According to the latest rumours Rumour - Bluemour File rumours only - NO DISCUSSION


Retire: Ed C, Plow (confirmed).
Delist: Honey, Philp, S Durdin (uncontracted)
Trade: Dow (uncontracted), Fisher (contracted), Young (contracted), LOB (contracted).


So assuming that’s how it’s going to play out, with Philp re-rookied

How many spots do we have left - main list and rookie list? I’m getting lost with the additional Irish players and rookies that we must move on to the main list for 2024.
I.e. what are we going to the trade & draft period with?
2023 list:
Senior 36, Rookie 6, Cat-B 1 Vacant: 1 x Cat-B

Add 2 x SSP Rookies (Cincotta, O'Keeffe)
Senior 36, Rookie 8, Cat-B 1 Vacant: 1 x Cat-B Oversupply: 2 x Rookies

Remove 2 Retirements (Plowman, Ed C)
Senior 35, Rookie 7, Cat-B 1 Vacant: 1 x Cat-B, 1 x Senior Oversupply: 1 x Rookie

Add 2 x Irish International Rookies (Duffy, Monahan)
Senior 35, Rookie 8, Cat-B 2 Vacant: 1 x Senior Oversupply: 2 x Rookies <=== where we are now.

If... we lose Honey, Philp, Dow, Fisher, as per the rumour.

Senior 31, Rookie 8, Cat-B 2 Vacant: 5 x Senior Oversupply: 2 x Rookies

Would leave us with 3 spots vacant overall, but with a requirement to upgrade two rookies. This might allow us (for example) to recruit Elijah Hollands, take a draft pick at pick 16, and have one spot spare - perhaps a second draft pick, or upgrade another current rookie and pick a new rookie.

If we want more than 3 new players, we'd need to cut/trade deeper.
 
Good idea but Keep him as one of the mids ….

Cripps Cerra Walsh Dow and one of Kennedy/Hewett

Can’t afford to have Cripps Kennedy Jewett playing in the midfield group together. Makes us to slow.
Disagree (well, at least, they certainly can be in our best 22), all three had lengthy injury issues this year...

Was clear at least Crippa and Bam Bam were well off their best (fitness wise, pace wise too) in the finals' games....

2 of those three can readily spend some time forward too. And should.

Unlike many thoughts, it seems Dow and Fish have some suiters.
Most importantly, it’s coaches with runs on the board.
Personally will be sad to see them both elsewhere, so unlike previous years let’s hope we;
1. Aren’t cutting too deep
2. Get value and a decent return
 
The only one that matters, no matter how good you are in the footy field

Still not quite sure what you’re trying to say.

Bailey Smith not good enough?

Or

Bailey Smith is a knob?

If it’s the second one, then I’d worry for our club if we didn’t recruit players because they were a bit knobby.

So many of the really good players are knobs
 
We lost because we were out of petrol tickets (and too many were banged up).

We paid the price for an exceedingly poor performance in mid season.

Just like you disagreed with the comment you responded to, it would be easy to say we lost due to a few other reasons too.

We smashed Brisbane in the first quarter but were inefficient, like many other times this year, we were unable to capitalise on huge amounts of inside 50s.

Add to that, in a half of footy, we were only able to manage 1 goal, petrol tickets being low or not, our inability to hit targets inside forward 50 is what I think cost us.

That’s something a side that is tired, can still do.

Option B…knobby = disrespect

look at you making up stuff again. Or you can show proof of your theory with any statements austin or lloyd have made?
 
We've made three changes to the playing list following the 2023 season. Thank you Obi, Honey and Philpy for your contributions to the Club and all the best in the future

I feel like he would have moments in the VFL as that high HF and would kick a couple and then get injured.

A real shame.
tough when you can't get to the start line.........
 
Philp was an easy decision. Never looked likely.

Honey looked great early and clearly has AFL traits, just couldn't seem to develop past the initial promise stage.

Surprised with LOB, keeping him on would've been a free hit. Had a good year last year and just got overtaken this year by all 3 of Hollands, Acres and Cotters. I'm guessing maybe there is interest elsewhere as a delisted free agent.

Thank you for your service boys. 🙏
 
Occurs to me that we might need to stockpile some future picks for the Campo boys

The lions got Ashcroft who was pick 1 wasn’t he and Fletcher about 15, the same year as getting Dunkley and Gunston, we shouldn’t be worried about paying for academy players

SOS to sign Philp as a DFA
