9 years combined for 14 games, all occuring in one season.
That is legendary eker status and neither of them are over 200cm!
Absolute list management insanity.
Geez it does look really bad when you list it like that. Pure insanity.

Fingers crossed Sam Power has the mettle to whip the list into shape because at the moment, it is carrying some serious dead weight.

Yep, we could easily cull 6-7 of these above types

id keep Greene, shows some very good potential, was kicking big bags in scratch matches this season, talked about highly at the club as well.

Injury has cruelled him but 4 years is long enough.

How long can you keep him? He will be 23 in December and played 5 games.
We need to cull at least 7 players or even more if we can.
Retired/Delist
Dickson - done
La Young - done
Greene
Lynch
Gowers,
Porter,
Maybe
Kharmis
Hayes
Cavarra
Trengove unless we can't get another ruck
Suckling - retire?
Almost
Dunks
Hanging in there due to contract
Dale
Lloyd

If we got Hannan and Lonie for instance, then Cavarra is GONE.
Greene, Lynch, Gowers and Porter are definite outs for mine with Hayes hanging by a thread.
I think Trengove and Suckling will hinge on list size.
Re: List Management for 2020/21
I don't understand Lynch being kept after 2019, though Greene I can given he was injured for the majority of 2019. The numbers on paper for Greene look ordinary, but dig a little deeper and they're fine.

Yes, "potential" - but we're picking up Hannan who leapfrogs him, surely. Bailey Dale (if he stays) is ahead of Fergus. Sam Lloyd probably ahead of him as well, and is contracted for 2021. JUH would probably play ahead of him next year.
Kieran McGuinness kicked three goal on Brian Lake in match simulation one pre-season too. In an ideal world we'd be able to keep guys like Greene but list spots will be tight and we're bringing in three kids and Hannan at a minimum, and have flagged that as a team we really don;t want to be getting younger so would consider more mature talent as well.

You know that just because he is 22 there isn't necessarily a huge upside. I suspect he might have already peaked

After his performance in 2018, he got a two year extension.
Re: List Management for 2020/21
It has been a difficult season this one for the players playing little or next to nothing games in the seniors and no VFL. Playing only practice matches. Hard to make decisions on who should be dismissed.

If I had a resource to check these things before I posted about them it would make life a whole lot easier! :)
Apologies Axe, I'll be more careful next time!
Wonder if we shopped him around at the end of last year.

Apparently he only played 4 full years of footy before being drafted. I think it's more likely that he still has some improvement left in him than him having already peaked as a tall at just 22, with less experience than most his age.
From the bits and pieces I've seen of him he seemed to often do something brilliant, soon followed by something boneheaded. However I think it was the Richmond game late in the season that changed my opinion of him somewhat, marking everything that came his way. I would definitely be interested.
Re: List Management for 2020/21
Folks have rated him extremely highly as an up and coming prospect in the past. I haven't seen enough of him, but like Axe what I have seen seems often to be something great followed up by a sprayed kick or something completely stupid.
