Current OOC according to AFL.com.au:
Joel Amartey, Zac Foot, Robbie Fox, Michael Knoll, Matthew Ling, Jack Maibaum, Hayden McLean, Lewis Melican, Harry Reynolds, Ben Ronke, Brady Rowles, Ryley Stoddart, Jackson Thurlow, Sam Wicks
Out of those, I think Amartey, Knoll, Maibaum, Reynolds, Ronke and Stoddart are all delists. Foot is 50/50, I'd consider another year but I don't think he's improving enough. Fox should be kept. Ling I'd keep if only because we've invested a lot of time into him already and probably deserves another year before writing him off. McLean and Melican should be kept. Rowles I'd keep if only because I don't think one year is enough to prove one way or another that they won't make it unless they look really bad at the next level down. Thurlow I think I'd keep but his age and lack of form before this year might count against him. Wicks should be kept.
Assuming we delist 6 that means 4 list vacancies (if a 42 man list is accurate). Given we need to upgrade Wicks as well that leaves 3 spots which should be filled by our first draft pick + Campbell/Gulden. If we want to bring other people in though we need to delist a couple more, Thurlow, Rowles and Foot perhaps the most in danger?
Then o/c there's Taylor, who I'd lean towards sacking as things stand and Naismith, who I'd think about encouraging to retire + paying out his contract given his injury issues.
