I really like your way of thinking.
Rosich on radio was very pleased by having four picks in this draft.
Trading out 43 makes sense to me but I would keep 65 for Carter.

By my count we have 38 contracted players. If we are to use four picks there must be two more delistings. With Colyer coming in could one be Ballaz? Kersten has also be talked about, but according to Bell Harley Bennel is safe. I think Stramidica has the most potential of Jones, Meeks and Apeness (who I would've said had the most if he hadn't got injured again) but he is also unsigned. Perhaps we do what we did with DeLuca and de-list then rookie Jones and delist Apeness or Kersten. That would leave us with four picks and only one contract to pay out. We have two vacancies on the rookie list if Stramidica is unsigned. One for Medhat and one for Jones possibly. Another option is to move up the draft by combining picks 31 and 43for one pick and keeping 65 for Carter and then de-list and rookie Jones resulting in no payouts and not adding to our salary cap. If we did that then we should ask a wafl club to take on board one or two of Apeness, Meeks and Jones as they won't get enough game time if they stay at Peel. Personally id delist Kersten, Apeness and Ballantyne with Jones de-listed and rookied. Giving us five picks in the draft. With the last two for Carter and Medhat.
Medhat will be cat b if he is a rookie
This is outside the normal list.
Agree with everything else .
Sheridan, Sutcliffe, Grey...I'd delist and re-rookie one of the talls.
3 players plus the out of contract players.
3 + these players delisted Brady Grey, Tommy Sheridan, Luke Strnadica, Cameron Sutcliffe.
Only 2 if we have 40 on the main list.
We have 39 on the list after we delist these guys. Nads is a rookie so I'd keep him.
4 picks one spot does not add up.
Need to cut contracted players.

Agree, that is what I was saying
I think next year there could be up to 6 or 7 moved on or retired. I say up to, since we don’t know what Barra will do next. But Sandi and Balla should retire, they’ll take the opportunity to throw out Bennell, Kersten is on shaky ground, as will be McArthy if he doesn’t improve.
We have too many rucks:
Born in 1995: Apeness and Jones
Born in 1998: Darcy, Meek, Strnadica
1995: I think that one of Apeness or Jones will be delisted and either paid out or delisted with the promise to be redrafted to the Rookie list.
1998: Strnadica out of contract - likely to be delisted. I think that Meek a chance of being delisted with the promise to be redrafted to the Rookie list.
The net result is two main list spots freed up.
I’m unsure of the status of Apeness’ hamstring injury. If he is recovered and ready for a full pre-season I would
Keep him and pay out Jones. We could tell Jones we will monitor his year in the WAFL with a view to redraft potentially in 2019.
With Strnadica uncontracted sadly he will be delisted unless they feel he has more promise than Meek. Meek to be delisted and drafted to the rookie list.
That and we run with 40 on the main list will allow for us to have 4 ND picks.
Just my view.

Stranadica & Giro are rookies and doesn’t count towards spots
Carl Langdon asked Belly about Bennell and Kerstenso goo chance they are gone. Apeness is the other that will likely get the chop.
They will have to pay out the difference of their contracts to that of a rookie contract if they rookie them
I know they are rookies. If we run with 40 & 4 (one less rookie), I was suggesting the potential of Meek effectively replacing Strnadica on the rookie list. Off the main list for eg Jones and Meek.
Colin Young was interviewed on the final morning of trade week and indicated that his client Bennell was assured of a list spot but had been made acutely aware that this is his very last chance. Also managed to have a bit of dig at our Conditioning team that he wasn’t well managed. Was a fair call I thought.
Peter Bell was asked on Wed evening by Karl Langdon whether Kersten had a year remaining which Bell confirmed and seemed to indicate that he would be on the list for 2019. Plus he is handy KPD depth. He was probably told to get cracking with his fitness etc. Not sure what Kersten’s deal was in the preseason but he seemed to be forever running laps.
I personally believe that those re-signed late into the season (ie Apeness, Ballantyne, Bennell) will be on the list next year.
Nhyhuis whilst re-contracted could be another delisted and redrafted to the rookie list. He may have been promised another spot on the list whether that means the main list or rookie list only time will tell.
Potentially if Jones is delisted and Sandi retires mid season Jones could be redrafted for the new mid-season draft.
Have Fremantle ever renewed a contract and then attempted to back out of it? Including players who have been promised, at worst, a place on the rookie list?
Unless there was breach of contract (e.g., probably Yarran) I'm not sure they would, even if they could, as it would seriously damage the club's brand in the eyes of the player community.

Nyhuis signed a contract for the main list a week and a bit ago. I thought he showed plenty towards the end of last year. No chance he will be delisted and rookied. If we can draft Medhat as a Cat B rookie then I think we should de-list and rookie Jones and Meeks and then pay out Apeness unfortunately I cant see him making it.
Interested to know what Bell said to Karl said on apeness? Our rookies are Giro and Duman as far as I can tell, with Stramidica not offered a contract yet. If we rookied Jones and Meeks after de-listing then we have to honour the contract they got when drafted but the difference isnt huge by any stretch. Other teams can still pick them as rookies and we pay the difference on our cap. Not the end of the world and a price worth having five draft picks for. The money could be saved by adding a coaching component to Sandy's salary (and reducing his playing salary) which is what the Eagles did in Dean Cox's last year.
Sheridan confirmed he has been delisted.

must be very difficult for players being delisted.

Good servant of the club...however no where near best 22 anymore.
Might be a target for the Eagles ressie team?

Looking forward to the end of 2019. We still have another 13 players who need to show to something during the year. I really hope we do not rush the resigning of them like we did this year.

Duman is a keeper, otherwise agree.
