OE should you move Pickett onto the main contract list? He’s spent the max 4 years on the rookie list so given he’s extended already he’d have to be moved onto the primary list.

OOC:

Gray. re-sign, depth/development
Prestia. likely re-sign for me as depth/development coach, but OK if he retires also
Bauer. gone
Blight. re-sign for depth vs delist, OK either way
Smith. re-sign for sure, reckon he can make it
McIntosh. hmmm, see Prestia, shouldn't be playing ahead of kids
Colina. byebye
OHB. I'm not sure, but with our ruck options so poor we may need to keep him on the list somehow
Dow. I'd be content to delist but maybe another year to see if he goes to another level
Lynch. likely re-sign until the kids are more mature, 1 year at a time
Young. priority re-signing IMO
Sonsie. I'd definitely give him another year, see Smith. Reckon he'll make it

We’ll need to cut more than that Andy. Everyone was up in arms about not taking anyone in the mid season draft, well that’s not going to change unless we open up some list spots.

Even colina finally being cut doesn’t help as he’s a Cat B rookie.

Bauer will open up 1 spot. Looks like we will take 3 players in the national draft (our 2 first rounders + somehow getting kellaway), so we’d need to cut another 2.

I also reckon OHB has shown enough to atleast be promoted to Cat A rookie. He may very well not be good enough but I’d still like to atleast see him play a few AFL games, I’d certainly like to see that before Ryan who is still wild to me was given a 3 year contract.

That is Ofcourse assuming we don’t lose any players to trades which I think we would have heard rumours of by now.

Also was it really necessary to give kosi a 3 year contract? Was anyone actually into him? We’re hawks going to re-sign him? I feel like they wernt but even if they were surely it would have been a 1 year deal anyway.

No, they were going to delist him most likely. Two years would have been enough.

I suspect he's on lowish money though.

Yeah well as I said there's players I can see going vs one more year.

Wouldn't be a big surprise to me if Kmac and Prestia retired for example.

Not because I think they have no value, but more because it's time to move on and upgrade for the future.

What do you replace them with?

Have no 2nd rounder. Need something to give to get Kellaway presumably. It's generally a weak draft pool.

Kellaway will be easy. Assuming the club rate him enough to pick him up which let’s face it when it’s a F/S clubs rarely pass up, we’ll just trade a future 3rd or 4th to get back into the draft to match a bid.

Even colina finally being cut doesn’t help as he’s a Cat B rookie.

Bauer will open up 1 spot. Looks like we will take 3 players in the national draft (our 2 first rounders + somehow getting kellaway), so we’d need to cut another 2.

I also reckon OHB has shown enough to atleast be promoted to Cat A rookie. He may very well not be good enough but I’d still like to atleast see him play a few AFL games, I’d certainly like to see that before Ryan who is still wild to me was given a 3 year contract.

That is Ofcourse assuming we don’t lose any players to trades which I think we would have heard rumours of by now.

What do you replace them with?

Have no 2nd rounder. Need something to give to get Kellaway presumably. It's generally a weak draft pool.

Kellaway will be easy. Assuming the club rate him enough to pick him up which let’s face it when it’s a F/S clubs rarely pass up, we’ll just trade a future 3rd or 4th to get back into the draft to match a bid.

You have failed to explain how if you "cut deep" you end up with players better than dow sonsie blight or whoever you are getting rid of.

In a weak draft pool with not many picks

We’ll need to cut more than that Andy. Everyone was up in arms about not taking anyone in the mid season draft, well that’s not going to change unless we open up some list spots.

Dude all I’m saying is we are most likely going to draft in 3 players. Call it a weak draft as much as you want, unless you buy into this Harley Reid rumours we will be drafting someone with pick 2, 3 and then will come back in to take kellaway.

We have 0 free spots on our list atm so you have to delist/retire 3 players at a minimum (and Colina doesn’t even count in that) and that’s assuming we don’t plan on taking anyone on the rookie list.

Understand?

One senior list spot will likely be taken up by Campbell who's just signed a 4 year contract

Can't stay a rookie

neither can Trezise

Wonder if we will delist a couple of contracted blokes with a guarantee we redraft them as rookies?

I don’t think it matters anymore. There is a cap on the Senior and Cat A Rookies combined total, so delisting and rookieing doesn’t open up any spots as far as I know.

Yeah I just looked it up

Total list is made up of 44 players

But my understanding is the most you can have on the senior list is 38 and the minimum is 36

How many rookies (cat a) you have depends on how many senior spots are taken

I think club may be looking to move Blight on. There was that report that came out that said he was 1 game away from triggering a new contract and he hasn’t sniffed a game since.

As long as either the eagles or freo want him, that should cover our kellaway pick.

Should name him for 1 game, trigger a contract, force a trade :)

They’d have to trade even when out of contract unless it’s different for rookie listed players. Although they could just refuse and walk him to the draft. Just throw us a 3rd-4th rounder and call it a day lol

WCE could PSD him so we could screw them for a 3rd rounder if we contract him another year lmao

It seems like they don’t want to do that in case a team doesn’t want to trade for him and then he’s on the list for another season. I think our list spots are at a premium and they want to keep what little flexibility they have.
