Who gets delisted?

[The Coon Dog]

Now that trade week has concluded, who gets delisted?

For me Mulligan would, but I understand he's contracted, likewise Hooper, so they gain a reprieve.

I'd elevate both Dahlhaus & Panos.

I'd delist Addison & Prato.

So, how does that pan out?

Off: Reid, Hill, Hudson, Hall, Hahn, Addison & Prato.

On: Panos, Dahlhaus & draftees.

[EasternWest]

For mine I'd take the hit and delist Mulligan and Hooper. Being out of contract, Addison and Stack are no brainers.

With Ward, Hudson, Hill and Hall gone that means eight new players required. Dahlhaus already elevated, and Panos deserving due to good VFL form and doing everything asked of him. Barlow stays on rookie list. Six new inclusions. That's enough for this year I reckon, with the view to another 7 or so next year.

I'm done with sentimentality. Let's get them young, train them right and build our own premiership team. If they're not going to get us there, get rid of them. Harsh, but I'm tired of missing out.

[soupman]

I'd give Stack another year. I think he actually could be a capable AFL player, and is still suffering from confidence issues. Whether or not he achieves what i think he can remains to be seen, but worst case scenario is his spot opens up pick 83 next year instead of pick 83 this year.

Addison however is gone, so I'd have my outs reading as:

Out: Ward, Hudson, Hall, Reid, Hill, Addison, Prato (rookie), Hahn (rookie)

In: Dahlhaus, Panos, draftees.

Therefore the same as TCD

[Greystache]

Excluding the players traded out and retired

Main list- Addison, Stack

Rookies- Prato, Hahn

Promote Dahlhaus and Panos.

That leaves 5 draft selections and 4 rookie selections.

Mulligan and Hooper need to go, but I'd cut deeper next year in an umcompromised draft and use our compensation picks.

Would you leave Barlow as a Rookie ie for one of the 4?

[Greystache]

Would you leave Barlow as a Rookie ie for one of the 4?

Yep, I'd keep him and Johannissen on the rookie list.

[The Doctor]

My take would be

Out: Ward, Hall, Reid, Hudson, Hill, Skinner (Prato and Hahn from rookie list)

Upgrade: Panos, Dalhaus

that would give us 4 picks, 17, 39, 49 & 57

-----------------------------------------------------

If any of Gilbee, Hooper and Mulligan are uncontracted then they go too and we use any remaining picks for the ND or PSD.

-----------------------------------------------------

One more chance for Addison & Stack.

[Drunken Bum]

If it were up to me

Out: Ward, Hall, Reid, Hudson, Hill, Hooper, Mulligan.
Yes i am aware that the last two are contracted but i don't believe they do or will offer us anything, they would be on minimum wage or close to it and we have room to move in the salary cap so it won't affect us there paying them out.

I would offer both Stack and Addison a one year contract, take it or leave it, if one or both leave, Hooper and/or Mulligan see out their contract before delisting.

Upgrade: Panos, Dalhaus

that would give us 4 picks, 17, 39, 49, 57 & 70

Barlow and Johannson(sp?) retained on rookie list

[bornadog]

My take would be

Out: Ward, Hall, Reid, Hudson, Hill, Skinner (Prato and Hahn from rookie list)

Upgrade: Panos, Dalhaus

that would give us 4 picks, 17, 39, 49 & 57

-----------------------------------------------------

If any of Gilbee, Hooper and Mulligan are uncontracted then they go too and we use any remaining picks for the ND or PSD.

-----------------------------------------------------

One more chance for Addison & Stack.

This sounds sensible and gives us on top of Panos and Dahlhaus another 4 fresh players, plus Tom Hill hasn't debuted, and still having ND and PSD for more possibles.

[Bulldog Joe]

I am inclined towards retiring Gilbee. Perhaps give him Hahn's rookie spot to coach at Willi and a specialist kicking coach for the team.

That could honour his contract and free up a spot. It would also allow Lake onto the veteran's list for salary cap space if we still need it.

On the playing field I think Stack and Addison both have more to offer than Gilbee.

I also see limited hope for Mulligan and Hooper. If the contracts are an issue perhaps they can go back to the rookie list.

Uograde for Dahlhaus and Panos.

[bulldogsman]

Out - Hudson, Hall, Hill, Reid, Ward, Mulligan, Addison
Upgrade - Panos, Dahlhaus
Retain - Barlow, Johannissen

Gives us 5 picks.

I don't see a long term future with Hooper either, but he had a few reasonable games and gives us some depth.

[anfo27]

Out: Hudson, Hall, Reid, Ward, Hill, Hahn, Prato & Stack
Upgrade: Panos & Dollhouse

Leave us with 4 picks and next year cut deeper with Gilbee & Shaggy retiring, Hooper, Addison, Mulligan delisted with possibly Skinner & Moles to join them.

[ReLoad]

Out: Hudson, Hall, Ward, Reid, Hill, Hahn, Prato, Addison, Stack, Barlow and Mulligan.

There is no value whatsoever in hanging onto any of them, they are not going to improve over the next 12 months. We are better of getting a look at some kids who at least have the potential to be something, rather than those who do not.

Upgrage of Panos (he is worth a roll of the dice) and Dollhouse is a lock in.

Johan is a coin toss, he really didnt set the world on fire, but has shown glimpses. (so hang onto him.
Whilst Barlow is great cover, I would rather us be giving a kid a game, as opposed to someone who we have already seen the best of.

11 changes, that's probably too many, but I do not see the value in holding onto turnips.

[Mantis]

I don't see a long term future with Hooper either, but he had a few reasonable games and gives us some depth.

But is only a one position player so what cover does he really add?

At least with someone like Stack or Addison they can play a number of roles.

[stefoid]

Tell me about Skinner and Prato. Why are they gone?

Stack, I would keep and let Bmac see what he can do with him. Upside.

Skinner still contracted.

I think Addison is the one I would cut. Just cant see his disposal getting any better.

Take 4 picks in the ND

Two new rookies. three is we delist prato.
