Final update:
MT's List Analysis - update 29/11/2015
Notes (01/11/2015):
* Most of our nine retirements/delistings came from our 23+ year old prime and oldies groups (exceptions: Arnot & McDonough)
* No KPPs/rucks were cut.
* All retirees/delistees were small and midsized midfielder & flanker types. Tallest was Dea (187cm).
* Prime age group is smaller but those cut had no-to-little gametime in 2015.
* Expect us to go small with our first pick. Either another inside/outside midfielder or a small forward. (Tick)
Added notes (25/11/2015):
* Added a small forward, medium forward and a '3rd tall'/rebounding defender.
* Expect us to pick up another inside mid and another ruckman in the rookie draft. (Tick)
Added notes (29/11/2015):
* Finalised list for 2016 by adding a midfielder, ruckman/forward & a tall utility as rookies.
* All up recruited five more mature 22-25 y.o. players and four 19 y.o. kids.
