A little light entertainment and brevity amongst the doom and gloom.

Pick a number any number. That number is from the net change to our list from 2012 to 2013.

Keep in mind there are NO rookies in 2013. Currently there are 46 players. next year there will only be 40 (I think this is right, feel free to correct me )

So I think the logical way to call this is how many names from the total list(s) will remain on the list for 2013.

Im going with 31 players will be the same.

Along with Lawrence, Green, Jurrah & Moloney the other player who will make way I'm thinking will be:

Petterd (trade/delist)

Martin (trade for the right price)

Bate (Free Agent)

Bennell (trade/delist)

One of Cook or Davis (delist and the other will be luckyp)

Williams (delist)

So I'm thinking it will be 10 out.

I also reckon Bartram will be delisted and re-rookied so that's why I haven't included him in the above list.

Can I have this in NEON please..There are NO ROOKIES IN 2013

There is to be ONE list....just one per club. No more rookies and Vets will be included in the 40 ( just treated differently re the cap )

cheers

edit: subsequent to better information there may be NO rookies..or there might be some. Apparently not required , but optional.

For some sick reason, I was so hoping this would be another poll from Range Rover...

So you've said in other threads but I am yet to see any release from the AFL that confirms this and found nothing after a google search that confirms this.

I think it entirely depends on how many Neeld wants from other clubs that he can manage to attract to us.

There'll be a minimum of 6-8 in ND + PSD (depending on whether we upgrade Nicho & Evans), but the maximum depends on how many (OOC or FA) from elsewhere Neeld can attract to MFC. It could be none; it could be another 6 or 8.

I doubt that Neeld has any maximum number in mind. There's no point getting rid of players if there's nobody to replace them, but I have no doubt that he'll delist or trade as many as he needs, depending on how many incomers he can get to sign on the dotted line.

Is it possible that you could provide the AFL changes for 2013.

The only thing I can find is this article. It doesn't say there will be no rookies.

Who says there is no rookie list?

December 11, 11am - NAB AFL Pre-Season Draft.

December 11, 11.05am - Brisbane Lions, Gold Coast Suns, GWS Giants and Sydney Swans Eligible Pre-Selected Rookies.

December 11, 11.10am - NAB AFL Rookie Draft.

Interesting in a fashion that the numbers reflect quite considerable change.

4 are givens. i wonder if there'll be a domino effect

13. Biggest single list change ever

You are all quite conservative. Im going with 12 but Im thinking as much as 15!

I also am leaning towards 12. I could live with higher provided we were going nuts on trades and got either players or decent picks out of it.

8

4 already gone (Green, Jurrah, Beamer, Lawrence) + Petterd, Bate, Bennell, Morton

hold it... probably 9 because they will try and trade Martin.

No, hang on, wait..... 10 or 11 becasue Bail and Dunn are not safe.

OK I'll give up now and take another guess at 10

Also, there is most definitely a Rookie Draft this year. There have been a few minor changes to the rules surrounding it, but Rookies still exist. Pretty sure the decided a year or two ago that trading rookies was also allowed.

i'll go 9

12 to 15:

Gawn already:

Green

Moloney

Jurrah

Lawrence (rookie so doesnt count)

Trade bait (with all due respect):

Morton (has another year but its as clear as daylight)

Martin (GC for Caddy?)

Petterd (I loved this bloke, dont want him to go but I have a feeling)

Rivers (keep hearing rumours)

Dunn (fattening up the calf perhaps?)

Watts (unlikely but stranger things have happened)

Strauss (there are rumours)

Gysberts (there are rumours)

Bail (a QLD boy for Josh Caddy/Toy)?

Potential to be delisted or traded if possible:

Bate

Bennell

Cook (could be too soon, but it doesnt look good)

Retirement?

Aaron Davey (I worry about his injuries and his limp)

I doubt all of these will come out but there is potential for a few more than 12!!
