Just curious if anybody knows McGuane and Paine's contract status? Surely they would have only gotten two years at max taking them to 2015. Currently there only three players IMO who at the moment would suffice delistment at 2015 in Harwood, Golby and Staker and that's being quite harsh. It's looking at those details which could effect how many we delist this year.
 
It will be interesting to see if we use those three famous jumper numbers next season, depending how many others are delisted, retire or get traded. I imagine no. 3 could go straight back into the rotation since Moloney just had it. Number 20 has had a year off to honour the great man so it may be time to swing it back into service, perhaps with Blacky choosing the appropriate younger player to wear it. Perhaps no. 16 should have a year's rest before returning. However no. 16 on the back of the original jersey next year would be a good thing to see!
 
I'm all up for number 16 being allocated by a series of contests.

1) the sliding chest mark - distance is the main factor but the ability to grab a chunk of turf with your teeth will see you score bonus points
2) The point - best point will get the chocolates. Extension, line and general swagger all high on the list
3) The Hyundai test - fairly self explanatory and a good chance to tie in a sponsor
4) Meat pie competition - who can eat a meat pie that's been heated in a volcano

Finally the winner must commit to playing with socks up for the rest of his career.

By my count the following are the only remaining uncontracted players that I'd consider required players:

1. Jack Crisp;
2. Stefan Martin (apparently will be re-signed this week);
3. Matt Maguire; and
4. Zac O'Brien (potentially will be upgraded or retained on the rookie list).

The remaining out of contract players it seems are surplus to requirements:

1. Jordan Lisle;
2. Andrew Raines;
3. James Polkinghorne;
4. Patrick Wearden (wouldn't be surprised if he is retained on the rookie list); and
5. Sam Michael.

Outside of those nine, everyone else is signed and sealed, although could there be a shock announcement i.e. Staker and/or McGuane retirement / paid out etc.

I'm going to give this thread a bump just because there's been a few questions about our list state numbers wise.

And it's stickied now too for added visibility.
 
If the mooted trades are correct we'll be using picks 81, 99, 117 and 135 as our four live picks in the draft. We can reduce that by rookie upgrades, DFAs and/or dropping ourselves to only a 38 man senior list (minus one).

Aawwww, I can't wait that long!
 
JasRulz63, Cian Hanley is now a category B rookie isn't he? Or isn't it actually official?

Edit: Never mind. I see it will happen on Dec 12th.

Small update to the OP ;)

Basically our list situation is now:
- Accounting for the three picks we've set aside for Academy and FS selections we have 36 players on our senior list.
- Senior list size is 38-40 with 4-6 category A rookies (38+6, 39+5 or 40+4).
- Therefore we need to bring in a minimum of 2, and a maximum of 4 players onto our senior list. This can be achieved by trades, delisted free agents, rookie elevations or via the draft.
- Rookie draft wise, we only currently have 1 category A rookie, with Hanley coming in to fill the last category B slot. So we currently will have a minimum of 3 category A rookie selections free, up to possibly 6 if O'Brien gets elevated (up to 5 if he doesn't). We could also have a category B rookie selection free if Bourke is elevated.
- The draft selections we currently have are 67, 81, 99, 117. Obviously teams don't usually all draft to round 7, so these picks won't be so late.
