Boyd plays on, and is only in danger if a 6th spot is needed. And I can't see that happening.

Agree although all signs lead to minimal changes.
Despite Bevo coming in with a focus on developing our kicking skills, 2 years on and I don't think we have made progress.

Very concerning if this turns out to be the case.
And we simply cannot win a flag with our current ball usage.

Somewhat, although Minson and Prudden must be close to definite departures, Honeychurch surely goes following any interest from elsewhere, and Stevens, Jong, Hrovat and Campbell either haven't received any contract offers or have but also have similiar or better options at other clubs, which would indicate that we will probably move at least a couple of them.
Despite a strong list and every one of the above players being quite capable at AFL level I think we will clear 5 changes rather effortlessly.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

I hope so, I think we need to do 7 changes but the coach appears to be closer to 4.

They have the first pick in the PSD which might limit us.
Pick 19 is overs, would be delighted with that. Pick 37 slightly unders? Does pick 30 sound about right? (factoring in PSD, being surplus to requirements)

I think best case scenario would be a mid range 2nd round pick.
Where did you read this? Would you regard this as a good source or speculation?

To be honest I can't remember read and hear a lot at this time of year . Is there such thing as a good source nowadays ? .. I can't believe the amount of stuff the press and social media come up with and as soon as the media make an "opinion" social media takes it up as fact !
New one going around is trade stinger he isn't happy , Seriously the worlds gone mad !

It's mentioned in this article about O'Meara.
Bombers in box seat for uncontracted star
Western Bulldogs midfielder Koby Stevens, who remains unsigned, is one player who has been linked with Essendon
Unfortunately it is talking about the number 1 pick in the pre-season draft so potentially losing Stevens for nothing.

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
We have 6 or 7 out of contract. That never happens this late in the year, unless we plan to be significant players in trade week.
I think we'll be cutting the list via trades rather than delistings.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

I thought it was more like 8 or 9 Comrade. You could be right.

Who is out of contract?
Stevens, Jong, Minson, Boyd, Hrovat?
More of an In Bruges guy?
