Re: Who gets delisted?
Geez, Skinner fell out pretty quickly. Unless he's massively homesick why delist him? He's only been here for one season. I think he's shown plenty this season for his relative draft position, besides, he's still got a year left at least. DA, Mulligan, Hooper and Stack have had their go.Comment

Re: Who gets delisted?
It was always going to be very tough for him this year.
That showed with some reasonable form early in the year before tailoring off as winter came. I think he also had to go home a couple of times as well, might need to confirm that.
If he's refreshed after a break he may be a more mature person next year and his football may also improve.
Certainly not worth delisting him just yet.
Prato hasn't shown anything, Addison should go, and i would look at promoting Panos, Barlow and Dahlhaus. I can't see us drafting too many players this year, especially with those late picks.Comment

Re: Who gets delisted?
Out: Hall, Hudson, Ward, Reid, Hill
Delist: Addison or Stack - depends what Macca thinks he can get out of them. Hooper if we afford it.
In: Dahlhaus, Barlow (for depth)
Rookie: Panos and Johannissen
Skinner also hurt his knee towards the end of the year. Missed a couple of weeks, brought back into Willy via the two's. I think he played one reserves game then was back in the one's, but may have only played one final (?). Doesn't quite read the play well enough yet but is worth another go around.
Prato hasn't really shown anything. Panos showed that he could play forward and back - only saw one match of his in the backline and it wasn't too bad, would look at another rookie year, he's still young and developing.
Johannissen started showing a bit towards the end of the year, managed to break into Willy's ones and retain his spot.
Hooper just doesn't offer enough. He's quick, but then are a couple of the 1-2 yr players (plus Sherman) so I don't see him having a role to play - pity he is still contracted.
Always feel sorry of Addison, is such a hard worker and versatile but just doesn't have it to go at AFL level. How is it we end up with so many players who are superstars at VFL level but do diddly squat in the AFL. May be worth keeping for depth.
Stack has confidence issues. Generally that's not something that can be fixed. But he offers a bit as a back flanker - when his disposel is up, or as a forward. With moving Hill on he may have a position there.
As for Mulligan - someone at the club must have seen something. You don't give a guy 3 years because he's tall and and built.... if he's contracted may as well keep him and see what happens.Comment

Re: Who gets delisted?
This.
Mulligan has been on the senior list for two years and there is simply no possibility that he got three. He simply must be out of contract.
Gilbee, Hargrave, Addison, Skinner & Hooper all go next year.
We'll have 4 picks in the top 40 and we should have our major cleanout then.Comment

Re: Who gets delisted?
According to a list on FanFooty Mulligan is out of contract. It seems pretty accurate on all other out of contract names, although it does list Jarrad Boumann and Shane Thorne.Comment
