List Mgmt. 2014 Draft + DFA Talk Part II

[Deanos]

The big question is from our main list, who is in the potential delist spot for next year who is out of contract( Hampson has a year to go so don't mention him)?

Dea, Maddona, Foley, Mcintosh?

Dea would be very close, Mcintosh needs to progress and not stall like arnot because if doesn't he'll be fighting a upward battle. There may also be a few retirements Newman, Knights, Foley. Only Martin and Rance, i'd say are guarantees to be on the list, if their to sign. That is from those that are out of contract. In regards that some of the others that are out of contract may be traded to improve our draft position.

I'd say most of them except for Martin & Rance are in the gun depending on how they play in 2015
I don't think any of them can have a poor year when they are coming out of contract and expect to be re-signed.
Newman, Grigg, Dea, Petterd, Knights, Foley, Arnot & Thomas are probably the ones in the chamber right now, but the others wouldn't want to slack off.
How many go will probably depend on the draft quality next year, which isn't meant to be super deep at this stage.

I was really just looking at the 3 min ND picks we have to make. And add to that any player wanting to play for us.

No one wants to play for us though

Newman - writing is on the wall IMO.
Grigg - needs to find 2012 form or could be in trouble
Dea - needs to find consistency
Knights - needs to show injury curse is over
McIntosh - needs to show something
Foley - needs a good year like Grigg or could be in trouble
McDonough - see Dea
Elton - see McIntosh.

That is 8 off the top without even thinking about it. Didn't include the rookies as they don't matter either way. Think the rest are fairly safe.

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

Batchelor got one touch in our final. Maybe other clubs preferred to hold on to good picks in a strong draft.

They signed him before the trade period with a big article about how he's our future so they must have forgot in his instance. See what your saying though

 

[bananatigz]

Newman and Dea are the two obvious ones who probably need good years to stay on the list, for everyone else there are a lot of ifs and buts

 

[theflea]

Yeah batch got 2 years.

Yep my thinking as well, but assume a few of these will do well this year.

 

[THE_GUN]

Dea,Elton.Newman,Foley,Knights,Thomas,Arnot

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Dea for all the hype has not shown a lot; most likely to be deleted

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Out-Newman,Dea
In-Dangerfield,Sloane
Could live with that.

Absolutely but then we still have to can 3 others.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Absolutely but then we still have to can 3 others.

Getting tougher each year which is a good sign.
Grigg,Elton,Knights,Lloyd,Gordon,Foley all wouldn't feel totally secure,Lucky for Batch & Hampson they both have contracts.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Arnot,Newman,Thomas won't be on the list next year foley is 50/50 dimma loves grigg so he will be here. The one I can't see anything with is Elton hope he has a good year

Yeah this is my point. Good to see really.

Agree but there is no point worrying about rookies as we need to cull 3 main listed players minimum.

Newman (retired)
Foley (Retired)
Dea (trade or delist)
Knights (Retired)

Thomas,Arnot Both will be gone

How about you at least wait until the season gets started before you want to end their careers

 

[Cevap_Roll]

I'm hoping Arnot demands the upgrade

Lambert for me.

 

[Infamy]

Lambert for me.

He'd be next in line for me, but I think he's the type that may be better staying at VFL level for a while to learn our gameplay before stepping in when we get an inevitable injury.
Even if we don't get a long term injury, he's more likely to get a 2nd year on the rookie list, Arnott is on his last chance.

 

[theflea]

It's all hypothetical at this stage, but it is a valid question. At least 3 players will have to be delisted.

 

[THE_GUN]

How about you at least wait until the season gets started before you want to end their careers

How about we go by their age and what they have delivered in the last 2 years and make an assesment based on what they are delivering on the ground
Whilst both Foley & newman have been great servants of the club they are both past it and cant see them getting to their best

As far as Knights goes his body has been shot for 5 years and in todays football you cant carry players that play 5-6 games a year
Arnot has 1 year to prove he is AFL quality,Nothing we have seen so far apart from his build indicates he is upto it but good luck to the kid if he does
