Forgot to mention Minchie…… good bye,Riley perhaps! Are we up to our usual 10-12 delistings now? Bennell and Dixon mentioned as replacements,many past dee players were f.cked in the head from Mark Neeld and co. and had to be let go.

Getting any GC players might be a mistake due to their ability to constantly lose and the drug scandal arisen from the scum bag K Michael-Hunt. Drug dealing AFL/Rugby players don't get anywhere the same penalty as those who take drugs.

Love your work ENYAW. As usual it is like a rare wine - to be savoured and considered in all its subtlety - not judged on an initial start of the palate response.

Mckenzie definite,Terlich possible( lightning may strike twice),Bail and Matt Jones could be safe due to their "back up value"……. experienced reserves. Fitzy or Spencer to go…. both are up and down. Jamar not safe.

Grimes definite,Trengove to stay,if he gets back to his best may make a useful defender.Forget the physicoligal ploy to [censored] him off last year.Toumpas possible may be replaced by HARMES or HUNT. Howe rumoured to go the way as Stef Martin,

Watts might go,just too soft for AFL footy,ROOSY loves him.Garland could be up for trade only as a slim chance.

Hold up...Spencer played a big part in the bulldogs and geelong wins. You are a bit off the mark there..lets say Gawn does his knee next week then who steps up to the ruck..??

So I'm assuming in this thread that players contract status aren't relevant one bit?

It is about delisting AND trading... so while it's relevant it also doesn't mean it dictates what we can try to do in the off season

I get that, but when you continually see contracted names Terlich, M. Jones, Michie thrown around, just to name a few.... It's never to be traded, because as we all know, they have zero value.

Wouldn't be the greatest look for the club sacking three contracted players. I agree with pretty much everyone that they're not long term players for the club, but I currently assume they'll still be on the list next year.

I agree, in that too many mention those names above as potential delistings, yet they are still contracted for another year. Technically they can be traded IF there is a taker, which for those 3 I doubt there would be, but there is still that option. It does boggle the mind a little that Terlich and M. Jones got the contracts they did however.

Its probably the lack of posters knowledge of his is in and out if contract...

As far as i know Garland is a free agent at thw wnd of the year..correct me if i am wrong but..it would seem that most players who havent resingned by this time of the year tend to be moving clubs..i will be interested to see which clubs attract him...

Your right that does tend to be the way. Cloke ended up signing late and I think Dunn signed about mid year the other year if I'm correct. I hope he stays.

Edit: Re-worded.

Would Garland for Yarran improve our team at all...? carlton is a team that could use him..

So I'm assuming in this thread that players contract status aren't relevant one bit?

Not as much as they once were.

Would prefer Jetta over Yarran too.

I'm not sure of the contract status of most of our players, but the list changes end of year look to me like -

Retirements;

Mark Jamar

Delistings;

Rohan Bail

Aiden Riley

Viv Michie

Jordie Mckenzie

Dean Terlich

Question Marks;

Dean Kent

Matt Jones

Jack Fitzpatrick

The unfortunate fact for these guys is that you can cut this entire group without affecting our match-day performance.

Some still have a chance to prove themselves, and in what is rumoured to be a weak draft the club might persevere rather than start fresh with draftees.

A 5 or 6 player 'churn' is pretty appropriate for a club still looking to develop their list.

Kent, really?

I'd probably take Riley out of the delistings, at this stage anyway.

Makes more sense when I read it backwards...

'Spence' has been improving steadily over 3 seasons. he's pretty resilient... gawn has played what, one, or two good games? Max.

I reckon it is a bit early to say, 'gawn' is the next big thing. he's barely pulled the skin off, a rice pudding to this point.

Would prefer Jetta over Yarran too.

would prefer both of them, Yarran off a wing, i reckon sounds good.

So true but our list looks so much more healthy with Gawn up and owning the no1 ruck pos.

its a positive that he has finally responded to some critique & shown he has some more in the tank. but just how much is in there when the chips down? Spence is a goer, & will go & go.

gawn is yet to show this, that he can go & go. week after week, after week, & thru the seasons. how hungry he is, his inner self is yet to witness.

Gawn's temporary new nickname: One or Two Good Games Max.

He's been dropped to the reserves in order to work on some deficiencies a handful of times. Like many young players.

Saying he hasn't been getting games is just a silly thing to say.

As for Yarran. He's proven that when he plays at his potential, he's an extremely damaging and great player.

I'm not really a fan 'steve', I don't see him as a great player but he can be damaging.

Not reliable enough for mine though.

If we were going for pace and I think we do need to look at it then I would look at Motlop.

Your patience must be through the roof for a player like Watts then...

Yarran has proven his ability and performed dominantly a number of times at the top level displaying elite level skills, pace and intensity.

Like Garlett last year, he's form is suffering from possibly a number of reasons.

Yarran possesses so much of what our list lacks. Speed and elite kicking.

I think you're being short-sighted with this one.

I believe Jetta will be at the Eagles next year. His old man has been saying it at work and happy to have him back. You could almost cross him off the list.

His kicking is one of the things that worries me, he's sometimes way too casual and misses targets.

Interesting you mention Watts, but I think Yarran is very outside and very much picks and chooses. As I say if we are making a play for pace I would rather us throw some cash at Motlop.

motlop has been mooted as one of the possible moves if crows do choose to 'match' the dangerfield contract (presuming it comes from the cats) and force geelong to the trade table.
