    Wow. Thought he was about 23.
    He is 23, born May 1988.

      Re: Who gets delisted?

      I really think we have delisted one short. I'd like to see either a 5th pick in the ND or a pick kept for the PSD.

      Next year we could see a huge overhaul of the list with the following players (at this stage) under the pump for next year;

      * Hooper, Skinner, Mulligan, Moles, Addison, Gilbee, Hargrave

      7 in total and possibly several more could join them. That would be too many for one draft.

      Even if all our players are now contracted I still think we could let one drop off the main list and we could rookie them with our last pick in that draft. I doubt anyone would draft Hooper or mulligan for instance so what have we to lose?

        I think we are still a couple short.
        Mulligan should have been a certainty to go and DFA should consider himself very lucky.

          Good call all round Doc. I guess the compromised draft is a consideration for us retaining players this year plus having a couple of additional selections next year as well but I'd be more than happy to go a little harder at it again this year. There still might be another delisiting or retirement but it's probably unlikely.

            Thorne was only given 1 year so I don't think that rule applies.

              Is there an age clause with the rule Mantis? I am sure I read about minimum two years somewhere.......

                Why too much? 5 picks goes to round 5 this year.

                7 picks would go out to round 5 next year because we have two 1st rounders and 2 3rd rounders. And its a deeper draft.

                  Depends how old they are

                  If they are under 21 ( i think that is the age) then they get 2 years mature aged players can be given a 1 year contract.

                  Thorne was 23 i think

                    Getting drafted in the ND guarantees you a 2-year contract, but not neccesarily 2 years on the list (i.e: Tom Lee at Adelaide); it's the club's prerogative on whether or not to keep players on for the full two years or pay out their contract if they feel they totally aren't up to it.

                      I understand the rule as WOW has said it above. It is age dependent or if you have nominated for the draft previously.

                        Lots of people are saying this and its not that I disagree with you KT but geez the guy had a tough run last year. Played 4 games and never two in a row - clearly out of favour.

                        I have some hopes that Dylan can be re-invented by a new coach.

                        I dont blame Eade but a new coach may have a different vision of what he can contribute.

                          What position do you think he could fill?
                          I agree it wasn't an Eade problem and a new coach might have different idea's but I struggle to find a position or than just a depth player for him.

                            It would not surprise me if the new coach tries Addison in that Enright style of half back.

                            Addison is similar in size and grunt, perhaps not as skilled. Never know what a new lease of life will give someone.

                              That is like comparing Mr Ed to Phar Lap.

                                I wasn't making a direct comparison. it was the positional style.
