Who do we now delist?
Now that Trade Week has been and gone, are we still going to have to make room in our salary cap? If so, we may have to delist some on reasonable salaries.

Well it looks like we just saved ourselves about $150,000 on the Irish fellaborderbarry wrote:Now that Trade Week has been and gone, are we still going to have to make room in our salary cap? If so, we may have to delist some on reasonable salaries.

The Blake, Raph, Heyne, Gamble and Smith would be having sleepless nights.SainterK wrote:Off the top of my head.
I'd be worried if I was Smith, Polo, Gamble, Heyne (even though he is contracted I believe)
You'd think Cahill gets another chance now Lynch and Walsh have gone?
Cahill might just hang on because Walsh left.

archer can be rookied anyway so he should be ok.sainterinsydney wrote:I think Archer is required now with all these big bodies going.
but youd think gamble and raph would be very concerned.
we have a stack of half back flankers - and with siposs and the two new lads gamble is really not in the mix.

Didn't Dawson and Ray re-sign today?dragit wrote:I think one of the senior guys will have to make way…
Clarke, Ray, Peake or Dawson
Gram is contracted, so no chance,
Gamble and Polo would have to settle for close to minimum wage if they had any hope
Smith, Archer, Cahill, Johnson & Heyne wouldn't be guaranteed anything at this stage

I don't see how we are going to get salary cap relief by delisting 20-year olds.
More like 25-year olds. Which is why Dawson and Ray are in a Mexican stand-off.
Their decisions will no doubt affect the club's decisions elsewhere with the list.
Gamble and Polo would be on minimum wage.

Don't think so, they were offered (much) less than they are asking for…degruch wrote:Didn't Dawson and Ray re-sign today?dragit wrote:I think one of the senior guys will have to make way…

I reckon Dawson might walk to Freo in the draft.

This where it came from...is it confirmed? Sounds like no.dragit wrote:Don't think so, they were offered (much) less than they are asking for…degruch wrote:Didn't Dawson and Ray re-sign today?dragit wrote:I think one of the senior guys will have to make way…

Yeah, but he has been very ordinary since.Hammer wrote:Who was it that suggested delisting Gram. Tsk, Tsk.
Almost won the norm smith and you want to delist him.....really?
No point in delisting him since he is still contracted, but I'm a little disappointed he wasn't traded.

Start with the ordinary players who have had opportunity at AFL level - Geary, Gamble, Heyne (only a couple of games but at that 187cm mid-fielder build that is easy to replace), Blake and Polo.
Unfortunately there is no real option on the list for Dawson - unless Watters can identify someone.
Along with Baker, McQualter, Lynch and Eddy that gets rid of 9/10 of our "role players" who have held us back in recent seasons.
Can Watters do a Gehrig and talk Gardiner into one final season?
We really have to push for "pace" and flexibility" - and that puts the likes of one dimensional players such as Schneider and Milne under pressure to deliver across those disciplines when the side next takes the field.

Let me guess Cahill stays?
Of course he does. He isnt a one position player. He sometimes plays in the Sandy one and sometimes in the Sandy two's. This guy cant help himself about Milne.dragit wrote:Milne would be under immense pressure being the best AA small forward???To the top wrote:Start with the ordinary players who have had opportunity at AFL level - Geary, Gamble, Heyne (only a couple of games but at that 187cm mid-fielder build that is easy to replace), Blake and Polo.
