Should try trading Jackson, Edwards and Newman. Sell them off while they might have some value. Keep McGuane. He is still young. Unlike most talls, he is good at ground level and defensively. Can play HF with Cloke at CHF and Jack at FF. Should stretch any defence.
assuning we have picks close to 8, 30,31, 48, 64, psd, free agency.
likely list proper trade/delists
.
browne/derickx/graham - as wp said graham is contracted so i reckon he will be the one they retain. the other two gone. means we need to draft a young ruckman and a mid.
connors/macdonald - gone means we need to draft a medium sized forward and one mid.
webberley - vfl standard. hbf we have a few so his spot may go to a genuine mid.
white - vfl standard. should be replaced by a genuine mid.
mcguane - out of contract and offers nothing. need to draft a tall defender or two.
likely rookies to get cut
miller - offers nothing. replace with tall forward.
heslin - already gone. hbf but as stated we have that covered take a positional need.
maybe one other possibly verrier maybe even a maric.
your post has 9 from the list proper it wont happen. reckon 7 is the absolute maximum they will chop from list proper. 9 would be great but that would mean we cut contracted players i think.unbelievably we may even have to cut contracted players to get 7 delists not 100% sure.
of those 9 i reckon moore ohanlon and one of the ruckmen are safe.
i also think a maric will be retained on the rookie list.
