Excellent changes. Was really hoping we'd be able to open up some spots to draft either some targeted mature-agers or kids with big upside, so this gives us the wriggle room to do so. Expect a DFA to be in the mix too.

To those lamenting the delisting of Macreadie as spelling the end of our KPD depth, how was he actually providing any depth when he was constantly injured? I also would have had zero confidence in him playing on a power forward if called upon either. He was not depth. thylacine60
 
changes were necessary allows flexibility, will be interesting to see whom we pick up as DFA.

Hopefully not Oscar

Am genuinely gobsmacked by Macreadie.

We definitely could have gotten Fogarty cheaper with Geelong asking for him.

Why turn it down only to delist him and then in the same release identify Kennedy as the only re-rookie?

Hoping for an answer other than dumb list management.
Definitely? If it was definite we may have actually done it yeah?

Harrison seems like a heck of a nice young guy, but I don't know where the mystical rating of him comes from. Anyone of a dozen DFAs could fill the break glass in case of emergency KPD role just as adequately.
 
He is an AFL quality mid. Not good mind you but can hold his own easily. Also can play forward and take a mark. I don’t necessarily think he’s best 22 but are we really so enamoured with our list that we don’t need a player of his quality as depth? He’s by far the best mid in the reserves.

And we're keeping him on the rookie list. Not sure what the problem is?
 
Yeah.....I'm not sure that's what I alluded to though.

Polson was easy to move on for me...an that's nothing against the individual at all.
Phillips had tricks but would have taken time. Time we may not have had, given the list squeeze.
Moore: Interesting one, because I still feel he may have made for a good back-man.
Macreadie? If his body wasn't up to it...sad but fair enough. I was biased and didn't want to see him go though.
Kennedy - Rookie list is fine. Better than nothing for him.

We still have to replace those agents with better ones though, as otherwise - What's the point?
That is the point. And naturally we can assume that is what clubs do or try to do.
I always was impressed with how Ferguson handled Man United. Always turning the squad over. It was ruthless but garnered a long period of success.
 
Because Ive already decided we're poaching Ben McKay next year.

Yes we are.
 
Can we please stop with suggestions of playing Gov, Marchbank and the likes as KPD covers

It's purely hope and desperation

Agreed. Using Gov as a defender is what youd maybe do if one of them went down in a match. Maybe.

Marchbank, i like him but I see him more as a tall flanker, 3rd tall. Im not sure if hes one who can be a true part of an AFL spine.

The player I'd be asking the question of is Conor McKenna.

Did he really leave the Dons because he was homesick or was it because of a sh!t culture?
I reckon there could be something in this. McKenna is every chance to turn up on another AFL list, and he would be a great get as a freebie.

Now theres an interesting thought. With him Newman would be bordering on bench/in the 2s.

Any lasting or ongoing effects from COVID would need to be thoroughly looked at.
 
Well I hate danger about as equally, so happy to take that issue up with him as well. But again, the point stems back to their needing to be a cut at all, which there does not.

If the AFL didn't have the funds to cover this brief downturn in revenue, it was negligent. Maybe if it stopped pumping so much money into useless endeavours like China games and other such bullshit then they could cover the core facet of the AFL - regular season male footy.
They are the only Australian organisation to own clear their own stadium that they used as an asset to borrow down on. I'd suggest that was a relatively wise investment.

They China thing is mostly club based.

Male footy is a fairly patriarchal way to describe the AFL's core business.

Nice rant though.

Just went through the delisted players list and man it is slim pickings for KP defenders even as depth.

Oscar McDonald
Matt Sharenberg
Riley Grundy
Jack Maibaum
Majak Daw
Sam Durdin
Logan Austin

Not great reading by anyone’s standards. This is getting more concerning by the minute.

Is macreadie any better than any of these? (Include the fact macreadie is always injured)

However, I would go an 18 yr old kid if need be.

Slim pickings indeed. McDonald might be the best of that list.
