My delistings for the end of the year:
- Jarryd Blair
- Ben Crocker
- Lachlan Keeffe
- Liam Mackie
- Adam Oxley
- Jackson Ramsay
- Ben Sinclair
- Travis Varcoe
- Jesse White
Mason Cox, Henry Schade and Josh Thomas officially on the senior list for 2018, Max Lynch and Mitch McCarthy retained as rookies.
Plan on 44 listed players for 2018, giving four free senior list spots and four rookie list spots going into the trade/free agency/draft period.
Hold fire on free agents, trades and mature agers, and do not re-draft any delistees.
Draft eight 18-year olds (including at least two 193cm+ key forwards) in the National and Rookie Drafts.
I think Crocker deserves another one-year deal for his showings in 2016, he needs to find some decent attributes to show off at AFL level though.
Blair agree
Keeffe agree
Mackie agree
Oxley - I don't see any benefit in delisting contracted players. I no club wants him, we should throw him on the rookie list
Ramsay - I don't think the club will get rid of him. One year deal.
Sinclair - I think deserves one more year to show he can remain fit and play senior footy.
Varcoe - Again, a one-year deal would be suitable but I'm not bothered if he stays or goes. He looks pretty cooked.
I would delist Lynch, Schade and controversially Smith, who I think is very basic and there is nothing to work with. Lynch and Schade haven't made enough progress imo and won't make it.
