Certainly does, half the list is up. Calls to be made by/on Morris, Boyd & Bob. Adams staying or going. A few recent ACL players up again in Smith, Redders, Smith (& Bob). Priority JJ, Picken, Crameri, McLean & extended 2014 & 2015 draftees like Collins, Dunkley, Webb, Dale etc.

Devise a brilliant trade strategy.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
At least it will be easier to clear the three required delisting's next year with it unlikely that Bob, Moz and MBoyd going on to 2018.

Yep. If Rourke & Lynch get upgraded then we can look at 6 out going players to upgrade them and use 1st & 2nd rounders, our upgraded 3rd rounder and our downgraded 5th rounder.

It's likely there will be no rookie list after next season, just an extended primary list, so the rookies will either be included on the primary list or delisted I imagine.

Would this mean each team will have to delist three players still or will they reduce the number for one season ?

Re: WBFC - Player Contract Status
Anyone want to have a go at prioritising the Class of 2017 re-signings?
I can start you off with:
1. Jason Johanissen
Then the choice is between Crameri, Adams, Dunkley, Picken. Bailey Williams then Lukas Webb then Kieren Collins then Bailey Dale. Murphy, Morris and Boyd.
And still there's more. Redpath and Smith both with significant knee issues would be in the first list otherwise. Hamilton and Honeychutch are decent depth players with good skill but how necessary are they? That leaves Brad Lynch and Josh Prudden. Don't know much about Lynch but Prudden can read the play well and can play senior footy and seems to be in our plans because we kept him around the place. I must have left somebody off? I didn't start out to write an essay, just to nominate JJ as Number One in Importance.
Gee we have a good, healthy list of players, we might have to enter two teams just to make sure everyone gets a game! It's going to be a big year.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

That's why we won two premierships last year.
FFC: Established 1883
Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.

He is one player I will be watching closely this year... Was a big improver through the 2nd half of 2016 and has some serious tricks.

It's that stage of our lists development where I tend to lose track of which Bailey and Lynch and Williams is which. They all just sort of Coelesce into one mass and some come out the other end good players and some get lost along the way.

Made the final of the grand final sprint too from memory. Seriously fast kid with those tricks you mention. I hope his trajectory keeps n it's rise.

A lot to like about Lynch, excellent both sides of the body and can kick a long ball. Lindsay Gilbee type for me, hopefully will continue to develop and maybe see some senior action this year.
