Delisted Free Agent Watch 2022

[bulldogtragic]

Assuming we are looking for a role player, now the watch is on delistings. Brisbane will have a lot, list below not too much. I read something about Rowe from Adelaide as of somewhat interest.

Not many highlights so far. Sproule and Stein from GWS (i think the other forum mentioned we were tracking Stein in 2020 or 2021. Phillips once played ok footy at Collingwood on a wing. We can reunite the Rising Star in Lewis Taylor with thr runner up, with that guy on our list (Not really, I imagine Ronke gets cut, but has only played one really good game from memory). Can WA boy Joel Western play as a small forward. He's was clearly behind some good ones at Freo. Narkle at Geelong.

No doubt there's going to be a flood of names in the weeks ahead.

Taking on a DFA would mean two of the three unsigned players need to be moved on (Wallis, Butler, Martin). Or re-sign two of three just named and be more loyal.





Brisbane need to open 4-5 more spots, depending on their strategy. Here's their uncontracted list according to footy wire:

Callum Ah Chee
Cameron Ellis-Yolmen
Connor McFadyen
Deividas Uosis DELISTED
Deven Robertson Will be re-signed
Ely Smith DELISTED
Mitch Robinson DELISTED
Mitchell Cox DELSITED
Ryan Lester
Tom Fullarton (200cm - can provide ruck depth as good as Martin?)

Hmmm not much there is there.

[bulldogtragic]

Pretty bare right now. Essentially changing the uncontracted depth (Wallis, Martin and/or Butler) or a different kind if depth player that either addresses a specific need, or will get played, or the game has completely passed them by.

I like this thread. Remember, we got Hamling and Gardiner through this channel.

[FrediKanoute]

Got to ask the question will someone's DFA be better than our DFA's? This there may be some guys out there who could improve on Parker, Butler and Martin.

I'm going to just copy mjp here, because I'm a hack and a fraud and he actually knows things, and say we probably would want to try and find someone not given the opportunity at AFL level. Hamling and Gardner (MSD not DFA but still) fit that criteria when we got them.

I have no idea who would be worth targeting though because chances are the players worth picking up are players I've never heard of since I don't watch the lower leagues.

Right now my main question is how many list spots do we have available after the first 3 draft picks?

Matt Rendell guessing we could/should/would be interested in Aarts or Rowe. From a stat perspective, they’re virtually identical:

Aarts - Rowe
27yo - 23yo
177cm - 173cm
76kg - 76kg

42 - 36 Games

9.7 - 12.6 Disposals
2.1 - 2.6 Marks
0.8 - 0.8 Goals
0.5 - 0.6 Behinds
2.4 - 1.7 Tackles (In 2021, tackle I50, Aarts 1.0, Rowe 1.1 - McNeil 1.08)
0.4 - 0.5 GA’s
1.6 - 2.0 I50’s
1.2 - 0.5 Frees Against

Both mature age recruits from state leagues.
Both delisted.
Both only a fractional upgrade on output over McNeil.

I guess Rowe by a nose, maybe, if this is the plan.

[Hotdog60]

Going by the stats I would agree with Rowe winning out on the age profile.

[GVGjr]

Good stuff BT, I'd lean towards Aarts but it's close.

But McNeil wasn't good enough to be a DFA, so of course they're better.

Thought Rowe was younger TBH. Only in the system 2 years

[Swoop]

I'd rather pass but quality of character would also add a contributing factor.

Rowe is more of a natural goalkicker whereas Aarts will provide better defensive pressure. I guess it depends on what we rate higher or what we want in the side.

I feel with our tall forwards we prefer a natural crumbing forward which would be Rowe. I also feel like he has a higher ceiling. Aarts isn't going to improve but what you see is what you get.

[macca]

What has happened to Sydney stack ? I just wonder what were reasons Richmond delisted him ? I guess he may be behind a few small fwds. But with Edwards retiring their must be competition for that mid/fwd role type

I get a feeling Geelong are going to pickup him up as a Smokey and try to
Train him to grow up in their system , like how they did for Stengle.

I would pick Stack over any of these small forwards on talent , if not sure on his professionalism and training ability .

I really hope we wait until after the draft to sign a DFA. If we end up with a defensive beast small forward (e.g. Konstanty), that swings the needle firmly in Rowe's favour.

Thats a good way of looking at it but if we did land Konstanty or Clarke would we need another small forward even if they did offer a point of difference to the player we drafted?
