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

Don’t get why everyone is so down on Oscar Mc, he was very good in 2018 when dees had there best year and he’s been pushed out by May who is one of the best defenders in the comp. McDonald would be a huge upgrade on any of the KPD we have lost this off season and he’s only 24. I’d take him every day of the week this year, particularly as we need to play finals and seasoned bodies will be important in this push.
 
You got an eye on a Setanta 2.0?
Would be nice to grab someone from the US college system ala Mason Cox. A running back or wide receiver who gets passed over might be amenable to making a move. Or a forward or centre from a basketball side...

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.

If we were planning on delisting Macreadie and leaving the cupboard bare I would have been making a big play at B McKay in the trade period as I suggested earlier this year and striking before his form gets any better, also not sure why we didn’t show any interest in Corr as a free agent as well considering where we are now positioned if Weiters or Jones get injured.

If there's a decent DFA on the market, I'm not against us offering them a contract, however, we should limit the DFA's to one. We're starting to build a bit of depth now. We're not as desperate for these players as we once were.

Then take two in the draft and leave one list spot open. Invite a handful of undrafted prospects we had our eye on to train with us over the summer, then select the one we want.

I feel this is the route we’ll be going down.
 
Think Macreadie suffers from the early crow calls that plenty of KPDs get in underage years. James Sellers, Brander, Sam Day, Macreadie and plenty of others were all talked up as early picks at some point...some still went early.

Harrison seems a hell of a nice young guy, but has average skill, average in the air, and a passive disposition. We will have no trouble upgrading him.
 
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.
It is slim pickings... probably why they've found themselves delisted.

If I was going off that list I would take Durdin/Daw and Grundy
 
No issue with today’s delisting and saving some sheckles for Kennedy.
Question, despite committing to aRookie spot, can another team offer him a contract before our selection?

Wouldn’t call him passive, but he was behind the 8-ball after being injured essentially his entire career and being unable to develop any rhythm with his footy at all.

Without the list cuts he would have got another year, but we probably couldn’t see the benefit of keeping a second injury prone third tall on the list.

Still think he’s AFL standard if he builds himself up through the state leagues. His anticipation and judgement in the air were always good, and I liked his kicking skills, it just didn’t work out for him at Carlton.

could be wrong, but I can’t see us getting Harry’s bro as much as I’d love him. Twins live in each other’s shadows their entire junior years of life and it looks to me (as an outsider) that Harry was the more confident and outgoing of the pair (was also more highly rated as a footballer) and at North Ben finally gets to be his own man without Harry and I can’t see him wanting to be ‘Harry’s brother’ vs his own man at North. *disclaimer I’m married to a twin and am also the father of twins.

What is the name of the left footed defender we had on the list about 10 years ago who went to Geelong and spent time at Saints? Might even have played in a flag at one of these sides?

Bang on here. Both boys were crystal when drafted that they'd prefer to play for different clubs. Not all brothers want to play with their bro, esp twins. Don't want us to get him just because he's Harry's little brother.

Similar to Walsh Jnr I guess. Keen on his type if he's the best pick and type at our selection. Otherwise, no harm no foul.

He would be able to sign for any other club as a DFA prior to the draft. He will enter the draft, where any club who wants him can pick him. There is an unwritten rule that clubs won't pick a player in the rookie draft who is going to be rookied by his club.

Could only have played in a flag at Geelong as Saints can’t win them... but I can’t find any players in the cats 07, 09, 11 premiership teams that played for us.
Can’t think of any either...
