Krak, Harts and Paddy all delisted is no surprise. Tas is a bit but only because he was a recruiter's choice out of nowhere. We should have rookied a young tall instead.

What's the go with Howat. Will he be a 3rd year rookie?  ???

Danny is a very lucky boy.

Danny is a very lucky boy.

He might not even sign with us?

There will be a couple more to go.

[jezza]

Yep, must be more to come. No big shocks there though, the promotion of Gus might suggest we're not going to draft a mature ruck.

Indeed.  Danny could still walk.

We need to have 1 more player go to fulfil the minimum 3 draft choices assuming we are going to use our no. 1 PSD pick.

according to stevie wright , on sen today , he implied meyer is really keen to have an injury fre pre season and be prime for next yr
wright said danny had a bad pre season and season with injury this yr and the way he spoke he sounded as if danny was going no where

Danny can be a good player, the kid needs confidence, stick him at hbf for 12 months and see what he does, we let deledio do it easy for a while, why not try and do the same for a no 12 pick like Danny!

Agreed. I think forward pocket is the worst possible place to stick a guy that is not putting in enough effort, too easy to hide and not be exposed for lack of trying. I did start to see better efforts from him before he got injured again at Coburg.

What's the go with Howat. Will he be a 3rd year rookie?  ???

Just to answer my own question - from the stickied list thread,  Howat will be too old to be a rookie next year so I'm guessing we are waiting to see what's available in the PSD before making a decision.

We have 36 senior listed players + 1 vet (Richo). Joel will be made a vet also so that then makes it 35 + 2 vets when satisfies the first list lodgement criteria on Oct 31.

So we now have 3 senior spots on our list open when means 3 picks - 2, 18 and either pick 51 or the PSD. That's not enough changes for where we are at IMO, so I think everyone is right to say more could go. At least one more.

Agree with everyone on Danny. Stick him either in the guts (inside midfielder) or on a HBF and make him work.

Cant he spend his third year as the "mature rookie" if we keep him?

Would be silly imho but can we?

[jezza]

You can only be a mature aged rookie if you haven't been on an AFL list before which is silly. Poor old Podsiadly missed out on being a mature rookie at the Dogs because years ago he was a rookie at the Bombers I think.
