Cut 8 it aint rocket science.
Trade Blight for a packet of crispy cremes if neccesary will get enough for Kellaway probably. Way too many tall defenders on our list and imo his pace will hold him back at the top level.
Trade young we have so many tall defenders and there is always a club wanting depth.Thats 4 picks in the nd.
Would not promote Trezise does not have enough tools imo opening a psd spot or room for a f/a. Cut Sonsie making a spot for Campbell on list proper.
Cut Bauer fmd we have how many talls again making a rookie spot. pee Colina off and rookie a young ruckman.Have McIntosh retire opening a spot for msd or psss. cut Dow and go back to the f/a pool looking for a simple upgrade.
Make no mistake list turnover is our biggest list management issue and we need to find a way to do it.
By some margin we have the worst mid tier group in the whole comp. We are staying near the bottom for some time so at any cost do not hang onto dead wood.
Your suggested "cuts" are flawed
I am sick of repeating this but cutting Colina makes zero difference to our total list of 44. He is a category B rookie and sits outside the total off 44. Cutting him only frees up a category B spot only not a spot on our main or rookie list
The most you can have on the main list is 38. You want to take 4 picks to the draft get 2 F/As and promote Campbell.
Blight is rookie as is Trezise and Bauer so cutting them either via trade or delist doesn't free up any spots on the main list only on the rookie list. Kmac, Dow and Young free up 3 spots not the 7 or 8 you are suggesting.
So it may not be "rocket science" to you but your your suggested scenario is flawed and won't get you what you are wanting/demanding
