Guess the delistings

[gringo]

I'd add Saunders and Shaggy to pluggers list.

We just signed Shents up to a new contract.

[bergholt]

Saad has been dominating in the VFL so I don't really understand why we'd delist him.

Dominating? He's kicked 25 in 13 games, about 2 goals a game. Averaging less than 12 touches. I wouldn't call that dominating.

He has played well at VFL level but has looked horrible at AFL level after about two-thirds of the way through his first season.
I think he has found his level at VFL and will continue to have a good career there along with TDL.
He just doesn't quite have enough about him for the next step up.

Unfortunately players have to leave the club for various reasons and as the season is just about over I think its time we see who people think will be delisted and retire from both the main list and the rookie list and also any upgrades to the main list.

Retire
Ray

Delist
Siposs
White
Simpkin
Curran
Pierce

Retire Rookie
Schneider

Delist rookie
Saad
Upgrade rookie
Holmes
Sinclair

Pierce to the rookie list

That leaves us with 4 picks in the draft. Obviously trades will change that.

I tend to agree with most of those choices by plugger with maybe Saunders in for Curran.

[plugger66]

Given that Saad was only added as a rookie this season and that rookies are there for two years, I am confident he'll stay on the rookie list.
I'm not sure why Ray would retire. He missed a fair chunk of the season with his hammy and he is struggling a bit now for fitness because of it. Given a full crack at a pre-season he'll be a handy asset to have next season. Shouldn't play every game but has to be reataied to cover injuries at the very least.
Siposs and White are in real danger...especially the latter as he only had a one year contract.

I don't think Rookies are 2 years but I could be wrong. They certainly weren't when Mark Hutchins was delisted.

I thought it was for a maximum of 2 years

3 years maximum. Was 2 years. Rookies are a bit confusing. I think if another clubs wants one of your rookies they must trade for them unless of course we delist them even though it is a promotion to the main list. There are better people on here who know this stuff.

[saint6709]

I would see as delist or retiring ( irrespective of current contracts)

Fisher
Simpkin
Saunders
Lee
Shenton ( or curren)
Pierce
Schneider
& maybe Ray


re Rookie Pierce

Upgrade Sinclair Holmes

Markworth, Siposs & White on make or beak season

[Toy Saint]

Can anybody tell me the status of Payne?

Is he on our list, a rookie or a Sandy player?

[plugger66]

Rookie. I'm sure he will get another year.

1st year on rookie list, key position. would be pretty strange if they delisted him.

[Con Gorozidis]

All year I have been saying Chips should retire but after Saturday I have changed my mind. Could go one more year.

Probably the end of the road for Faz though. Was a great servant for us. Courageous and reliable.

Also Schneider had a career he should be very proud of. MIght have maybe gone on again next year but all of a sudden we have an embarrassment of riches in the small fwd department so that was that for him.

[Goose is king]

I agree with the op.
I would prefer to keep White though but think he may be gone. Maybe we could off load White and our second pick to Freo for their first pick.

This crossed my mind as well. I dont think Freo are that silly. Rumour is they are into Charlie Dixon and Jay Shulz. Shame for them as they need one of those guys right now - next year might be too late.

But maybe White plus our pick 59 for Freos pick 53 might be more realistic.

re Rookie Pierce

I agree with this list, except for Fisher as we can't afford to let him go and his form has been quite solid.

I also think TC is in trouble, Shents will survive the cull this year.

[spert]

We need another strong backman, and more class and skill in the midfield, so to make that recruiting happen I see some medium size players who can't crack a regular senior game, as having to go off the list. I don't want to see older players like Schultz recruited- I would rather give White every chance to develop as a forward if possible

[prwilkinson]

I think Plugger66 has just about nailed it.

[LTN16]

Haha keep dreaming!! No chance of that happening..

[saynta]

White has been carrying a bad injury all year I/m told.

Never had a real chance.

Retire - Schneider (r), Ray

Delist - Siposs, White, Shenton, Markworth, Pierce

Elevate - Holmes, Sinclair

This will leave 4 Primary spots & 2 rookie spots.

Only thing saving Curren, Saunders & Murdoch is they are contracted.

Can Curren, Saunders and Murdoch be used as some sort of trading leverage?

Unfortunately they are worth nothing to any other club.

[GrumpyOne]

Saad has been dominating in the VFL so I don't really understand why we'd delist him.

Dominating? He's kicked 25 in 13 games, about 2 goals a game. Averaging less than 12 touches. I wouldn't call that dominating.

Not bad, considering Milney only averaged just over 2 goals per game as a small forward.

Saady isn't as good as him, and it was for Sandy, but I would still give him another year.

[No Holds Bard]

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.
