List Management: Keep, Trade, Delist

[MaccaDacca]

I think we all knew these would be the de-listings for a while now.

Interesting if RCD or Stacky get a lifeline.

[Tiger Khosh]

Primary List: 34
Cat A Rookies: 3
Cat B Rookies: 1

Think we’ll use both picks in the national draft to bring us up to 36 on the primary list and then take either 2 or 3 players in the pre-season draft depending on whether we upgrade Miller to bring our cat A rookie list up to 5. This will leave one rookie spot open for the mid-season draft.

I'm disappointed that Stack's gone. WIll probably get his attitude together now and do a Stengle.

[eliminator]

Disappointed Stack has gone as well.

[Tiger Khosh]

People realise that between the time Stengle played for us and Geelong that he spent 2 seasons on the crows list before being delisted after being pulled over by the cops in possession of cocaine and spent a further season playing in the state leagues. Hardly a poor list decision from us especially since he asked to be traded home to South Australia.

[one-eyed]

Freo won't be picking up Stack - at least not this year. They want him to get fit and committed to playing footy and prove it by having a good season next year in the WAFL.

-------------------------

Meanwhile, Richmond’s delisting of Sydney Stack prompted the suggestion Fremantle could use his services.

Stack – a West Australian – wasn’t offered a new contract for 2023 after just two games in 2022. But despite the talent that made him Richmond’s best first-year player in 2019, Walls said the club won’t pursue the 22-year-old.

“I’d say no,” Walls responded when asked about the possibility of recruiting Stack.

“We’ve looked at Sydney previously and through the draft, he’s probably got to show that he can get himself fit and he’s dedicated and come back through the WAFL and have a really good season.

“If he can do that we’d definitely have a look at him.”

No surprise about Aarts and Martyn. Sadly, VFL standard footballers at best.

RCD if he had remained would've only been moved further down our midfield pecking order now that Taranto & Hopper have arrived. In hindsight, he never seemed to be in Dimma's plans despite claims otherwise he was being set for Cotch's role. Another club that plays a different way to us may give him another go.

The Club clearly lost patience after 4 years waiting for Stack to mature. Sounds like other clubs will be like Freo and hope Stack does a Stengle in year or two's time.

I think that's the way we will go too, TK.

Going by what Blair Hartley said about being excited by what will be around later in the draft, it sounds like we will use both picks 53 & 63 in the National Draft.

From a salary cap point of view, I think Miller will remain as a rookie. That then allows us two picks (#12 & #30) in the rookie draft keeping a rookie spot open for either the SPSS or MSD.

I think we should’ve kept Stack.

[camboon]

I think stack and RCD will get a crack on a Rookie list, and I hope  it  works out well if they get another chance

[WilliamPowell]

Not surprised by any of the delistings TBBH

[Andyy]

Can't believe anyone would be surprised or disappointed by Stack being delisted.

He literally had one good year, about 4 years ago, and has been crap and unfit/unprofessional ever since.

Time to move on. We've given him multiple chances.

Agree re Miller. There’s really no benefit from a list perspective other than rewarding the player for their improvements.

Do we normally take a player through the SPSS? I know that’s how we got stack but can’t think of any others. In which case I think we take 2 each in the national and preseason draft leaving one rookie spot open in the mid-season draft.

[Francois Jackson]

what has Ross produced during that time. SFA apart from a few games this year.
 
Stack should be re-rookied and as for RCD well if given a chance i think he would have produced something. Clearly not liked and I don’t agree with either decision.

Would hope at least goes on to kill it at another club.

Commitment, professionalism and improvement.

Stack has been lazy, unfit, non-committal and gone backwards in form because of it.
