List changes going into the 2018 preseason

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

Alright amateur list managers - what's the feeling going into the EoS changes going forward.

I can only really think of 2 obvious delistings at the end of this year in Bachelor and Hunt, any others likely to get the chop?

Do we have to ask ourselves whether Miles stays, considering Graham is a younger version that appears to be everything we'd hoped for?

Is Corey Ellis on his last chance, same with Conca?

I'd assume we'll keep 3 spots available for draft picks so 3 players will need to be chopped at the very least, and I can't think of any likely retirements.

Edit: Forgot about Maric (duh!). Hampson contracted next year. Can we afford to draft a young developing ruck or do we need someone who can slide in and play senior games when req?

That is not happening

[🏅Dooks]

Batchelor stays on every day of the week.

Of impeccable character is the young man.

Are you sure Hampson is contracted? He originally had three years and this is the fourth. I checked. Did we sign him for two more at some stage

[tdy]

Given West Coast is going to go through a list cull would they want Conca?

[Diocletian]

Yes Batchelor will stay at Richmond...as VFL captain....

Conca -unbelievably- is contracted until the end of 2018.

Think CEllis is fairly safe for now, though I wouldn't be against trading him.(won't happen)

Lennon &  Townsend's cards looked to be marked so they're probably both gone.

Morris you'd think would be finished but I wouldn't put it past the club ti give him one more because of his injuries and because we still prefer sentiment to professionalism and success.(see Drummond's re-signing)

Maric retired.

Broad's probably saved himself this last three weeks.

Hamspud will probably suck up every bit of contract and stay.

If Griffiths gets back befure the end of the year unscathed he'll likely stay and if he cracks the seniors again, he definitely will.

Hunt -gone

Elton - see Hunt....

Menadue strongly rumoured to be seeking a trade. Miles strongly rumoured to be up for trade.

Edwards & BEllis should bth be traded but won't be.


Reckon we'll only take the minimum three in thedraft..., the rookie list is being scrapped next year in favour of an expanded primary list so I guess our rookies will either be automatically upgraded or have to be delisted? Wonder if the upgrades will count as draft picks this year?

So by my calculations there ahould be a minimum of 7 list changes and at least 3 will be required to accomodate draft picks.

[Yeahright]

Is Corey Ellis on his last chance,

Gee wiz that is one quick write off. What makes you want to delist a 20 year old, 1st round draft pick who has been constantly injured so quickly over some older hacks or even some of the others drafted in his year?

The only OER sponsored player? You're dreaming

[the claw]

No brainers

Morris
Batchelor
Maric
Hampson
Hunt
Lloyd
Griffiths
Elton
Townsend

The only reason Elton and Griffiths may survive is the lack of talls on the list. Its not a good reason to hang onto such underperformers though.Could easily add others to this list

Others who get regular games but imo would not be too hard to find better players than and who are spineless squibs

B Ellis
Edwards
Grigg
Houli

Some juniors who have to be under question
Drummond
Lennon
C Ellis
Castagna people may raise an eyebrow  but with so many small fwds this bloke is expendable mainly because of his skills or lack there of.

There are others as well but none of it will happen bare minimum cull id say because everything they have done and said suggests they are happy with the list in the main.

[Slipper]

Menadue strongly rumoured to be seeking a trade.

I haven't heard this one. Any idea why?

Batch stays. Seriously how many ways do we have to put it?

[tony_montana]

Maric (ret)
Morris
Hunt
Hampson
Drummond
Elton

on last legs
Batchelor
Townsend
Lennon(trade if we can)

In a shallow draft I wouldn't cut more than that - Id also upgrade Stengle and Moore to the senior list

[Slipper]

Given West Coast is going to go through a list cull would they want Conca?

I wouldn't think so, they feel they lack pace in the midfield.

I reckon they might have a go at Menadue if he is available.

Don't think we will be letting Menadue go.

I don't either, but if he has requested a trade............
