Will this be the number? Clubs brace for minor list size cut
Negotiations are ongoing but the AFL and AFLPA are nearing a resolution on list sizeswww.afl.com.au
So it looks like a 42 man list next session. This could be 38 on the main list with 4 cat A rookies through to 40 on main list and 2 cat A rookies (advantage being that rookies can play senior football but not count towards the salary cap). And a further 2 Cat B rookies rookies outside the list (Patmore and Freddricks currently Port's Cat B rookies).
Given that Atley, Grundy, Cox and Buzza have already been delisted, with Westhoff and Watts retiring that puts Port's list at 37 players (excluding B rookies) prior to the draft. Given that Jones and Taj are locks and I can see at least 1-2 more players coming from the draft (likely a project KPD), I can't any trades happening for players this year.
Any trades for a player will mean that another player would have to drop off the list (delisted or traded), but I'm not sure who Port will let go in order to bring in an A-grade player. Sutcliffe or Mayes are likely candidates to retire/be delisted but both have proven to be good depth players this season. Bonner and Lienert may become trade currency but I think think Port should keep both. Unless a left field trade requested (ie Wines), I can't see Port being a big player in this years trade period.

Unless I missed his delisting and re-drafting on the rookie list (and I don’t think I did) Patmore is on the main list.
He’s also been sent home already and I was given the impression he will be delisted. Doesn’t have a contract for 2021.
I’ll be surprised if Frederick gets another year too.
Why would mayes be going anywhere? Was a solid option this year and is nowhere near retirement age.

Parfitt isn’t remotely close to Merritt. The question marks over Merritt aren’t his ability anyway.
Also you’re arguing that parfitt is an improvement on guys that barely played this season lol. We should be well above trying to improve the 25-30 portion of our list.
As I said, parfitt may break out next year, but I don’t want to be the team that overpays geelong to find out.
*ralphwiggum.gif*four-year deal worth $2.6 million (average $500,000 a season)
He's a mid and a midget too.Darcy McPherson to give us another small forward?
What does he offer that we need? Not a lot.Darcy McPherson to give us another small forward?
Crouch fits Port Adelaide’s needs – and vice versa
Before the drug bust it was already tougher for Crouch to remain a Crow while Port Adelaide had a four-year deal worth $2.6 million (average $500,000 a season) to put on the bidding table. This will fall to $2 million now.
Port Adelaide’s list-management strategy is heavily aligned to working the free agency market that – without having to haggle with draft picks – has brought West Coast premiership ruckman Scott Lycett, former Brisbane captain Tom Rockliff, Geelong midfielder-forward Steven Motlop and Richmond wingman Matt White to Alberton since free agency began in 2012.
Tarnished Crows star could break new ground - InDaily
No Crows-centric player has ever crossed West Lakes Boulevard to join the Port Adelaide Football Club. Michelangelo Rucci expects an Adelaide club champion will find it easier to defect, despite concerns about drugs and a brush with the law.indaily.com.au
We have so much to be thankful to Graham Cornes for, for establishing the shitcampaigner culture at the corporation.“(Coach) Graham Cornes spoke to me just twice – when I arrived, asking about my Teal Cup experiences (as a junior), and when he called me to delist me.”
I rate McPherson but if we are going for a small forward it‘s to replace Butters and Rozee’s pace and creativity as they move into the midfield. McPherson isn’t quick enough.Darcy McPherson to give us another small forward?
Would like us to chase Sexton, way underrated. Doubt GC would let him go for anything less than a stupid offer.Darcy McPherson to give us another small forward?
Well I learnt something from that article - Darryl Wakelin was once a Crow!
So far, the only Crows-listed players to make it to Port Adelaide’s AFL squad are four Port Adelaide originals – Magarey Medallist Scott Hodges, ruckman Brett Chalmers, rover David Brown and full back Darryl Wakelin, via St Kilda.
After in the inaugural Adelaide squad was formed in 1990, Wakelin was the first Port Adelaide player drafted from Alberton to the Crows when he was called at pick No.11 in the 1993 AFL pre-season draft.
“I had interest from Carlton and St Kilda where (twin brother Shane) was and I told the Crows to respect my wishes by letting me go to Melbourne,” Wakelin told InDaily. “I wanted to go to St Kilda to be with my brother.”
Wakelin was granted this wish after Adelaide delisted him at the end of the 1994 season in which he won the Jack Oatey Medal as best-afield in Port Adelaide’s SANFL grand final triumph before moving to St Kilda in 1995.
“It was always uncomfortable at the Crows,” Wakelin recalled. “No-one spoke to you (if you were from Port Adelaide that was bidding to be Adelaide’s in-town AFL rival).
“(Coach) Graham Cornes spoke to me just twice – when I arrived, asking about my Teal Cup experiences (as a junior), and when he called me to delist me.”
And BartlettMeanwhile Cornes tried to create legends out of guys like Mark Viska.
Would like us to chase Sexton, way underrated. Doubt GC would let him go for anything less than a stupid offer.
So, I dont know how solid this is but it came from the mouth of a family member who was sitting with this bloke all night watching the Port v Geelong game.
Isaac Rankin was at the Alberton hotel on Thursday night watching the game with what i assume was family. After the game when i noticed he had left i asked the bar staff if they knew that was Isaac Rankin at that table. They said yes and one of the people he was with overheard me and said it was him. I said i hoped to see him around these parts more often and the person said he will be at the end of next year. I said i thought he was a crows supporter and he said yeah but he doesn't want to play for them. I said i hope you're right cos I'd love to see him play with Butters and Rozee.
And then i got my beer and went for a smoke
