Now that the feel good stuff has finished in China, in the next few days it is going to be a major reality check for a few guys on our list... I hope that we hang on to McNamara & at a push Johnson ( suggested ages ago to rookie list them) & Healy...

The reason I say Healy should stay is that in the little time he has had actually playing instead of just signing autographs for fans in the crowd, he actually plays a really good hard at it game... He wins a lot of ball & has a good size about him...

Now that I have said that, I feel he is doomed to be delisted, like my project player from last year...

You are on the ball Wattsy, how did you go with sorting your time difference problems???

By the way, you are supposed to be our main man in Tas to let us know who we should be looking to recruit as a smokey in the draft...

Re: This years delistings

Senior List

In: McKenzie, Spencer (3 ND + 1 PSD)
Out: McDonald, Bell, Miller, Cheney, (McNamara, PJ)

Two spots free currently. I'd suggest we probably need two more (1 more ND pick, 1 PSD pick).

In trouble: McNamara, Johnson, Martin

Rookie List

In: (McNamara, PJ, 3 RD picks)
Out: McKenzie, Spencer, Meesen (Hughes + Healey)

I expect two of McNamara, Martin, PJ to be re-rookied. That leaves one rookie draft pick plus spots left by any delisting of Hughes, Healey or Newton.

I think Hughes and Healey will be delisted but Juice given one more year.

Completely agree. Hasn't put a foot wrong aside from getting injured. If he does get cut, I really hope he gets an opportunity at another club.
 
Re: This years delistings

Watched some round 22 footage of Juice in the backline the other day since his name was risen.

Took extra notice.. he was pretty solid. A few really good over the soldier defensive punches were done, among other things.

Let's wait till next year.

The Juice shall rise again.. here's hoping.
 
Re: This years delistings

As shit as Miller was he killed it in the VFL this year and is apparently the world's best clubman. Brad got the arse to make room for young talent and rightfully so.

Newton's resume has a mark of the year on it. Nothing else. **** him off.

Miller>>>>>>>>Newton.

Totally agree.

The word talent and Newton do not mix.
Get rid of him and give anyone else a chance. I would prefer to rookie an Afghani asylum seeker than have Newton on our list again.

I'm not sure we'll use a PSD pick, surely it will be lucky dip, not sure of the exact order but even if we have a player in mind eg Skipper how likely are we to get him? Given our 4th ND pick is so close to our 3rd it probably will be the go even though both those picks will obviously be bumped down the order a little - will be interesting though as we still haven't made space yet.

If McNamara goes RD I reckon he'll be gone by our turn. Martin and PJ will probably be there. PJ not under contract makes the issue a big call.

Totally agree! Still can't believe Miller gets delisted and yet Meesan and Newton are still listed players. THE MAN IS A ****ING DUD, **** NEWTON OFF!!

Meesen has been injured, and pretty much announced his retirement on Twitter.

Why the *&^% is Stef Martin still on the list?

The kid has shown nothing and looks WAY out of his league at AFL level.

Disagree. Looked good in the backline before being shunted around to positions where he was out of his depth.
 
Re: This years delistings

I know! He should of been delisted years ago. Miller getting delisted is the greatest thing to happen to the club since '64.

I dont know big Al Nicholson getting delisted was a pretty momentous moment in our history
 
PLEASE correct me but isnt Martin under contract for another year?

If he is - is there a way to get him onto the rookie list and free up a spot that way?

I think your right on the contract situation.

Is this not what we did with Juice and Meeson, we dropped both of them down to the rookie list.

I thought he was pretty good in the backline, the games he played this year were as a ruck forward. I think he should be given more of a chance coz he could be that player that swaps with jamar in the ruck/forward line. Its better then newton playing that role...
