We don't exactly have anyone else to take their spots, although I guess we could have kept Jonesy and Jimmy Gwilt for another year or two.
seven off the list so far (hayes, jones, gwilt, TDL, maister, milera, dunnell)
three rookie upgrades to senior list so far (minch, templeton, shenton)
maybe weller upgrade
therefore four spaces on main list (three if weller upgraded), unless we retire / delist / trade more out (schneids, sipposs, anyone else?)
so we can take 3 or 4 new rookies, perhaps saad goes in there
but at the moment we only have 4 spaces on the list to fill from the national draft / trades - which would be picks 1, 21, 38, 57 (

i would want to bring in 4 picks from the draft plus the rookies (7 new faces total)
so not exactly a lot of room on the list
