That's a bog average group of players right there. The Delist options are many. Other than the 5 highlighted who else would you keep and why?

Early days in the season so a long way to go on who gets cut. My prediction at this stage would be.

Milan from what we have seen will be moved to the senior list. 3 yrs

Extensions: Hewett 3-5 Yrs
Newton 2 yrs
Long(was looking best 22 before injury) 2 yrs
Fred 1Yr
Champion 1Yr
Schoenberg 1Yr


Offered a contract or Traded: Flynn, B. Williams, J. Williams and Maric.

On the chopping block unless form improves: Johnston, Hall, Bazzo, Barnett, Brockman.

Retire: Cripps

WAFL Captain: Cole.

Probably Staying

Hewett hasn't earnt a 3-5 years, would be more like 1-2 at this stage - depending on how his season pans out.

Schoenberg 1 year, easy decision. Champion depends on how his WAFL form pans out. Same for Fred.

Long probably destined for a basic 1 year extension depending on how his injury recovery goes.

50/50

Agree BW, JW, and Maric probably told to explore options. Can see some being retained for 1 year depending on how our list shapes up, but probably more useful on another list. B.Williams is a free agent this year as far as I'm aware.

HJ and Bazzo in danger if they can't improve over the WAFL season. Still holding out hope for Hall (he earnt a rising star nom late last year!) but I'm struggling to see where his best position is. He seems too slow but at the same time not physical enough.

Going

Cripps and Cole will be done this year you would think, I doubt that would come as a surprise to either of them.

Brockman and Barnett, baring some kind of divine miracle, are basically already delisted at this point. Expecting that announcement early in the off-season.
