I've been an advocate for cutting the list pretty hard but I would keep Jong around. I think he has a bit of a pod to the rest of our mids with his burst pace, size and ability to be effective up forward. I don't think he is amazing but he is good enough to be best 22 for us. I would however have no real issue if we did cut him.
I think he clearly offers more than Suckling, Trengove, Khamis (unsure if we delist him but he hasn't gotten close to a game yet), Gowers, Porter, Greene, Hayes and Lynch. He probably also offers more than Cavarra (who while filling a role of need doesn't seem to be trusted in it and hasn't performed there yet either) and definitely Sweet although I concede Sweet is on the list in a specific backup ruckman role that Jong doesn't fit *insert joke about Bevo's ruck strategy*. I would also expect at least one of Lewis Young and Josh Schache is moved on.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Lin stays for mine. He has that element about his game that I think we really need. Disposal can let him down, but that half our midfield anyway. He’s hard at it, good runner and good overhead. I think we should at least give him another year. I’d be pretty upset if someone like Lynch or Gowers were retained and Lin let go.
I’m also expecting both Lewis Young and Schache to be gone before trade week finishes. Young to Crows and Schache to North.
I will never see #16 the same!!

I heard a whisper that Collingwood might ask the question but North makes sense
We should keep both players though

Well with the double standards shown by the MC, I wouldn’t be surprised if both players ask for trades for more opportunity.

Players would definitely get an opportunity at North but it could be in a team with a lot of pain for many years.
I guess the player weighs up to just get a game or to be in a team that is stable and can play finals.

True, but most players play AFL to “play” in the AFL, not the VFL. I agree with everything you say though.

With the type of players north cut I just don’t see them wanting Schache.

I think you are right, because the comments were around how Hawks use to have alot of left footers.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
I'd give Jong 1 year and really, he only survives because of our poor list management. There's 8+ guys ahead of him waiting to be delisted.
I don't mind Jong but you can't keep hoping he has an injury free run at it forever, particularly when he's on the fringes. Next year has to be his last opportunity.

I agree, but I suspect he gets two

Re: List Management for 2020/21
I thought Lin showed this year that when he gets a run at it he is a good player and adds to our group
Im fine with keeping him involved - hes the type of player I could imagine having a great September in our next flag

Can’t think of too many other games where Duryea, Roarke Smith and Suckling all played.
So to answer Ledge’s question it was one of our better performances for the year.
