Re: List Balance 2024
JOD is a cat B so is it one primary list and one rookie list spots open?

Our main list is full. I will check I’ve listed everyone.

Re: List Balance 2024
This is my version based on where I expect players will play.
JOD seems to play key position as much as Keath or Gardner while Richards given his intercepting skills is arguably as much a 3rd tall/interceptor as anyone else (rejigged the label a bit).
I think Bedendo was set to play wing and was playing his best football there last year so that's probably where he's competing.
No idea why Darcy was in defence the club seems to have him set as a tall forward now and it's where he looks best long term. All of Scott West, McNeil and Garcia are flankers/forwards first before mids in the AFL team and I don't know that I see that changing this year. Even if they get more mid time I think it's stints in the middle rather than as main players.
Daniel could literally be anywhere game to game so he gets his own category.
Added rotations/backup options too since it's relevant when looking at things like ruck depth.
Defence: 13
KPD (5): Jones, Keath, Buzz,
JOD, Gardner
Interceptor (3): Coffield, Cleary,
Richards
Smaller (5): JJ, Dale, Gags, VDM, Duryea
Midfield: 14 (20)
Wing (5): Williams, Poulter, Baker,
Bedendo, Freijah (
Scott/Arthur rotating)
Mids (7): Bont, Adz, Libba, Macrae, Smith, Sanders, Harmes (West/Garcia small stints)
Ruck (2): English, Smith (
Lobb/Darcy backups)
Forwards: 14 (16)
KPF (5): Marra, Aaron, Lobb,
Darcy, Croft
Mid (2): Cody, Khamis (
Smith/Harmes rotating)
Small (7): Clarke, Arty,
Scott,
West, McNeil, O'Driscoll,
Garcia
Mystery Box: 1
Daniel
What has this taught me?
Well I knew we needed a Dureya replacement.
It's shocking how many mids/forwards don't really have a proper position/role for them.
There are a lot of wingers and I have a feeling 2-3 will be cut next year

Is it 44 spots with Cat B's not included?

42. Plus up to 2 Cat B. Total of 44.
So we should be 43.
Edit: I listed Scott twice. Now it’s balanced.

Yes it is and yes we do.
Of course it's expected 2 of those spots will be taken by by McNeil and Duryea.
