Yeah we did, but he is a rookie. I would like to see us Draft either a young ruckman to develop, or a 25 year old, mobile ruckman as back up.
I haven't heard good things about Goetz, but you never know he may come good.

If Minson goes, we need to bring in a back up ruckman that can play straight away which probably means trading one in.

He will want out if he doesn't get a run. No way will he play third fiddle for another season at 31.
There seemed to be a few back up ruckman floating about in last years draft. A few of them are on 1 year deals.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Last year Bevo said that it was a shame that they had to delist players, because he'd like to keep all of them. I think it will be a shame to have to delist a few this year, but that's how it goes.
Bevo is very loyal to all players as well as his coaching staff. I think he will spend sleepless nights deciding who to drop along. Lucky he has Jmac there to make the hard decisions.

Which to me seems like a waste. I doubt we'll find a more ready to go ruck than Minson via trade or by drafting a mature age in a year we should be contending, I like the idea of trying to rookie him or even giving him another one year contract on the main list.

If Will wants to stay, of course. But he'll be taking a mighty hair cut.
Reality is we need to cut into the list. Putting him on the rookie list would be a great result but very unlikely.

Yep, he's over 30. So North get first dibs.

3 players isn't really needing to cut into the list, that's the requirement by the AFL .
Don't think we need to CUT into the list at all It's a good list.
Bring back the biff

I would have Minson as a rookie if he was up for it. Going to be so hard.

I agree. But several clubs could take him before us, that'd be the risk. But i just can't see him and our senior list being together next year so rookie or somewhere else seems the equation.

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
Minson would need both of Roughy and Campbell out injured to crack a game. At his age that means rookie list or nothing.
I really like what Dec Hamilton offers. Seems to have a bit of poise and good foot skills. Such valuable traits.

That only leaves Minson & Prudden gone. Adcock frees up a rookie spot though. Finding another 2 changes is getting harder and harder (assuming we may want a FA or possible trade or the possibility to do so). Which two would you pick today?

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
I wouldn't be moving on Hamilton yet. He's improved greatly this year. I know we've been spoilt by kids like Bont, Daniel, McLean etc coming in and performing but it's the exception not the rule.
He needs to build up his body before we should make a categorical call. I think he has something and hope he gets another year.

Same question as to Rocco. Who are the other two in addition to Minson & Prudden as of today?
