There was a further comment that since 2018 they have had 95 players through the footy club...I have no interest in verifying that claim but it seems like a LOT.
They have the worlds greatest coach/racist/misogynist steering the ship - at > market rates it's fair to say - and have been receiving priority picks etc from the AFL. What happens next?
How is this viable in any way???
2018: 1 retirement (Waite), two traded out, seven delisted plus three rookies. Traded in four players (Polec, Pittard, Tyson and Hall), drafted four (Tarryn Thomas among them), rookied four, took BTC as a pre season selection. That's 13.
2019: Two delisted, two retired, three rookies cut. 1 MSD, 1 Free Agent, one traded in (Aiden Bonar), three drafted (earliest pick was pick 31). 6 (Total 19)
2020: 8 Delisted (Didn't count Majak Daw as he was re-rookied), two rookies cut, Two traded out (Higgins, Ben Brown). Added 1 FA (Aidan Corr), Five Drafted, added two rookies. 8 (total 27)
2021: One Traded out (Tarrant) five delistings , three rookies out. Two MSD, One FA in, One Trade in (CCJ), Five drafted (Horne-Francis at 1) one PSSS. Polec moved to rookie list. 10 (total 37)
2022: One traded out (JHF), One retired, five delisted (Polec among them), two rookies cut. One MSD, two traded in (Logue and Tucker FFS), four drafted (Sheezel/Wardlaw at 3/4), 3 rookies added (Kayne Turner moved to rookie list). One PSSS (Shiels). 11(Total 48)
2023: lost 2 FA (Goldstein, McKay), four retirements, five delisted, two rookies cut. One MSD, three traded in, Five drafted, one rookied, 1 PSSS. 11 (total 59).
The math adds up. 59 players in/out plus the 40-odd already on the books. Thats an average of almost 10 new faces at the club every year for six years and they easily have the worst list in the league. That's as damning a period of list management I've seen for a long time.
