1. Francis didn't officially have a contract but it was unofficial he had one in front of him
2. I know that it opens up ND selections, however there is no point on opening up ND selections if you have no intention of using them. Having 36 main list spots would make it that they would not be using the spare picks, 37/38 would suggest they do intend on using the extra picks
3. I doubt it too but there is no point on even chancing the 1% chance when you have a certainty result sitting right there in front of you of just keeping them on the main list and going with 38 main list spots. Given that 36 main list spots and both of them on the rookie list is no different to 38 main list spots and both of them on the main list.
4. Don't even know the point of this one and probably proves my point further that we may need the selections at the back end of the ND to select them rather than "risking" them being selected before us in the rookie draft.
I just sat through basically 10 years of us doing almost nothing trade and free agency wise because we always had no salary cap space, while probably 20-25 highly paid senior/premiership players retired or were traded.
Meanwhile Geelong move one player on and that money immediately becomes available for them to spend on a player for the following year.
Who the hell knows how salary caps work?!

The return on investment will be the responsibility of the recruiting team and the coaches.
True, but I'm talking about draft assets.

We have to overpay to even get them to come here while Oliver was willing to take a massive paycut to get to Geelong.
Join the dots..

If that's our read, then I'll back it.
But generally speaking a concensus gets closest to market value. The concensus says he's very late or rookie range.

OK. You have inside knowledge I am not privileged to.

We may need them next year. We do not have retirements possibly until 2026.
3. I doubt it too but there is no point on even chancing the 1% chance when you have a certainty result sitting right there in front of you of just keeping them on the main list and going with 38 main list spots. Given that 36 main list spots and both of them on the rookie list is no different to 38 main list spots and both of them on the main list.
You confuse me with this logic but I reckon the recruiting team knows who they want and where they want them on the list be the main, Cat A or Cat B. They know better than you and me.
4. Don't even know the point of this one and probably proves my point further that we may need the selections at the back end of the ND to select them rather than "risking" them being selected before us in the rookie draft.
And they are more speculative and they are on your main list and next year you have to get rid of better players because you have some spuds on your list taking up main list spots rather than rookie spots.

Haven't you cottoned onto it yet?
On point 2, I'd be surprised if at least 3 or 4 of Rampe, Mitchell, Ladhams, Wicks, Corey aren't gone at the end of 2025.
Suspect Lloyd, Fox and Adams might be in line for the rookie treatment.

So we can draft more onto the main list from the end of 2025 if so. Plenty of spots available.

We may need the extra list spots too to match bids remember you can only match with the amount of picks you have list spots

Yep. I reckon 2026 will be a year we have a few dropping off and major changes to the list.

Nope. 3 weeks to go and small FWD and KPF with first 2 picks. Just JMO.

KPF and small forward with first two unless an obvious slider is there such as a Hotton, etc.
Inside mid/medium forward with the third pick and the left over one for the rookie draft.
Match Cochran with our 4th, we will be hoping no bid comes and we can rookie him
“Hamish Davis & whatever” isn’t an option, so I’ve been unable to cast a valid vote!

Just to note, there is actually a small incentive to move Francis and Hammer to the rookie list, in that we don’t have to pay the rookie part of their salary, only the difference is counted under the TPP.
In 2025, the base rookie salary is $100k so if both are on say $400k each, we only have to count $300k under the cap - saves about $200k

Sort it out people.... or, I'll take the picks, split them and load up on next years draft

It's a shame we can't draft Leonardo Lombard. He would be ideal if we ever needed a ceiling mural painted at Swans HQ or to conquer the entire Western Sydney region through a bloody military campaign.
Oh no. I can only imagine what the 'clever' commentators will come up with.
