    Very unlikely to be considered but he is a good enough player
    I'd be thinking ruck cover. He's mobile, runs all day and is a marking threat around the ground - fits the Bevo ruck mould.

    Seems like a genuinely good bloke too. I say offer him the chance. He is a significant upgrade on Gardner as a depth player if nothing else.

    That is a good point that he is a significant upgrade on Gardner. For us he would be good cover. Whether he is interested in being behind the likes of Naughton, Schache and Bruce* is another thing. On his day he is a good enough player to hold a down a spot on a senior list.

    Certainly worth considering.

    I doubt Bevo wants anyone who openly leaks to the media

    Re: Cash Converters 2019

    A couple of delistings today that could be worth a look

    Wylie Buzza 23yo 199cm from Geelong could be ruck/forward depth

    Kaiden Brand 24yo 198cm from Hawthorn as key defender depth

    Ben Keays - the player whose name we called out in the 2015 draft before Josh Dunkley's has been delisted by the Lions.

    Obviously we were once interested, possibly worth a rookie spot? 22 year old, 186cm mid / forward - probably not an area of great need.

    Any interest in Nick Robertson who has also been delisted from the Lions. Obviously not the most talented player who has been on an AFL list, but works hard and has the ability to run with players as seen in the Semi Final against GWS when he shut out Whitfield who scorched us the week before... Not sure if Whitfield was under the weather, but Robertson worked him over.

    I mentioned him the other day and I think there is merit to look at a player like him.
    Would we likely use him in a run with role? Just doesn't appear to be in our planning

    Ben Keays and James Rose both interest me.

    Can I be a pain in the arse, as in more than usual?

    Are you interested in (insert name here) as a DFA so cutting Dickson? Or as a DFA and us forcing/paying out a fringe player? Or as a rookie?

    I would look at the names I posted above as rookie list options or last spot on the list if we don't rate the depth at the tail end of the draft - can we take one in the draft? I'm happy to offer Dickson another year.

    If we take them in the last spot on the list as a DFA then Dicko/fringe player has to get cut.

    I'm assuming we aren't using pick 89 and upgrading La Young. If we aren't looking to do that, then any delisted players who have been overlooked by all 18 clubs as DFAs could then nominate for the national draft and then slide to Pick 89. I'm assuming the half decent delisted players won't be there by then, especially if there's competition for them by multiple clubs.

    Interesting list decisions if we want these guys. Delisting Dicko, Roarke &/or Gardener (&/or La Young upgraded) are the key to a cash converters decision it seems.

    Anthony Scott - had a great year with Footscray. Looks AFL quality to me as a half forward.
    This thread is probably redundant now it looks like we will only have a couple of picks in the National Draft. The only player I can see as a possibility now is Anthony Scott possibly with pick 53. I think we would more likely go for one of our own than say a Ben Keays type.

    Re: Cash Converters 2019

    Having watched Scott perform in many games this year at VFL level, I would put him in front of Cavarra, R Smith, Gardiner in terms of contribution to team - his selection would depend on whether we need a player of his type, or deem speed the most important aspect of a small fwd.
    Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.
