Want to kick off a thread to discuss any players which are delisted/retired this year.

Good place to r eminence of the service they paid to the club. No retirees or delisted yet however we are just over a month away from the end of our season.

Roos gives some clues on list changes:

1. In terms of how many list changes will occur at the end of the season, Roos said: “I wouldn’t have thought as many as the last couple, but having said that, I really haven’t sat down and had a close look at it.”

2. I am paraphasing but he also says that if rotations and the sub change There’s no point bringing guys in that can’t run.

Those should help our DL predictions!

Well, I think most of us have been saying for a while that it will be 6-8 list changes, rather than 12 or so.

Terlich, McKenzie, Bail, M Jones (probably), Toumpas (traded), Howe. Grimes and Fitzpatrick could be gone too.

Don't forget Jamar.

I don't get the lack of love for Fitpatrick, he is about the same age as Gawn and has also had some health issues. I would give him another year. His upside cloud be huge.

Need list space

I don't get the love for Fitzy.. He is unorthodox. Is not in our best 6 forwards, and yes that does include Dawes, and is certainly not in our best 6 backs.

I would be very surprised if another team was interested in him as well. He is simply NO GOOD

I would give Fitzy another year too. I was just outlining who I think will go.

And yes. I was forgetting Jamar too.

How many would you turnover?.

Delist - Terlich, Bail, M Jones, McKenzie, Mitchie

Trade - Jamar, Toumpas, Grimes, Howe, Spencer

That's ten. I'm guessing six out.

What do you do with Dawes, Heritier, Spencer and Crossy?

I rank Fitzy in our top 30 players (for next year) and believe he will improve.

Edit: Added (for next year)

It would be an expensive exercise to pay out all those players with contracts for next year.

"No good" is a bit harsh, he's a decent player, but definitely not best 22 atm.
