List analysis

[Francois Jackson]

If we take 7 or 8 to the draft how many do we need to cut? Guys like  Coulthard should go and can we put guys on the rookie list that have acls?

I'm not across this kind of stuff but I'm keen to know.

I'm not across this kind of stuff but I'm keen to know.

Total list size has to be between 37-44 with 36-38 of these on your senior list. The rest made up with rookie listed players.

ATM from what I can see on the contracts list which hasn’t been updated in quite a while we have:
- 28 senior listed players
- 10 rookie listed players

So by my count, we could take all 8 picks in the national draft, but we would need to cut 2 rookies but then we’d have no room left for the PSD, SSP or mid-season draft.

It will be a lot clearer what we plan to do draft wise after they announce the delistings.

What does the Korin Gamadji academy do for us as far as players? Why don't we use it like the Sydney academy? Lobby the AFL for Sydney academy style priority access.

The Korin Gamadji institute isn't a football Academy, like the next gen academies, it isn't our  next generation academy.

It is a educational Academy for indigenous youth, yes there is some sport but predominantly an educational Academy

So as far as I’m aware these are the players on our list still uncontracted for 2025:
Cumberland
Dow
McIntosh
Coulthard (cat A rookie)
Hayes-Brown (cat B rookie)
Colina (cat B rookie)

Reckon McIntosh will get a 1 year deal, we’ve lost a boat land of experience, don’t think there’s any harm in keeping him around another season.

Same with Cumberland. We just don’t have many forwards on the list, think on that basis he’ll get another year.

Dows an interesting one. He got so many games this year, you’d think Yze saw something in him, but given we’ll be drafting 4+ mids to go with TT, Prestia, Hopper, Ross, Sonsie, you’d think there wouldn’t be a spot for him.

Think OHB showed enough in the VFl to persist with him as a Cat B rookie.

All that leaves is Coulthard and Colina who I think are the only certain delistings.

The only one im keeping out of that lot is OHB.

By keeping Blight and Gray we need to keep cutting if we want to use 8 picks. Imo we are crazy to not use those 8 and make sure we have a look in the rookie and psd drafts with pick 1 in both.. By my calcs thats another four delistings.

I'd be keeping KMac as depth, with a view to phase him out by the end of 2025. We have lost a lot of mature bodies already.

Agree on the rest. I'd really like to see who's there for PSD + Rookie 1st picks. I'm open to picking up a mature ruck as we only have Nank who will get injured or suspended, Ryan who is a pussy, OHB who is raw AF and Colina who's just using RFC for back rehab + should be cut.


Otherwise we may be forced to use Balta as our #1 ruck which might actually be interesting and just throw all of Gibcus, Miller, Blight down back.

If I was Kossi, Ryan, Lefau, Gray, Miller Blight or Young I would want to ge a kick next year, they won't all be there come 2027

10000% thought exactly the same thing.

Seems a pretty clear statement in what was billed as a midfield heavy draft

We only got one KPD so the backs won't be as worried as the forwards, we also only drafted a hybrid forward/undersized ruck with  Ryan contracted for three years as Nank edges towards the end with only a couple of cat B basketballers behind him and any list should have at least three rucks. Lefau can also play in the guts - Fawcett, Gray.  & Kosi  the most under pressure I'd say.

Imagine Ryan as your number 1 ruck, can't say I can see it happening, hope he comes good

Last game notwithstanding his best AFL games have been when Nank was out and. he was the #1 ruck.
