The thread title is my nice way of saying who are we going to delist.
The way I see it...
Retirements/possible retirements?
Hall- He has announced his retirement. I would love him to recant but he won't.
Hudson- Bit of a tough call. If he doesn't want to go, do we keep him? Roughead and Cordy are both very fraile and we can easily get ourselves into a lot of trouble if Minson gets an injury. Is it too conservative to keep him? I would only do it if he is happy to keep going for the bare minimum.
Gilbee- Hear he has a year left on his contract. I would definitely let him go if not.
Hargrave-I think we are almost obliged to keep him on if his foot is anything resembling OK. Loyalty two way street thing, but I wouldn't be pushing him to stay on unless Wood goes to GWS.
Delist/Trade?
Definitely not into the 'lets trade a great servant because he doesn't fit our needs' line of thinking. Odd that the fans who are strongest in that regard are also the most vocal when a player leaves.
Hill-Just has to go.
Stack-I have seen improvement in him this season but I just cannot see him ever making it.
Reid-I love the boy but he is slow, cannot kick and really struggles with the endurance needed at AFL level.
Addison-Like Reid, I really love the way he goes about it but he just isn't up to it.
Markovic/Mulligan-Really don't rate either but they both probably have to stay because we simply don't have anything else. Only possible change is if they rate Panos enough or see a state league prospect we can get via GWS.
Moles-It's harsh but is there much point in keeping a 26 yo runner who will be nothing more than a good servant in the next few years? Depends on others staying or going for mine.
Upgraded rookies
Dahlhaus-I guess.
Barlow-Ed Barlow being a regular part of our 22 is where we are at. Enjoy.
