38 Senior Players
6 Rookies
2 Cat B Rookies (ignore for now)
Lonergan retires.
Bates and Delaney (or Read) delisted from Rookie List
List count now stands at 37 Senior + 4 Rookies (41 Total)
3 selections must be made during the draft (2 "live" + a rookie elevation is allowed).
Geelong makes 2 live selections during the draft and elevates Ruggles (senior list now stands at 40 while the rookie list now stands at 3).
The 3 Rookies retained are Read (or Delaney), Cornell & Parsons making the total list 43.
Geelong makes 1 Rookie Selection to bring to final list total to 44 (40 senior/4 rookies).
Cap space along with uncertainy around a handful of players means this is unlikely to happen.
Not bad effort.
I think we will take 3 picks (our 2nd and 3rd and brisbanes 3rd) plus elevate ruggles and i think we will only have 38 or 39 on the list-saves cap and allows us to have 2 extra guys on 1 year deals,means we can rookie some of our vfl guys and have the flexibility to cut them in a stronger draft next year if they dont work out.
Lonergan retired cowan delisted. Still think enright will retire but hope he doesnt.
One of our fringes will seek a trade for more gametime-maybe vardy maybe ghs.
Leaves us at 34/35 on the list. Take 3 picks + ruggles equals 38/39.
Ruggles goes up,bates delisted and either delaney or read kept (possibly). Rookie 2 or 3 of stewart/house/tsitas/sexton/hickey.
We could also bring in a 2nd cat b rookie as we only have 1 since we elevated luxford.
I am also not sure whether lucey can stay as a cat b rookie for a 3rd year or whether he has to go on the normal rookie list.
