    Actually it was 43 total for this season - what you have copied from that mysterious thread was a current figure (pre Lipinski trade) which was - Jong and Young, + O'Brien.

    We went with the full complement of rookies in 2021 - 6 category A. We can go with only 4 or 5 if we want and increase our primary listed players from 36 to 37 or 38.

    Ignoring any other rookie list movements we could delist Cavarra and Hayes and draft 4 players to the primary list at present. Or say promote Sweet and still draft 3.

        Quick end to Lobb to GWS. No slinking back apparently on $700,000 a season.

              He doesn't want to ruck and doesn't kick enough goals as a forward.
              Looks like a decent player but needs really good ones around him but in no way is he worth 700K a season.

                I guess that means they won't be spiriting Timmy away from us this year.

                I'm still waiting for the 2 grand final players to demand trades as well.

                    No idea but there was a rumour that 2 players that played in the grand final were going to request trades. Leaving their run very late...

                      Oh yeah. I remember that.
                      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                        Maybe they think the deadline is next week? Sam Power is going to have some super awkward conversations if that’s the case.

                          You have to ask how all this gets started.

                            Channel 9 reporting that GWS (Jason McCartney) doesn't want to deal with Essendon due to bad blood from the Cadwell trade last year. They are open to dealing other Victorian clubs for Bobby Hill.

                            I really hope we are having a chat with Bobby's manager

                              Then he should talk to Chris Grant whom he has a great relationship with.

                              Hill & Flynn/Briggs for a Future First Rounder. Plus any live trading re Darcy, say Pick 52 goes to them for a Future Fourth Rounder.

                              A small natural forward, a ruckman and TOB helping defence. While getting Darcy without deficit. OK returnS on Lippa & Young. We’d walk away satisfied. Not the biggest names this draft period, but the right types of players to improve the list. Gotta dream…

                                So there is an opportunity for us then albeit probably a small one.
                                Maybe our pick 43 gets this done providing we have the cap room.

                                Good on J-Mac for standing his ground.
