This was written on the Suns FB page today by a member with inside knowledge (she has never been wrong that I know of) before being quickly deleted by the admins.

Risky, Flannagan, Hutchins, Toy and Caddy gone at the end of the year and Fraser moving into a coaching/mentoring role!

Interesting?

Blights influence? Wasn't the idea in the latter half of the year to oversee who has got what it takes or something like that?
 
if rischa goes i will eat my hat. seriously, he's had a bad year with injuries and him getting traded/delisted is the last option i'd put money on.

IT'S almost summer and Melbourne turned on a sweltering day yesterday, prompting Andrew Walker to don a hat for Carlton's training session at Visy Park.

Not much will change wih 2 games to go, how I see the list panning out post season:

Definite delistees:

Moss
Fraser
Krakouer

Likely delistees/cheap trade bait:

Magin (I like him but cant be moved back to rookie list and limited list space)
Jolly (Could get picked up by Port?)
Flanagan (too light, hasnt developed)
Hine (Plays dirty, wayyy down depth charts)
Hutchins (Can only play lock down defender and lacks size for that role)

50/50 propositions that hold no trade value:

Iles (sound player but not rated/off contract)
Patrick (no place for him in team when fully fit)
AHall (only has 1 year contract, likely retention though)
Stanley (as above)

On the block, guys that are sought after:

Weller (may flourish elsewhere, cant play in the mids at suns)
Nicholls (huge prospect, long term afl player)
Caddy (as above, may stay yet)
Toy (Holds value for the right team)
Gorringe (Only to be used in a Tippett trade)

Horsely, McQualtar, JHall all to be retained as rookies, Coad to leave.

Your thoughts? Anyone on the outer I have missed? Who will survive the cull of the above players?

In my honest opinion I would much rather keep someone such as Iles over McQualter. After last week I have seriously gone off the bloke.

However I would still like him gone. Apologies for my extra post, forgot to say that.

Why? He's doing no harm on the rookie list and offers leadership and a mature body in our NEAFL team, not to mention an experienced body at training. Very very cheap also...Not bad value for the club when you consider he is a 26yo elite kick who has played in 2 AFL Grand Finals.
 
Did he play in those Grand Fibals? Wow. Thought he was a fringe player at the Saints?

Seems like a good bloke, but whatever perceived benefits of having him on our rookie list I believe are far outweighed by the benefits of having someone with potential. Not saying its his age, I just think that you've gotta have as many players with the potential to add to your team as possible. He's not going to help us on field. If we want him just to play in our twos, can't we just pay him as a twos player, not on our AFL list? I'd much prefer we had a kid with potential instead of him on our rookie list, or a project guy. Someone with upside who has the potential to contribute.

Had a fairly good year in 09 if I recall correct. Still completely agree with what you just said.
 
McQualter is doing an awesome job in the 2s for our younger players. He's doing exactly what he was brought on to do very, very well. He's Captain of our 2s side this year, actually. Doing very well and showing good leadership from what I've seen of him.
 
to what i was told he was never intended to be called up to the senior squad when he was recruited, was only meant to be the consistant mature player for the NEAFL
