Yep, I get the impression that both of them worked as hard as they could to make it.
Honeychurch's kicking probably let him down and TC is probably a victim of an evolving ruck set-up by clubs

Best of luck to both of them. I'm sure that the Suns are still desperate for good clubmen and Campbell might get a look in by Essendon since their ruck stocks are pretty low now.

Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
We've got surplus of ruckman it seems. I don't see any #1 Rucks on the list but we got rid of 2 backups. Anyway good luck Tom, should have got more time at AFL level last season. He'll find an AFL club who can use him.

A big thanks to both players
Yep. For their sake I hope they get a chance elsewhere. But my count we've turned over 9 players, which is a great move by Power
1. Honey
2. Campbell
3. C. Smith
4. Redpath
5. Roughy
6. Biggs
7. Dahl
8. Collins
9. Adams
(10. NMM)
So 9 vacancies (9), less 2 trades (7), less two rookie upgrades (5).
So five picks heading into the draft. 7, 27, 32, 45 & 63. Bring on a 'Super 7', West, Khamis, hopefully in tact 32 & 63. Then three rookie selections. Such a crucial draft for us. I'm stoked Power has had the balls to be bolder than past list managers in turning the list over.

Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Introduction of the midseason draft means that you don't necessarily have to take an okay tall as depth on your list when you can grab a state leaguer midseason in case there's a need.

So that's 5 picks for the draft. I'm looking forward to seeing how this will work out for us

Going to be some speculating after 7, West and Khamis.
I would say we have our eye on a ruckman somewhere.

I'd love to know if we rate another NGA kid, probably Dawson, or maybe Zac Clarke at pick 63.

Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
The one real dodgy player left at this stage is Roarke with a couple needing to prove themselves. I will give him the benefit of the doubt till he gets to 20 games.
Overall a pretty good clean out.

Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Right decision on both. Can hold their heads high, certainly gave their all. Wouldn’t be surprised if one or both get another shot somewhere else.
Pretty happy with the list turnover.
