yeah, lets just cut em all loose and replace them with picks 150 -154 in the draft.
Only one of those would be starting 22 from our full list anyway. they will slowly be weeded out over time
its never been about cutting 15 in one go from the list proper. its also never been about going to picks 150 - etc to replace them. that really is a big deflection from what most people are saying.
plenty of mature players in state leagues and players not getting a go at their respective clubs who would allow us to value add on those long term underachievers.
the key has always been especially when building a list from a low base is make sure you utilise your early to mid range picks on kids.
i firmly believe we need to cut at least two more from the senior list.allowing us to utilise 9, 29,31, 51,69. plus a psd pick on a mature player and two fa selections on needs.
i would also be looking to take two or three mature players as rookies balancing it out with 3 kids.
most of the glass half fulls are contracted but two mcguane and white are not.
to me mcguanes replacement would be chaplin.
whites replacement moloney
webberley - knights and so on.
moore - with a nd pick in lee or kid like alex howson.
Umm, Claw , i'm not sure where you pulled cutting 15 in one go from? not my post?
actually the post I was responding to mentioned another 4 players to not be on the list next year, so someone was actually saying 13 in one go , and to do so means you are going very deep in the draft to find replacements (excluding possible 1 or 2 free agents )
no deflecting of what was being said, just you not taking the time to read the discussion.
perhaps slow down and read before commenting 
fair enough just read that post.
thing is too often when debating the draft and cutting players people have thrown up we cant cut players because its pointless to replace players with picks 150 odd plus..
we can easily turn over 8 from the list proper and only use picks 9, 29, 31, 51, and 69 . 5 nd picks is what is required plus fa and psd. to make 8. we have 6 rookie picks and can target mature players a total of 14 is realistic imo.
been going on about state league recruits for awhile now along with free agency and the psd turning over the list is not hard.
in looking after the long term future in the nd we could add with psd rookie and fa
martin 22 moloney 29, chaplin 26 , knights 26, hartigan 22, sundberg 24? michael sikora ?, all mature players in one go and we dont have to go past the 4th rnd in the nd with our first 5 picks.
we could also take tom lee at pick 29 a 21 yo whos ready to go or a bloke like duffy 20 yo with 69 whos been playing wafl. both i consider long term prospects and as such kids.we could use pick 9 on a bloke like caddy whos had two yrs in the system and is probably now ready to go.
we can do all of this if we so wished and not go past pick 69.
anyway apologies didnt mean to misinterpret your post.
