. Same coach, same players minus the player who was rather by coaches as best player for Rich and the last 2 games ahead of Conti.. mind boggling.

I genuinely want the AFLW team to work and be successful but honestly there is only so much energy you can out towards supporting it when diabolically stupid decisions continue to be made and by people that simply don't seem qualified or experienced to do so.

Id welcome Grieves getting more opportunities, that can easily be done by playing behind Grace. We can simply rotate and modify roles without delisted our highest ranked players. Id consider that to be flexibly tactical coaching. Be interesting to see what that looks like one day for our AFLW side.

Excellent post TL.

But....

So far it is 5 outs

The 3 from yesterday who aren't being delisted but haven't been offered contracts

Plus, Hicks and Lavey

It will end up being 6 because despite yesterday's statement (spin) from the Club around Grace Egan if she doesn't get traded she isn't going to be offered another contact which means in this day and age she's likely going to be delisted

For me at least there are easily another 3 I'd cut but clearly as it stands right now that isn't going to happen

The three delistings were all fringe players so we are going to see the same tripe next year

Well hopefully after another crap season next year they will get rid of Fergie and that recruiter person

Shame it will be too late to see Mon play in a good side

Just think sharps type can be picked up via trade or draft pretty easily.

Taranto, Hopper, Tom Mitchell, Clayton Oliver,  Jack Mccrae, Jack Steele all fall into that type of player and they’ve moved clubs, most of them for not much of a price either. Clubs just don’t value these types like they used to.

On the flip side if you are an absolute BEAST of an inside player with a burst to break away from packs then you could be viewed as a Matt Rowell ceiling type. So that’s where sharp would have to get to which I don’t see happening
