De-Listings from other clubs

Re: De-Listings from other clubs

Bartlett, Cornelius, McCarthy, Mitchell and Forster all hold a bit of interest from me without knowing the full details on why all have been moved on.

With all the walkouts from Brisbane they must seriously suck to have still been delisted.

With only Richmond still to make some delistings it is interesting that we have the least movement of all other clubs with only 5 off the list.

Not really leaving us any room for a PSD selection but probably more to come.

I'd make a cut on player 38 on the list and wait for the PSD. If they're the best pick at pick 4 good, if not, we improve the depth of the squad. It's a decent pick for a PSD. Especially since pick one is taken on Lamb.

I like what we did last year and kept one spot open for a rookie upgrade. It's one of the seasons why I think Austin and Goodes can be maintained as rookies and as it gets closer to the season a decision can be made to upgrade one. We would need to cut into the primary list a bit deeper though to achieve that. My concern is that we are only intending to draft two players and upgrade from the rookie list.

Does anyone know if Pearce has a contract for next season?

I'm guessing here and haven't heard anything but it's probably something they are working on at the moment.
I think he had a 2 year deal.

I'm happy to trust, but only bringing in Stew and two kids makes me concerned. This type of drafting is usually reserved for a top team topping up, I'm not convinced this is the best course at this stage if our cycle. But that's just me.

I think we are on the same page. I've never believed minimal changes are the way to go and in fact most really strong teams still make a number of changes. There might be a lot of scope to improve the players on our current list and I know it's a costly exercise but I'd like to be selecting 3 more players at the National draft and hopefully one at the PSD.

I guess recruitment of the likes of Young and Stevens last year and Darley this year keeps improving the list.

Re: De-Listings from other clubs

It could well have something to do with the recruiting team's assessment of this draft. There's not much point chopping players and bringing in new ones if they're not going to be any better.

So I'm not alone....

I wanted 6 changes without naming names at the end of the year, excluding rookies as Austin and Goodes can be retained. Stew and Sam is 2. So I'm with you, 3 x ND and a PSD which I'm open to re-drafting. And we should be cutting the 3 remaining rookies.

Possibly also to do with not wanting to bring on too many new players onto the main list this year - the new additions will each have 2 year contracts.

I expect we will want maximum flexibility going into next year's draft given the supposed abundance of talls and some good outside running players available in 2014. There may also be some very tasty free agents next year. We may want to cut very deep next year.

It's a good point you make but one way or the other the end of next year was always likely to be a major adjustment to the list. We could easily lose 8 players from the primary list.

To really give us a lot of flexibility we need to make sure the rookies we have on the list next year are potentially good enough for an upgrade.

This is an excellent point but I would like to see us choose a few new rookies this year

Re: De-Listings from other clubs

I would happily upgrade Austin & Goodes to show the faith. Each has enough to at least be a decent depth player for a two year deal each, even as though the team will likely continue to develop spast them. So we use 96 and 114 for those 2. We brought in Crameri & Darley + we use Pick 4, 42 & 60 (maybe a VFL Ben Brown type) so there's 5 main list changes + we open up 2 rookie spots? Or maybe my maths is out?

Just feel the grass isn't greener on the other side this year so there no point in going much harder?
