Prior to 2027(EOY 2026) the club will move on players for those incoming new list additions.
I personally feel that the club needs to move on 6-8 players. I’d like up to 8 of the following to be moved on. I’d be interested in the thoughts of others. How many and who?

Prestia - retire
Broad - retire
Hopper - trade/sack
Ralphsmith - fringe weak delist
Rioli - not good enough delist
Clarke - later part season marks card
Ryan - spud sack
Tresize - fringe
Sonsie - fringe delist
OHB - fringe
Fawcett - fringe one year contract?
Smith - fringe delist

I don’t want reasons why I’m wrong just those you would want gone

Would you not give Clarke the same as your suggesting for Smith?
 
I would think we would need at least 7-8 off the list this year. Will wait until the season is over to see if any of our fringe players can step it up to stay on the list in the second half of the season. I think the above list are pretty close to who is in danger that's for sure.

Hopper - trade bait, good luck to us
Ralphsmith - delist
Clarke- delist
Rioli - delist
Ryan - payout and delist
Tresize - keep
Sonsie - keep
Ohb - delist if we land a ruck target
Fawcett - keep, but will ask for a trade
Smith - delist
 
More based on suspicion

Out - Ryan, OHB, Smith
Fringe - Tresize, HRS, Sonsie, Clarke
Trade - Hopper, Fawcett
Retire - Broad, Prestia

Could see us freeing up 6 spots, trading in two and drafting 3 with one for SSP.

Personally, given our age profile, Tresize and Sonsie should be held onto. Both have shown form at AFL and versatility.

id add TT to that list for a trade to Tassie

Another List Management thread!
Exactly what we need 😆
 
Only one’s I’d be offering deals for would be:
Clarke - 1 years
Sonsie - 2 years
Rioli - 1 year.

Rest I’d put up for trade or delist.

Would also be putting Short up for trade to see what we could get.
got to give Clarke 1 more opportunity, just to be certain with a decision either way.
We all understand the injuries, but the kid has the talent and drive to make it.
I will throw up if we were to delist him after all this time without giving him one more shot to show us what he has got and the body can hold up.

Looking at what we realistically can do and the draft ahead I think it's likely to be the following:
Prestia - retire
Broad - retire
2 of Trezise, Ralphsmith, Smith, Clarke and Sonsie to be delisted - the 3 remaining on a 1 year deal
OHB to be delisted and picked up in rookie draft to be on Cat A rookie list
Lefau to be upgraded to senior list on a 1 year deal
Fawcett, Rioli, Vlastuin, Lynch on 1 year deals
Retschko, Mansell, Green, Nank on 2 year deals
Annand & Burton re-rookie
3 ND selections

I think that's all (ideally Samson would be gone but don't see how that happens). We may look at a free agent or two - in that case there may be more delistings from the group of 5.
 
How hard to gut?

Right now you would think there are lots of spots available, but just taking our forward line into account, there shouldn't be.
Lalor, Hotton, Campbell, Cumming will all play forward at times. Algar looks a player. Faull, Sims, Armstrong. The weakest links will be Mansell and Green who can play.

Our older players are on the wane no doubt, but we have to back out youth over bringing in B grade talent from other clubs, unless they are a ruckman which we need badly. So we need to keep some depth players like Trezise and Sonsie for another year, because losing them could leave us very bare.

So draft picks will be the go, but how deep do you go.

Prestia
Broad
Hopper
Ralphsmith
Ryan
Smith
are the ones I think will go.
Lynch may retire. Vlastuin could also, seems to have lost a bit of passion.
 
Retire - Prestia, Broad
Trade - Hopper, Short (surplus to needs)
Delist - Ryan, Smith, MRJ, Ralphsmith.

Trezise and Burton would be next in line to go, as Hopper and Short may be going nowhere?

Personally I think Sonsie has shown enough for a 2 year deal. OHB retained as depth. Fawcett may look for more opportunities? Clarke put on rookie contract and given one last crack for next year as he showed plenty of promise and was good for a goal a game even as sub in minimal minutes, looked phenomenal before his last ACL!

MRJ, Ryan (6 years) and Ralphsmith (7 years) have had plenty of time and opportunities and aren't up to AFL standard. Time to try other players. Ryan's list spot is more Valuable than his contract...... maybe we can finagle his contract into a reserves contract? Need to get as many potential quality Rookies/ psd in before Tassie snaffle the lions share.

Depends on how many picks we wish to use and whether we bring in anyone via trade or free agency.

Prestia and Broad will retire.
Delist Ryan, Smith, Trezise and OHB.
