Realistically the club won't shed 9 players at seasons end.

Probably an outlier with two retirements forced through injury, I imagine

Realistically the club won't shed 9 players at seasons end.

Especially the blokes that he put up. Absolutely ridiculous.

 

[BEEG]

Daicos and Butters for the next 8-10 years would be incredible.

8 is a pretty standard number - it used to be more, but we're giving a little bit more development time and churning the bottom of the list a bit slower these days.

I think I thought it was less because I had completely forgotten about some of our recent plodders (Chugg, Poulter, etc.)

Our delistings have gone done a fair bit with more kids getting 4 years, but we've lost/traded out a couple with value every year recently.

What's the knock on Smit? We drafted him for a reason. To be honest, I don't watch the VFL, so I haven't seen him play.

I dont think there is any knock on him. He is a decent prospect as a tap ruckman, plays with aggression and is good at ruck contests. Last year he looked very promising as he was the only ruck for most of the game, so his hitout stats were pretty impressive. Not so great around the ground at this early stage of his development. Problem for Smit, is that this year he is spending far less time in the ruck cause

1. He now has to share ruck duties with Steene

2. We currently have 3 rucks playing in the VFL and the poor kid is playing out of position at FB. With Coxy likely to return to the AFL, he should get a much better run at it over the next month.

Id also add that punters expect far too much from immature ruckmen. He has played the grand total of 13 VFL games, best not to expect Polly Farmer just yet..

 

[zhoung]

They were never giving him up.

Sounds like this guy, who’s running for PM.
We had no chance

 

[Magland]

Now that Draper is classed as a UFA and with Cox's retirement looming would you be tempted to make him an offer? Would make a pretty dominant combo with Cameron.

Or would the investment be too great for a forward/ruck?

Bit nervous after his achilles

 

[doppleganger]

Making 8 or so list changes is pretty normal.

Of our 2021 list of 41 we only have 17 remaining on our 2025 list.

A couple will retire, may trade a couple in / out, free agency options and we will delist a few.

Bryan is an RFA and ex Charger boy, I swear to god the minute I looked at those 2 as possible pick ups they were both gone for 12 months.

No

 

[sr36]

Defence is a great way to learn to read the play. He'll be fine

I think he'll get delisted. He runs around like a convert from another sport playing his first game of Aussie Rules.

It looks like he'll get a better deal elsewhere. At the right price it's a no brainer but the cost will be too much

He was showing a bit last year but appears to have gone backwards.

 

[Magland]

Moyle is sitting in the magoos, looks like they parked him at Full Forward on the weekend.

Only had 5 hit outs but got 19 disposals and kicked 2 goals for 100 SC points.

Knobel must have been the main ruck with 30 hitouts


Fiorini got 34 disposals, 8 tackles for 170 SC points.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Pittonet a chance? I feel like he could be a good stop gap next year if Cox retires and if Steene & Smit aren’t up to it.

Sounds French.
No thanks.

Daicos and Butters for the next 8-10 years would be incredible.

I could definitely see us making a move/wanting to make a move like this. We need to maximise having Daicos as much as possible.
