not delisted will get rookie contract we will have plenty of rookie spots its the main spots that are thr issueAnd that is why we will delist him. The AFC doesn't do that thing called common sense.
We won't have many rookie spots at all. Parnell & Murray will stay on the rookie list, and Seedsman should be moved to the rookie list (before being placed on the inactive list). Davis should be delisted, with Butts & Strachan upgraded to the senior list. That leaves just 2x rookie list vacancies, and only 1 if Turner is retained. If we go with a 38/4 list structure, as some are proposing, then it's 1x vacancy and 0 if Turner is retained. Any way you look at it, that's not "plenty".not delisted will get rookie contract we will have plenty of rookie spots its the main spots that are thr issue
stop knit picking its enough. as you know its the main list spots that are the real problemWe won't have many rookie spots at all.

Both are real problems this year.stop knit picking its enough. as you know its the main list spots that are the real problem

Lol, when we selected him people said it was the wrong decision, if we delist him it's the wrong decision, if we re-rookie him in the draft it's probably the wrong decision ...And that is why we will delist him. The AFC doesn't do that thing called common sense.
And you’d say each one was the right decision if that’s what the club did ……..Lol, when we selected him people said it was the wrong decision, if we delist him it's the wrong decision, if we re-rookie him in the draft it's probably the wrong decision ...
From watching Geelong, Sydney and Collingwood, pressure and endurance are two of the most important traits for players to gave. As soon as there is a turnover its manic pressure and run the other way as fast as possible. Ned can make use of these traits well enough, He's relatively poor at everything else, hence why so many here have little time for him.
No current season stats available
Continuing to pick him despite the injuries in previous seasons wouldn't have helped him. Was never the same after that achilles injury.
I dunno. A lot of clubs have.
No it doesn't with Rankine coming in we just play Lachie Murphy in Brown's role....it's what got him on our list in the 1st place.
What's more I'd be of the opinion Lachie will never be questioned again as being in our best 22 even by his detractors.
Please. Ned comfortably sits in that group. The only thing keeping Ned safe is the first rounder we invested in him. So far he is still not at Petrenko or Wright levels - and both were sent packing after 5 years on the list

There's absolutely no reason to not go to 38/4.
Clubs take extra rookies because you get a $80k salary cap discount per rookie.
BUT you can only use that if you're using your entire salary cap, and we're miles off that.
So there's no advantage in having extra rookies for the Crows.
Thought we would've had some list announcements this week.
Since no one wants Turner wouldn't we be better off delisting him and drafting him again in the rookie draft if no one better is available?
Keeps our options open and is more flexible
I would definitely keep him personally as a rookieSince no one wants Turner wouldn't we be better off delisting him and drafting him again in the rookie draft if no one better is available?

The club regrets to announce the following delistings that we will now read in alphabetical order.
Davis, Ben.
That is all.
Good player but a bit undersized for a pure ruck at AFL level.wonder if there is interest in harry boyd from norwood. not necessarily from us but has barely played a bad game all season
well i believe he was originally recruited as a key position player. would say something there to work with for a rookie spot somewhere. averaged nearly 20 touches as a ruckman and has a nice leap too.Good player but a bit undersized for a pure ruck at AFL level.

And after all that, would you continue to play him in the same position?
On to your last point that’s just nonsense and you know it.
But ok let’s look at his strengths “tackles, chases, hits the contest hard”. You could get someone from the SANFL to do that, not a first rounder. By the way he averaged only 3 tackles a game.
His disposal has improved? That’s debatable, he still can’t kick more than 40 metres. Goal kicking? He kicked 13 goals for the year with some embarrassing attempts.
He’s just an poor to average footballer.
We delisted Riley Knight who was better, let that sink in.
Here’s a question for you, would other AFL clubs want him and what would be his trade value?
Which clubs would want him?As a quick response to the above ...
Look, I am not arguing that he was a well spent pick when drafted ... I am saying he has some upside - could become an AFL level player - and I would not throw him out with the bathwater.
- I think Ned has upside, that is what I said ... I still believe that. He is like Sholl in that way - not well-rounded, but has potential in certain attributes that count. Will he step up? I dunno, just think he has improvement in him that the others I mentioned do not.
- I'm not weighing in his first rounder at all. I think he deserves a spot on our list, maybe that sits outside of the best 22 next year ... maybe he sits just inside that.
- I would not play him as a permanent small forward, no. He needs to be a small utility player that can switch into the middle, on the wing and some time up forward,
- I believe other clubs would want him, but trade value is not a good guide to worth. Ben Brown? Peter Wright? Nakia Cockatoo?
Well you made the claim some clubs would, so you are crystal balling anyway so you might as well provide some more insight as to actually who would, that’s obviously going to require you to think and admit besides maybe a couple of scrubber sides, there isn’t anyone wanting a sanfl quality footballer who is short, slow, can’t kick more than 40 and has no poise.Jeez - let me check ...
