To be honest I would keep all Snelling, Hewett and Houston. All have shown enough to persist with for at least another year. Would be pretty unfair to draft an 18 year old and delist him after 1 year.
Elevate Snelling, retain Houston, and delist Mitchell. Undecided on Hewett, although he is slowly improving.

Yeah agree with this

Elevate Snelling and Krak, retain Houston and Hewett, delist Mitchell

Then get another 2 18 year old "just missed out on the draft" rookies and Reynolds

Final 2017 rookie list: Houston, Hewett, Reynolds, 18 year old, 18 year old
 
Reynolds looked AFL quality in the first streamed game this year. For those who watch more would he be a serious chance of a rookie spot?
Absolutely. No reason not to give him a chance.

Na you dont elevate after 1 year unless its been a sensational season. He's yet to play AFL so should be retained on the rookie list. Better off keeping him and using pick 50 odd to bring someone in, rather than upgrading and then using pick 50 of the rookie draft.

Our entire rookie list this year has been quite good. Hard to see anyone other than Mitchell delisted. Im still extremely confident that we will only make about 5 list changes total this off season.
 
If we decide to delist Butcher (which looks more and more likely) and Rookie list Reynolds, I could live with that.

Someone mentioned once before that he doesn't have the tank for AFL but surely that's something that can be worked on.
He has a beautiful kick on him.

It was good to go down to the Bay today and win comfortably in front of that cruddy crowd.
Houston is definitely an AFL player in the making. He must have been sneaking into the weights room as he looks very solid for an 18yo.
Hewitt surprised me. A tallish midfielder that can tackle and kick well although he made a few errors kept boring in.
The Hoon was more than serviceable. Just keeps bobbing up everywhere.
Toumpas was outstanding. He now has a confidence about him... kicking really well - making good decisions.
Bonner was good and will one day be very good. His kicking was a bit off today but kept attacking and looked sharp all day.
ARCH had some very good moments. Third man up specialist. Took a couple of strong marks. "Can do better".
Mitchell gave it his all. Spent a fair amount of time fighting which was fun to watch. Love to keep him at the club.
Sharrard talk about enjoying a good stoush.
SUMO - creative, precise, skilful
Reynolds looked assured and composed. Kicking for goal is AFL elite.
Butch - looked lost early and then crashed into the fence and never got himself into the game.
Schutzy did enough but looks pretty well spent.
Stewey was ok being our only tall down back! Provided the laugh of the day when there was a kick in into the forward pocket - there was a scrum and the ball was kicked to the other pocket - somehow there was another footy on the oval and Stewey picked it up and thought for a moment he was in the clear! He probably was wondering why no one was tackling him.
Corcoran played ok against bigger guys. At quarter time I thought Chad was going to biff him one. Chad said something like If you ever F>>> do that again you will never get another F>>> game...blah blah. A bit over the top imo.
Snelling was in and under but wasn't as impressive as other games.

Snelling is currently in our best 22 and must play round 1 next year. Imagine if some of our 'stars' had his accountability, ball hunting, clearance work, tackling skills. He should play next week.

Snelling had 17 tackles I'd say that was a good day!

Too bad we're going to just miss out after knocking off the deadlegs next week. Or, to borrow from the ribald song, the club of four thousand a***holes.


Maybe Westies will remember that they're the reigning premiers and do a job on Centrals next week (and maybe I'll win Lotto).

That's an unwritten rule, and shouldn't mean anything. If someone has the talent, elevate them.

I love the concept of Reynolds but just don't see him making the transition to the AFL.
But yeah rookie listing him hurts no one
