Are we now wanting someone to take Meesen/Newton to have a possible rookie of one of these or Mitch Thorp? Do Hawks have an extra spot?

The ND is over and Newton and Meesen remain.

I think it's time we accepted we're stuck with them and move on. Our list is Joel Macdonald shy of being final for 2010.

Correct McDonald is the only other one we'll be adding to the list. Unfortunately what we know (Meesen, Newts, other rookies) are no where near as exciting as potential draftees like Panos and family related players like Grimes but we must move on.

what about AH CHEE!!

No Nasher there is still hope I believe.

Newts or Meesen could be still picked up in the PSD or in the Rookie by someone else.

Just don't hold your breathe though.

I think Hawthorn are thinking of picking a ruckman as a mature age rookie but i think we should not be greedy and accept them as rookies. I'm thankful this was allowed to happen and we could take a punt on Gawn and Fitzpatrick.

I would LOVE if people would watch players play before claiming that you would LOVE them to be at the club.

And Ah Chee is too young isn't he?

I'm still not sold on Macdonald.

Anyone in favor of the golden "Thanks but no-thanks" handshake for Meesen and Newton? We will give you a years salary NOT to be rookie listed. Gives us two picks to rookie someone worth rookie listing. Not going to happen, but they have to realize that they will not be on the list next season anyway.

Some great rookie options available with Grimes, Daw, Panos, and Patrick. Meesen and Newton have plenty of footy left, but for a rebuilding club we need guys who have a higher ceiling on the off chance we can unearth something special.

These are all KPP's that we should target in the Rookie Draft. Personally, i think that there is absolutely no use redrafting Meesen as we have just drafted two ruckmen in Gawn and Fitzpatrick. All these KPP's were expected to be drafted so imo the Dees should take a gamble on one of them.

I'm hoping that all delisted players have to pass through the preseason draft before the rookie draft.

Maybe one or both may get taken prior to the rookie draft. I don't know which teams have list space available for the preseason draftees.

This surely would be our only hope to take fresh rookies.
