That 3 player have been delisted so far, and a certain A. Williams is not one of them?? How many players can we possibly delist? maximum of 5-6? Spots are running out fast, lets hope he gets one!

Kind of, but I can't see them retaining him.

We've been through the darkest depths of Mordor, and yet he still couldn't crack a game after his long overdue dropping.

I'm more concerned that MM might go soft, play him for Friday and then the prick plays the game of his life, MM changes his mind and retians him, we win and lose a superstar!!

Maybe I'm just panicking. KIT: Keep It Together!!

lol i can just see it now. Bulldogs up by 30 points with 10 minutes to go. Andrew williams puts in an epic performance, 10 touches and 6 goals in the last 10 minutes, his last being after siren from outside 50. Brisbane and melbourne both end up losing, so bulldogs wouldve made it if they won. We lose the draft picks and bulldogs miss the finals.

Greg Swan was on SEN last night. When asked about Woewodin he said the players are yet to have their session with MM and go through their futures. He was pretty non committal. I would have expected him to be more positive if Woewodin was staying and they surely would have made that decision buy now. It doesn’t bother me that Williams has not yet been delisted because he probably hasn’t been spoken to yet. It will bother the hell out off me if he is still on the list next year though.

Nine or ten will go, with one or two replaced by rookie promotions, leaving about seven new players to be picked up. They can be picked up easily, with
picks 2, 5, 21, 37 and 53, plus pick 2 in the PSD, plus one or two trades. We may not even need to use pick 53 yet still delist/trade nine palyers.

The priority pick allows us the freedom to cull an extra player and replace him with quality. With nine going, three already announced, that leaves 4-5 more delistings and 1-2 trades.

If Williams isnt in the group of 4-5 to get chopped I'd be surprised, considering he's currently one of only four players in the VFL remaining, in good form, and still cant get a game for the second bottom side.

I reckon a dozen will go/traded.

Elevate at least two, re-rookie the other.

Grab the #1 or 2 pre season pick, get a couple of trades, and the rest of kids.

That's the worst ****ing scenario I've ever heard for EVERYONE involved!

who would u elevate and who would u rerookie????

I'd definitly elevate Obrien. Think theres a chance fanning may be rerookied if they're confident our ruck division won't collaps again. maybe rerookie davies?

leonard will probably be gone... thats all of our rookies yeah?

Fanning promoted, either of Davies or O'Brien promoted/re-rookied.

Leonard gone.

There are three already gone, Williams will also go, Davidson big chance, King big chance - that's six. Walker maybe, Richards maybe, then you have tradeables, Davis, Lonie, Lockyer, O'Bree, Cole, etc

We've got plenty of dead wood that have to go.

Can't see richards being delisted, traded maybe. Add Walker to that list as well. Davidson is MM's new lovechild. Havent heard a 1 game in 3 years player being talked about by a coach that much. Let's hope he can get some games under his belt next year if he's still on our list. Lonie and maybe davis are the only realistic trades, possibly cole. Lockyer and obree ain't going anywhere (and not only by choice).

Williams will go....someone mentioned MM hasnt had the meetings with the players yet, i was surprised to hear Lokan had been given the chop before these meetings anyway

O'Brien and Fanning will be promoted, Davies re-rookied IMO

Can davies use the ball? Not well enough for mine. Leave him on the rookie list.
he is quite raw but there is definitely room for improvement, and he has the talent to improve

he has 2 years on the rookie list, this is his first, so we can retain him without the risk of having to re-rookie him, whereas we dont have that "luxury" with Fanno

i highlight "luxury" as some may not feel Fanning should be promoted anyway....i believe he should
