Johnsons issue is more in relation to list spots and his size. Realistically I think he's actually an AFL quality player but he's still just 73kg's. Drafted at 65kg's. He's two years away from being ready for AFL.

If we are able to get cameron off the list and or brander then I would pick him as a rookie.

Certainly played better in the WAFL and shown far more AFL capabilities there than O'Niell, Collins.

For God's sake Johnson delisted without even being given a real chance including being out all year in 2020. I f**kin' knew it.
5 list spots available now assuming West is given a contract.

delisted after not getting a kick in the WAFL is reasonable

 

[Happy Mastenator]

I'm not sure i'd use the word "promising" on a 22 year old midfielder who had 4 years on the list for 13 games, and never had more than 15 touches in those games....

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

He averaged 23 kicks a game in the last 3 matches of the year.

 

[KERRPOW]

Ainsworth looks like he has less muscle mass delisted then the day he was drafted

 

[eagles rule]

I`m a little surprised that Collins wasn`t given more of a chance especially being expected to be a solid defender at league level when he had only been playing colts ..

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

So we have a handful of players yet to have their future publicised but it is feeling like that may be the cull.

7 out meaning we can pick up another 5

For those moaning about Johnson being delisted, we will be able to rookie him IF he is better than the prospect available to us in the rookie draft. We have 7 medium defenders and 3 KPD on our list. In addition, we also have L Edwards, Brander, Yeo, Waterman, Petruccelle, Allen and Williams that have successfully played in defence at some stage in their career. My old mate O'Brien has made sure we have a stock of hbf players on our list.



I like the fact the club has stated we will prioritise midfielders. I hope they also mean balanced or inside midfielders so that we can keep the likes of Gaff, Kelly and Sheed more as outside mids where they play their best football. That said, we are not likely to get a ready starter in this draft as an inside midfielder who can crack in best 22.

Collins can only make Swan District's reserve team. He is a long way from being an AFL footballer. Some great attributes but a long way off.

Indeed

 

[The Gtrain]

Must be something with Johnson that is holding him back.

Maybe try viagra?

That chart is a good example of how old and slow we will be next year ..15 players 27 yrs or older with credits in the bank in our starting 18 ..

27 is an odd cutoff - I don’t think many people would say Sheed, Barrass and Rioli are contributing to our old, slow list.

10 guys over 30 is definitely a worry.

[HoneyBadger35]

Surprised we rolled the dice on Collins, who it seemed was a long way off being ready at the time of the midseason draft, only to then not persist.

Maybe he didn’t show much during his time at the club, but I feel like not being ready to contribute at all was in the draft profile at the time, and we took him anyway. Odd one.

That was point really , did the club expect him to grow with the increased training workload and then getting the confidence as a defender kicked out of him in a woeful WAFL team on the weekends ..

 

[bzparkes]

I’d trade Duggan for a 10-15 given his history with knees that won’t go away.

Rotham it sucks but we have witherden and foley. Nelson too. Can’t have them all.

Do you even WCE?

Same here. Don't mind the idea of getting a guy a touch before they're ready ( and in his positional instance) having him trying to replace Sheppard in 2023, but if we're only gonna delist 3 months later ( & after he trained with the club over summer!) - why didn't we pick Jack Avery instead????

 

[pantskyle]

Fold the club.

 

[MIKE85]

Surely Duggan isn’t going anywhere?? One of the actual decent under 30s we’ve got. I mean, he’s already our best player, you don’t trade them away.

 

[squashface]

Fold the club.

No, you

 

[pantskyle]

No, you

He didn’t nominate, did he?

 

[Ridge Renegade]

My bad then mate, I thought he was available.
What are your thoughts on the Collins recruitment & quick delist Migs??
