He should have come in this week as we have a lack of defenders. :D:D:D
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
It's probably just the echo chamber doing what it does to create newsworthy noise but a few in the meeja today running with Mitch Wallis to Brisbane as all but done.

Stevo two weeks ago said it was Essendon... Or... Maybe they've had a huge bidding war and our FA compo will be pick 24... (For Rhylee West)
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Is there anyone completely confident, I mean 100%, no doubt, hand on heart, swear to god, that Honeychurch won't get delisted and Roarke Smith won't get another year either rookie or main list?
My post history shows I wanted them both gone last year, but since they're getting games off poor form, I think there's a good chance of these coach favourites eking out another year.

Think back to the 2008-10 prelim teams where we had ZERO key defenders (well, we had Brian Harris/Lake and no-one else)...imagine if we could do a time-machine trade:
Adams from now back to 2008 to help vs Reiwoldt/Kozischtke. Daniel Cross coming back the other way to provide some ball winning/link up play through the midfield in 2017/18.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Oh bloody hell BT you are a masochist. Unfortunately a good chance you are correct.

I actually like the fact we have so many young talls to fit into key roles, they are the future. We just need to get some more good mids and small goal kickers in and we are set.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Agree BAD, historically we have always lacked good talls and during Eade and Wallace may have won the premiership with one or two more. I know game is changing but I still think they will be required, more so if zones introduced.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Sorry I meant to post this a couple of weeks back and it's not much different than what's been reported but it's to be late than never, from a reliable source -
- Clays cooked and knows it, loves the club, no grudges, wrapped he had a chance to play in a flag and now doing a pre apprenticeship course won't on the list next year.
- Wallis has had interest from a couple of clubs, loves the Dogs but needs us to commit to him getting a better crack.
- Dahl good as gone, other clubs offers are much better than we are prepared to match.
- Roughie no contract been offered as yet.

He can be delisted and have his contract paid out.
Hawthorn did that with Mitch Thorp.
It counts against the salary cap, but frees a list space.
There is absolutely no purpose in keeping a player who you will never pick.
The same thing applies to Tom Campbell.

Thanks KT. A bit sad about Clay - but what a halcyon period he had after some very tough times. Will he actually retire? I hope so, I don't like the idea of us "delisting" him.
Would prefer Wallis to stay. I'm comfortable with the rest.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Trying to think who are the 5 we should move on, but haven't thought to much about whether they are rookies etc.
1. Honeychurch
2. Campbell
3. One of Fletch (some trade value surely?) or Collins.
4. Clay Smith if he can't get on the park.
5. Dal taking up free agency
I'd be pleased to see Fletch stay to be honest. Good clubman and depth tall. The rest though, if they get moved on to find some good ball users and quick midfield, wingers that'd be good. Think we are light on in that dept.

How about:
* Honeychurch
* Webb
* Jong

Jongy stays for mine, has improved every year except this one (coming back from an ACL). Has plenty to offer

I agree with this. I reckon our list can afford to lose 1 of Dahl or Wallis, but not both. Of the 2, I'd prefer to keep Wallis, a lot of leg breaks need 2 years to get over and he is still getting back to his best.
