If you delist those four players as mentioned it would be seem we would be short on tall players on the list. I feel that one of them will survive on the senior list.

I think we'll sort that out at the trade table.

You and I watched a different and then. Has class and good disposal; the last is something we need more, not less of.
Didn't get enough of the ball to warrant being in the side ahead of Billings or Sinclair whose spot he'd be gunning for.

I didn't say he's best 22 dear, I said he'd stay on the list.
Ahh yes you did. Fair point. Don't disagree there, for depth I see no harm.

Where?
I said he did enough to earn a new contract and that we need classy disposal more, which he has.
No no no, I was agreeing with you.

I see. Carry on then, you're clearly an insightful and attractive person.

Watch this passage of play by Minchington: great mark and bullet pass to Sammy Gilbert (who stuffs up the goal kick out on the full, but that's not Minch's fault). If he can do things like that, he's got a place in our 44.

Got sold on Minch last year against Carlton. Everyone else was kicking poorly except him

The difficult part for Minch is that he's now regularly on-ball for Sandy and looks like his tank is building. He is probably the premier running mid (not bullocking mid like Cockie) at Sandy.
When he moves up to AFL he's behind Joey, Jack, Armo, Ross, Mav et al...and is pigeon-holed as a small forward.
I didn't think he was bad, didn't think he was good either. As I said earlier he needs to find more of the ball. In 6 games has only had over 10 possessions once (I assume he's been sub in a few though).
And then behind half forwards like Schneider, Billings, Sinclair and Lonie. I think he's a good depth player though.

I really hope we keep Minchington. Depth players are extremely important and he'll be that at the absolute worst IMO. Never know, a spot could open up for him when Billings and Sinclair move into the midfield.
None of them are half forwards ( well maybe Schneider) , they are mid's that can play that role. Is Garry Ablett jr a half forward?
Shenton may be destined to be a depth player. Still worth having. We had Raph for years, and the Hawks have Shoenmakers.
Re-signing Shenton now makes me think that they have made up their mind that some of the older players are going.
Markworth, White etc may be going too, but you would imagine that they would give them the second half of the season to show enough to be kept.

Agree with SS - these days you don't have half-forwards, you just have some mids that are lighter, elusive and kick goals. Especially considering the style we're playing; even back in round 5 we were sending Lonie and Sinclair to centre-bounces and even around ball-ups within 30m of our own posts. Minch needs to develop a bit more at AFL level, but I don't see his type of game being an issue.

A brave man, you float value for Markworth, Pierce, Curren, Murdoch, Minch delist Simpkin, White, Siposs.
Schneids retires, Fish makes way if we're ready to blood Goddard, Demps also makes way if we're planning to keep Wright, but Wright is also floated for value if we're not.
Holmes, is fine, Sinc is fine for rookies.
JBT (1.97m tall), Mob Boss Mountain (Giovanni Mountain-Silbery) are safe as they are NZ scholarship and AFL won't dump them while they're trying for a push if they want to grow the game, either will only be let go if it's amicable for both parties. Barclay Miller (gaiden) is also safe, also being from NZ. Funny how people seem to forget the white bloke out of the three of them generally despite also being 1.95m tall. What I'm getting at is, these three are fine because they're practically giants and kiwi, they'll be given plenty of time to make it work.
And as we know I don't rate Saunders that highly, so for consistencies sake and the sake of bold decisions, look to trade him as well. Across this season and next, wouldn't be surprised at all to see the majority not on out list.

JBT is 197cm now is he? He's still listed as 193cm...
Problem is he can't stay on the list forever, and he's only playing Dev League. I agree you can't rush them, but you can't wait forever either.
