Yes, but there are negotiations to be made there around the payout of their remaining contract.Question-if a player is contracted for 2021 can they be delisted?

Powell and Luko not breakout?Fantastic write up above so I won’t go into the same issues, for me the season gets a C-
Why? Finished the year poorly, lack of rotation, the playing of favourites, lack of any breakout years ( can’t call first year players as break outs), Hanley, Day and Harbrow.
I fear we lose depth in 2021 and go backwards with injuries.
I’ll give you Luko and I love Powell, I remember many early to mid season calling for his headPowell and Luko not breakout?
Really surprised by good Rankine's numbers compared to others.Career season to date (3+ years in)
Ainsworth
Bowes
Ballard
Collins
Miller
Powell
Weller
Basically every youngster (1st or second year) had a good year
King, Lukosius, Rowell, Anderson, Buderick all showed heaps.
Rankine inconsistent but I'd take a 'first season' small forward with 2.4 scoring shots + 0.5 goal assists per game with flashes of brilliance every day of the week. Consistency will come.
For reference
Tom Papley 3.3 scoring shots + 0.5 goal assists
Charlie Cameron 2.8 scoring shots + 0.3 goal assists
Izak Rankine 2.4 scoring shots + 0.5 goal assists
Gary Rohan 2.3 scoring shots + 0.6 goal assists
Dan Butler 2.3 scoring shots + 0.5 goal assists
Jaidyn Stephenson 1.9 scoring shots + 0.8 goal assists
Luke Breust 1.7 scoring shots + 0.8 goal assists
Gary Ablett 1.5 scoring shots + 1.1 goal assists
Anthony Mcdonald-Tipungwuti 1.5 scoring shots + 0.3 goal assists
Robbie Gray 1.2 scoring shots + 0.7 goal assists
Gryan Miers 1.1 scoring shots + 0.3 goal assists
Didn't see a huge amount from Flanders or particularly Sharp but they're only young and can see how they will fit into our team in the next few years if they can continue to develop their play.
Mature recruits in Greenwood and Ellis both finished top 5 in the B+F
We stayed relatively injury free
We got to delist a huge number of non-AFL standard players at the end of the year
So many positives this year.
I 100% support Rankine into the midfield calls.Really surprised by good Rankine's numbers compared to others.
Everybody talks about getting a midfielder with a inside/outside game, speed but we got some already on the list though not there yet regarding bodies, tank. I would hope Rankine will spend significant minutes in the midfield next year. Flanders too but he is a bit behind in his development.
I 100% support Rankine into the midfield calls.
Have seen how great around the stoppages he can be.
The pressure will kind of make him choose the first option instead of option number 5 as well. Not much room to showboat.
I think he can be a gun up there.
Saw how Robbie Graysons was almost best player on the field second half against Collingwood after going to the midfield.
He didn't do anything crazy. Just super clear below his knees and always choosing the right option.
Definitely think Rankine can do that.
McKenna also suggested Rankine moving into midfield this morning on SEN review. Compared him to Ablett there regarding clean hands, reading the game, kickI 100% support Rankine into the midfield calls.

ill have to check it out.McKenna also suggested Rankine moving into midfield this morning on SEN review. Compared him to Ablett there regarding clean hands, reading the game, kick
In 2021, I will be disappointed if we don’t win 8-11 games (from 22) provided we have again a reasonable run with injuries.
