My guesses:
- Nico retired, unfortunate but can't be avoided.
- Hams delisted. Dick gets one more year.
- Embley and Selwood politely told it would be best if they retired on their own terms amidst great fanfare, with an Ash Hansen-esque delisting if they don't.
- Smith traded.
- Brown hopefully stays on. If he walks, then trade in another key back as cover (Hooker probably unavailable now. Angus Litherland from Hawthorn? Delaney from North?)
- Promote McGovern and Sinclair, give Bennell and Tunbridge another year on the rookie list.
Out: Nicoski, Hams, Embley, Selwood, Smith (poss. Brown)
In: McGovern, Sinclair, 3 draftees, 2 rookie draftees, (Brown replacement)
