So how many more players do we need to Delist/Trade?

[Bates Mate 4,467]

It is all getting a bit confusing for me

So far we have

Robbo, Wheatly, Whelan, Brock gone

that to my understanding leaves us with 2 more to trade/delist so we can use our draft picks although we may pass as early as 34

how do Valenti & Spencer fit into this are they counted as rookies still or are they officially on our list becuase we elevated them??

So if it is 2 players to delist who will it be Bartram, Bell, Newton (even through contracted), Mcnamara,PJ,

Correct, we need to delist or trade 2 more players to use all those draft picks... If we want to promote Valenti or Spencer, we would have to delist more players, however the rules maybe altered where we could keep rookies for 3 years, which would be ideal, to then upgrade Valenti/Spencer as one of our 3 players next year, in the compromised draft...

I think that because Brock has left, we will upgrade Valenti to the senior list...

They are still rookies - the elevation was only temporary.

With the changed AFL rules we can keep on one 'third-year' rookie.

Bell is contracted, while Jamar and Cheney are still uncontracted.

Note that we could also free up space by trading one or two players.

Apparently there has been interest in Bell, Buckley and Jamar.

If moving Bell/Jamar/Miller and Buckley can improve our spot in the draft, we may as well look at what is out there.

Brock was in our best 22 and was traded, I would consider the above to be on the cusp of the best 22. all these guys can play, but would all be better suited to a stronger team as none of the mentioned players are match proven game winners. They could all be strong addtioans to a winning side, as for us our 22 is up in the air so seeking picks could work for both parties.

The more I read, the more I am convinced Jamar is on the move. Bell, Miller and Bucks on the move? Your guess is as good as mine!

[Old Gregg 1]

1 Robbo

2 Wheatley

11 Whelan

18 McLean

Two more....

34 McNamara

PSD 1 Upgrade (i.e. player + pick for slightly higher pick)

If not possible, then delist Bartram

Retain Spencer if possible.

If not possible, then delist Miller or Buckley
