I would love to hear we are doing this with our players. At the moment we just play them until they get injured.
Sounds like his job is already done.Adelaide have six players out with hamstring injuries this week. An employment opportunity for Weber?

He’s only 23. Good rookie list spot if we can get him on there.Switta is he out of contract at the end of this year?
Switta contract is till 2021 I think and when played was better than Shultz imo but the latter has played most games this year. He strikes me as a great operator off the field also.
Footy decisions are brutal, with COVId list reductions, think the days of “he should be given another year due to injuries” are gone.
Walters, Shultz, Crowden in the team and performing, high end 18yo talents coming through Henry, Western, seems like Switta might be in trouble.
Another way to look at it would be which one of the above list would you cut instead of giving injured player another year?
Spot on. The fact that he injured his hamstring after a long lower back lay-off is not a surprise at all. It is a 21 day injury just no time left in the season. I think he has one year contract remaining. I don’t mind whether he stays on primary list or is moved to the rookie list (no different anyway). I would move either of Giro or Meek to rookie list first as they both played zero games 2019 and 2020, whereas Switta has missed only 2020.He’s worth another year, back injuries and hamstring injuries are often intertwined
Particularly recurring hamstring injuries. Generally a sign of a back complaint which he indeed did have during pre season. Not a good prognosis for him unfortunatelyiirc he missed the first few weeks of last year with a hamstring issue as well, I really rate him as a player but his injury record is a concern
I still think ALL contracts will need to be honoured whether that’s by players staying on the list or payouts. It’s why someone like Mundy who clearly deserves another year might not get one.
Realistically if lists are cut to say 40 total it’s tough. There’s still 3-4 guys on the list I think have close to no chance at being at the club next year. They’re just in the hub because they’re depth - O’Reilly and Butters weren’t even that.
Probably Matera, Banfield and North.So who out of Crowden, Shultz, Waters and Henry should be cut then?
With Henry and Western to be developed, 6 small Forwards is way too many in the list imo
