Can we also count Andrejs Everitt into that list?
It's a test of Hrovat character isn't it? He needs to challenge himself next year to break into the team and stay in for a longer period. If he takes the easy way out, then I would think he'll look for opportunity somewhere else. I also hope for him to stay put.

It would devastate me to lose any of these 3 wonderful players. I also now think T Boyd feels like he is at home and really one of the boys. You can see his smile become broader, and his sense of belonging grow both on ground with his astounding improvement and when he sang song with the rest of team throughout finals.

Yeah I agree Josie. I was just messing about.

Koby's manager has said there has been a lot of outside interest in Koby.

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
Talk on AFL trade radio of picking up Isaac Heeney. Any interest in poaching him? We must have some Hurley money unaccounted for. Though Wallace suggesting $900,000 to get him over may make Melbourne and St.Kilda more suitable destinations.

I'd love Heeney but not at $900k. I doubt Swans would let him go

I haven't heard a thing on Prudden. I think he'll stay on the list.
Boyd may retire. Hamling still hasn't officially signed yet.
Roarke upgrade?
3 picks will be enough IMO

It needs to be deeper. I'd think 5 or 6 would be better.
We have a very good list but complacency won't serve us well in the short or long term.

Then we could be robbing Peter to pay Paul. Take 5 - 6 away we weaken our depth if we bring in first year players.

Agree with you G, I think 5 is about right. We don't seem to linked with anyone other than Cloke and JMac says we only have interest in two players. So we are looking at 4 picks or 3 if we land a second player.
As someone else noted, if Jong holds value to GCS would we enquire with Prestia or Jaeger, or perhaps look at a three way trade with Richmond or Hawthorn. Do either team have someone gettable we want? Deledio? Tim O'Brien? Duryea? Etc.

I have a feeling that Deledio might be an in. I don't know why but even before there was any suggestion he was leaving Richmond I just had an unshakeable feeling that Lids will be in our colours next year. It's been a few months now.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Deledio mentioned in a radio interview mid-season the boys were hanging shit on him saying he didn't need to worry about anything because he was going the Bulldogs at the end of the year...
Funny or true?

But that's only 2 or 3 more than the minimum changes required. In a good draft with a great recruiting team I think we can bring in players that can improve the list.
We need to find a ruckman either as a quick fix or someone who can at least provide an option for next year. I'd still look closely at finding a key defender. We have Cloke coming in and we most likely need to find replacements for Jong, Stevens and maybe Hrovat or Honeychurch.
I think we can do five changes easily.
