[Wojcinski]

Retired: Selwood, Higgins
Delisted: Evans, Stevens, Tsapalotis, Narkle, Williams

Remaining:

• Dahlhaus - likely retire
• Hawkins - Will sign for one more
• Rohan - unsure, possibly retiring
• Z. Guthrie - re-sign
• Tuohy - has stated wants to play on
• Simpson - Surprised he wasn't delisted due to ongoing concussion issues

 

[Boxhead_31]

From the story I read, it seems we delisted him to make him attractive to other suitors as a DFA, rather than as a trade...

Couldn't get any interest last year as a trade so it was only right to delist him and make getting onto a list easier for him if he is able to

Dahlhaus confirmed retirement this morning so we are up to 6 senior list spots now (4 once atkins and close get elevated).

I thought rohan already had a contract for 2023.
Tuohy hawkins and smith all sound like they will go on.
Simpson is 50/50 might be kept or delisted.

 

[MisterMarcus]

With players potentially trading in, we won't have too many list spots available for drafting this year, so it's very likely we'll try to either

a) Package up a bunch of later picks for a single pick this year
b) Exchange this year's picks for equivalent 2023 picks.

Apart from Brisbane, are there any other clubs who'd be crying out for pure points in 2022?

Essendon is probably the only other one that might need points but the daveys wont probably get bid early enough for that to be an issue.
We would love option a) ie package up all our later picks for a top 25 pick for the henry/bruhn trade but i doubt its likely.
Option b) swapping them for 2023 r2s/r3s is more likely.

Can we rookie Simpson? Can play, can't get on the park.

Need to draft some talls this year.

Yes we might delist re-rookie simpson depends how many list spots we have after trade. We might only have only 2 nd picks this year but i agree we need to get talls at both ends.

Do we need to take three live picks to the draft though? I am not up with the rules.

 

[The 747]

As a general comment we are in a decent spot list wise, considering all the pending retirements. Quite a few young players drafted in the past few years.

AFL team is strong and Bruhn/Henry fill the hole mid/forward created by the three retirements.

Glaring issue is the lack of KPP depth.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

No rookie elevations count among the three picks so as we are elevating close and atkins we only have to take one ND pick.

Hmm interesting. So the rest we can package up and try to improve 2023 or sweeten existing plays. Nice position to be in thanks to Close and Atkins.

Yep i agree i rate our crop of young mids (particularly with bruhn added) and our defence is very good but given none of stanley ceglar hawk or sav will probably be there in 2024 and blitz will be 33 we need to add some spine talls over the next 2 years. Obviously sdk is a star and i rate both conway and neale but we need more kpp still.

Correct which is what we will do take 1 or 2 nd picks plus clohesy in ND or as a cat b if he gets through. Trade our later picks in player trades and for futures as we will have more retirements next year and therefore more list spots.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Didn't they change the minimum to 1 regardless?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Not sure but it doesnt matter in our case thanks to rookie elevations.

 

[ChookNorris]

clubs still have flexibility on rookie / primary lists I believe but if they get all targets it would look something like this:

6 spots currently:
Pick 7
Bowes
Henry
Bruhn
Atkins
Close

3 rookie picks (or could take extra senior picks)

Everything else resigned.

Sam Simpson re-signed yet?

Thats about right which is why we will only take 1-2 picks.

Sav might free up another spot via trade.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Sam Simpson re-signed yet?

No.

 

[ChookNorris]

Sam Simpson re-signed yet?

No. But could be a good one to flick to rookie for one more live pick.

 

[jezza25]

No. But could be a good one to flick to rookie for one more live pick.

Exactly what will happen

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Exactly what will happen

Probably..i dont think we will let simpson go altogether but i think we will delist and re rookie him..due to the concussion issues i doubt another team would jump in first.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

18 --> 7
Bruhn, Bowes and Henry. All for picks within 2nd and 4th rounds.
Hold on to F1.
