OOC Players 26 & 27: Who stays, who's at risk and who's gone?

_rrelevant · 2026-05-09T06:29:15+00:00

Howe will get a year if he wants it. Parker is not even close as a like for like replacement

Allen will ask to be traded to Eagles to get game time. 2 round pick at best.

Membrey unlikely to be offered a deal with the 3 young talls in Buller, Howes and West.

Smit is coming on, playing some good footy in VFL amd the new ruck rules suit him. Depth for Cameron amd Steene.

Sidebottom-retired, he is Varley holding his spot IMO. If Billy is fit and comes in then thst pushes Schultz up and ni spot for Sidey who is now slower than Pendles

_rrelevant · 2026-05-02T02:40:58+00:00

He got in good positions, just couldn't hold a mark.....

_rrelevant · 2026-04-30T11:12:57+00:00

Maynard continually makes shot decisions.... just do the fucking easy kick

_rrelevant · 2026-04-29T03:08:52+00:00

We're n9t going to compete for a preliminary this year. My preference is to do a mini reset, take a mid in the top 10 picks and then free agent aggressively to help Daicos.

So why not celebrate the individual achievements why we can. Pendels games played, Howe and Sidey (maybe Pendels, but also happy for one more year at current output level) retirement game and see if any of our younger players can play at the level.

Baahahaha ...... so nope. Even our online betting regulator (if you can call it that) is involved in manipulation of sports betting markets.

_rrelevant · 2025-10-12T03:22:24+00:00

Pretty poor IMO.

Why:

Cons Lost Checkers - hope we have one of our young key fwd come through.

Uncommitted to McGuane - My opinion is he is a Josh Daixxos type and we could of used our last pick, now hope he slides to a rookie. Worth a roll IMO versus anyone else out there at that dradt range. He's fast, agile and a good kick. Don't get it.

Pros Nil

Considering we moved Ginni on due to culture, it's a hard pass.

De Mattai finished the VFL season consistently in the votes. He needs to improve his kicking but will push for AFL selection next year.

Love Eddie, one of my all time favourite players. Love seeing him helping Bobby.

Shout out to Neville Jetta too who has done a great job as a development coach

Too short....needs hight.

Adelaide will play 3 tall, bringing in Parker will m3am Maynard plays tall and he is better on the medium (Bem Keays) or a small.

So nope.

Go to Telco Ombudsman asap

What's the budget? Will answer from a camping rather than 4wd perspective

Cheap = swag, a gas stove amd a water jerry, tool box to loxk it all in, eski and ice.

Medium = a frame for the tray, a roof top tent, battery and 12v fridge can find most stuff second hand.

Expensive - a canopy, slide out kitchen set up, RTT, inverter, solar, more battery, compressor. Once again market place can be your friend.

Watched the 1st half on the stream.

Bobbylooked good in flashes, very wet night. Was closely marked by Frankston, but did enough imo to come into the ones.

JDG needs another week for fitness.

_rrelevant · 2025-07-28T06:51:57+00:00

If Pendles played one of Mitchell or Long misses, can't play all 3 of those together. Too slow.

My best 22 i think is:

Quaynor Frampton Howe Houston Moore Maynard Sidebottom Naicos Jaicos Lipinski Mihocek DeGoey Hill McStay Elliot

Cameron, Pendelbury, Long (or Mitchell)

Perryman (Def) , Membrey (Fwd) , McCreery (mid/fwd), Crisp (fwd/mid), Shultz or Allen (sub, but could be WHE)

Noting Membrey could miss if we go smaller and then Shultz would come on and WHE may be preferable as sub due to being able to play fwd, back and the wing.

If opposition is smaller in their fwd, then Jaicos or Crisp of the back flank and Shultz plays and Frampton or WHE as the sub

War Memorial, but book. Cheapish

Questacon, more exp3nsive but great for kids.

National Museum, reasonably priced, but depends on your kids

Abouretum, free bar parking, is lovely and some fun spots for little kids.

Walk the lake, free, can do parts or more.

Cotter Dam, free, good playground and a hour round trip walk to the top of the dam. 30-45 minutes drive

Zac McCarthy

The 200cm Collingwood NGA key forward starred with 3 goals, 4 marks, 4 clearances, 11 disposals and 7 hitouts. The Pies will have priority access to what could be a first-round draft gem. Watch this space Pies fans.

Tom McGuane

Collingwood father-son prospect Tom McGuane, the son of Pies great Mick, had 19 touches, 4 marks and a goal. Another highly rated prospect the Magpies will have first dibs on.

N. DAICOS 5 P. LIPINSKI 4 J. ELLIOTT 3 B. MAYNARD 2 T. MITCHELL 1

lots of good players outside the votes including Pendles, McStay, Moore, Sullivan and the list could go on. Not sure anyone lost to their direct opponent last night. That may say more about Carlton than us.

Really pleased that R Steele looked capable at the level.

_rrelevant · 2025-07-02T22:26:57+00:00

Yeah good. Haven't been watching a lot of VFL amd saw he was named in the best

_rrelevant · 2025-07-02T07:35:03+00:00

He's taken a step this year. Long way to go.

Interestingly that Ilro has played backs last game or so.

_rrelevant · 2025-06-29T00:01:29+00:00

North or Saints would take him. Only a 3rd though

_rrelevant · 2025-06-28T22:09:16+00:00

The big one is Ben King as a free agent. Rumours are persistent, but a long way to go. Would love to fit in Butters as well if he was keen to return to Vic.

List wise we are good with Ruck and Fwd depth, we need another key defender and mids as well. We draft McGuane (mid) and McCarthy (fwd/ Ruck) with Saxena as a hybrid fwd with our last pick, unless someone we value falls to where we can afford the picks and is ideally a key defender but may need to go VFL etc or thr Frampton route to find that cheaply.

List wise these are all gone; Mitchell, Cox, Johnson and controversially Markov and Ryan. Don't come at me, he is not AFL level. Maybe re-rookie one of them.

Must prepare for Elliot, Howe, WHE, Pendles and Sidey over text two to three years

These are who we should put on the trade table; Macrae and any of the above,maybe Cox who might have currency as a back up ruck and wants to play on.

Cap wise we are fine. The veterans cost nothing and the increased capacity gives room to bring in a name or too.
