After 2016, I do!

Re: 2016 Cash Converters - Recycling Pre-Loved Players
Barlow delisted , is he worth a rookie spot as a mature age as a Adcock like insurance ? His played in a GF and a few prelims . Cannot believe how much he has fallen out of favour. What's Lyon et al coaches doing to turn these guys off form???

Josh Green delisted by Brisbane after not getting a trade done.
Barlow has had several clubs talk to him. Looks like getting another shot at it.

I imagine someone will give him a senior list spot so he wont be interested in rookie spot.

He's a senior player and no doubt a club will help him in that endeavour. While I don't think we will offer him a spot on the senior list after losing Hrovat and Stevens and having Wallis on a long term injury our depth is a lot thinner and I think we should seriously consider Barlow. I'm hoping we go for broke to win another flag and Barlow would improve our list.

Andrejs Everitt has announced his own delisting!

Re: 2016 Cash Converters - Recycling Pre-Loved Players
We still have the right to have players train with us for a while don't we?
If so, I'd invite Everitt down for a week or two and have a close look what he can do in a zone defence system, with a view only to the rookie list.

I think you still can. Everitt has the same sort of athleticism as Hamling and could be a handy player that could also cover a gap within the list. He was Carlton's leading goal kicker in 2015 wasn't he? It couldn't hurt to offer him somewhere to train for a few weeks until the PSD/Rookie draft

Pretty sure he was leading or second in 2015. They were desperate I understand, but they had him down the wrong end for the majority of his time there. He's on last chance saloon, so you'd hope he'd take an invite to train seriously. If he can't concentrate of our defensive structures well enough to play well, he can go home. But as you say, he has a similar height, weight and athletism as Hamling. As a mature rookie, with two upgrade options early on, he's worthy of a look at training in my book.

I'm keen on having at least look at Everitt. A very low cost replacement for Hamling.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: 2016 Cash Converters - Recycling Pre-Loved Players
You can't teach someone workrate and intensity, especially after 10 years in the system. I don't think Everitt will ever learn these two critical components to go with his obvious talent.

So he & Lewis Taylor want a combined $1,000,000 a year, or 10% of the salary cap spent on just them two....
