I wonder if this is going to impact the kid?

Will Category B rookies survive in the new list climate?

No decision's been made on whether Category B rookies will remain once likely list size reductions eventuate

I hop he's immediately offered a spot on the VFL roster if he is affected.

That's of course if there will be a VFL comp.

Back into full training after a bit of a sore back. He’ll need to make every post a winner with the potential list changes next year

I agree with what you said. It’s why they shouldn’t jump the gun with changing list numbers too quickly. Guy’s like Matt really won’t get a chance, especially in a shortened season.

A kid with that build is always going to take a while to get their body right.

100%. I think it should be gradual say cut two list spots next year, then another 2 the following year.

If they cut 7-8 lists spots like they are saying could happen next year it leaves those raw developmental types not in a very good position

I have a feeling Cat B rookies will be exempt and allowed on top of whatever lists are reduced to if clubs have salary cap space to pay for them

I doubt it.

If they are cutting the off field cap by $3m per club, that will have a huge effect on resources and development resouces.

Simply won't have the coaches and staff to go around efficiently.

Stating the bleading obvious but from how the AFL are talking we are going to be saying bye bye to a LOT of this years list at seasons end.

Looking every bit of 55kgs.

Nick Haynes was built exactly the same way, but he turned out pretty decent!

Matty McGuinness looks like he has hit the gym hard. Now no longer has to move around in the shower to get wet. Well not as much anyway.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

I'm really Bullish about McGuinness. He is a very natural footballer, just needs some size.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Only 6 or so players available for us to play the scratch match. Yikes!

Yes I'm surprised so many have him on the chopping block already as part of the rebuild... give the man a chance

seems these numbers relate to if players dont pull up from injury as there are a lot with test next to the name.

 

[Bigeasy]

I wouldn't be surprised he gets another year. Has shown big improvement in his body shape and size comoared to early this year. Obviously has the drive and has a good left foot on him.

It's ridiculous.

We have a cat B rookie teenage kid who is starting to show something and we're doing a rebuild. I know ... lets delist him. That seems like a good idea.

 

[Heaps of fun]

He's exactly the sort of player you would delist if we're thinking that project players won't really be on AFL lists going forward but from a position of actually getting value from the moves you make managing a list what would be the point of delisting a guy with untapped potential over someone like Tyson, Williams or Macmillan who we already know the (limited) ceilings of.

100% keep

a CAT B rookie, he’s outside of our list and is a free hit that looks promising
