Viv Michie

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,778]

Yeah I reckon he may have been initially signed for 3 years.

He did get recruited with an excellent reputation despite playing just 1 game in 3 years for Freo, due to injuries.

Is this relevant?

Just looking at the key dates ahead then.

It appears that if Viv was only on a 2 year contract, he has until November 9 to sign a new deal or nominate for the draft.

Guess we'll know one way or another by then...

Yes, I initially had him as a 2016 OOC but, as I said, had word from his player sponsor he is OOC this year.

Is this relevant?

Yes, it makes me think he is not OOC.

So Grampa Terls is going round for another year...

can't say that until the final delisting cutoff

May or may not, but when I look at the list he and Matt Jones are the only players I truly shudder at.

Rewind to 3 years ago.... there were probably 15 players we shuddered at. The list turnover and replenishment has been huge.

...but still not quite complete.

Both top 5 in the Bluey under Neeld.

Magnitude 8.6 shudder...

Still think his last 2 games for us were impressive and showed he may have turned the corner. Glad he is still on the list.

Degrees better than M Jones and Terlich IMO

[DeeSpencer 25,477]

Picks 50 and 46 (which will come in a bit) combine for pick 32 (which will stay similar or ease out a bit) under the points system.

If we weren't playing on dropping someone back to the rookie list then I would've thought we might have looked to combine these 2 picks in trade week for 1 higher pick.

Unless if we caught on to interest from another club in stealing whomever we were to drop back as a delisted free agency, which could happen with someone like Michie or even Hunt.

out of Michie Mones and Turnip id only keep Viv. Other 2 are list clogging and will go at the earliest opportunity . 2 easily identified persons for moving on next year imho

Deserves a contract over a likely list clogger in Ben Kennedy, or Hunt.

How can you put Ben Kennedy in the list cliggar category when he hasn't even played a game for us? Pretty silly to be honest, at least give the kid a chance to prove himself.

[rpfc 28,263]

One man's list clogger...

[stuie 7,374]

Don't understand why so many who complain about our depth want Matt Jones out the door so quickly.

He shouldn't be anywhere near the 22, but we have 40 senior list spots. Played 9 games this year and is a consistent utility type.

Happy to have him for next year, then reassess.

[daisycutter 29,604]

you do realise matt jones is 28?

I dont have a problem with Jones being on the list next year. At worse he will just be an outside midfielder depth which will come handy when the likes of Stretch and Parish get tired towards the end of the year. Jones can come in and chop out for a game or two while our young boys rest up.

29 next year too. Yes I do realize that.

As I said, happy to have him next year and then reassess.

Michie offers more than MJones and Terls. It's about improving our overall depth. If milkshake, bugger and Kennedy push these guys out and our list improves, I will be pleased. They may well play differing roles in the game plan, but I'd rather the better player than the battler that rarely gets a senior game.

[olisik 4,060]

M Jones actually plays as a defensive forward really well. Locks the ball in well and causes stoppages

He was a key part of our win in Geelong this year. He's definitely ahead of Terlich.

Well, he plays AFL games...

I honestly don't know why they are just leaving a top 40 pick to be 'passed' on.

I expect another deletion prior to the draft or right after it.

As do I, but I highly doubt that it will be Matt Jones.

[Fitz Fitzpatrick 886]

Matt Jones has limited time ahead of him at 28 , and will never be a match winner but i think its a bit harsh to put him in the same basket as terlich. He did a great job on enright this year and is a fair distributor around the packs.

Ideally he never gets a game but he's not as bad a depth player as some perceive
