My Cat supporting mates would disagreeing with you vehemently.Miers was never s**t.
I can cull 9 with my eyes closed. Aren't we 2 short of a full list anyway so only need 7. Piece of cake.It's interesting we currently have 9 picks in the draft but we want to trade up into the better picks at the top end of the draft. To do that people are suggesting we trade with sides like Carlton Brisbane Suns & Adelaide that are looking to draft father/son or academy selections. Now those clubs don't necessarily need to trade before the draft and could simply wait until the draft to make deals once bids are placed. That would mean that we would need to have 9 list vacancies heading into the draft to be able to carry all our picks into the draft for live trading at the draft.

The point is that they can especially if come trade period they believe that they may be able to get their F/S or Academy kids after their first pick in the draft, so I don't believe that it is a guarantee that we will get those picks off opposition clubs that a lot seem to think we'll just walk in and get because we hold a raft of latter round picks.Clubs won’t leave it until draft night to accumulate their points … too risky. So we will be trading picks before the draft and I’d imagine based on Baker/Rioli/Graham rumours and delistings/retirements we will enter the draft with about 7-picks. 5 under 30 and a couple of speculative ones beyond that we will only use if a player we rate is still on the board.
We will go from 5th oldest to 5th youngest list in the off-season, which is what needs to happen.

Brisbane will have to. They aren't getting under an Ashcroft bid. Even Blues 2nd rounder if they suck this year will be available.The point is that they can especially if come trade period they believe that they may be able to get their F/S or Academy kids after their first pick in the draft, so I don't believe that it is a guarantee that we will get those picks off opposition clubs that a lot seem to think we'll just walk in and get because we hold a raft of latter round picks.
We are always better off keeping Baker rather than losing him.Big chance Baker is gone, like 95%.![]()

We're sort of all expecting it nowBig chance Baker is gone, like 95%.![]()
Agreed. Applies to Short as wellWe are always better off keeping Baker rather than losing him.
But as long as we get a very good deal for our VC then it's not a disaster.
If we accept a token pick then the club is being negligent and complacent. No other club would let their VC go for a token pick.

He shouldn't...he can't even be considered a footballer.Colina doesn’t count as a list spot does he? Thought we got dispensation to keep him on the Cat B list?
Him and OHB don't count. Still don't think he'll be there next year though.Colina doesn’t count as a list spot does he? Thought we got dispensation to keep him on the Cat B list?
Yeah, but you can't delist them and take an extra pick in the draft. Its 42 + 2 Cat B rookies. They're separate.They both count as part of the 44 listed players.
It's 44 total listed players, they changed it a few years back during Covid. Prior to that Cat B rookies were outside the list, but now they are part of it.Yeah, but you can't delist them and take an extra pick in the draft. Its 42 + 2 Cat B rookies. They're separate.
