This poster has claimed that he is a list management expert who can see things that others cannot see.  I am simply calling him on his claim.

Who cares lol... We all have different opinions but apparently that is bad to you. Calling someone out is trolling btw.

Yeah I rate Joel Smith. I don't understand people's criticism of him.

And yeah correction. Mitch Brown (delisted). 

Great athlete, average (at best) footballer.

Pretty simple really...

No it's not, it's holding them to account for their baseless posting.

keeping in mind list sizes shrink again this year too

had this thread bookmarked all season and it's taken a couple weeks longer to bump than i anticipated but gee whiz it was a bloody amazing couple weeks. personally i didn't see the ANB resurrection, got that very wrong and JSmith resigning at all let alone as early as he did completely caught me out particularly after the MSD recruitment of cousin Daniel but otherwise i don't think im too far off, guess time will tell. but this is certainly some fun reading ahahaha gg's everyone

I reckon Chandler is worth another year.  we need back small fwds. dount we'll ever have a better year on the injury front

Good to see Hibbo has signed on for another year too

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,706]

A review of this thread made some entertaining reading. I'm not critical of anyone who posted what they thought. At least they were prepared to present their opinions for all to see. Some suggestions were spot on and others look a bit, well, surprising now we've had the benefit of seeing them play (or not) in 2021. 

[manny100 1,504]

6 list spots to fill. Probably save one for the mid season draft given local and Junior footy will likely resume.

If  Melksham wants a trade that is 7 spots.

Its unlikely we will have the same run with injuries and form so we will need to retain some depth.

Ok, I'm here :)

Nathan Jones (Ret): I think this is almost a guarantee.
Toby Bedford (Delisted): He's had his time to earn a spot and hasn't taken it.
T.McDonald (Delist or trade): Going by how hard we tried to trade him I think he will be gone. Needs to kick 35-40 goals to keep his spot on the list. 
J.Jordan (Delist): Too slow.
S.Goodwin: Sacked before round 8. 
N.Jetta (trade): Trade for a late pick. 
A.Bradtke (Delist)
Baker: Staying on. We're one of the slowest teams in the comp. You don't trade your quickest players when you're as slow as us. Neale-Bullen (traded to a SA team)
Neitschke (Delist and rookied)

Count yourselves lucky
Hore, Hibberd, Vandenberg, Neal-Bullen to stay on for one more.
 

What an absolute spanner

Have you ever seen Spanner Crabs Daz? Weird looking things but very nice eating !!

[BScotti 178]

question for Demonland posters...

- With JJ extension for 2 years does that move him to primary list automatically?

- did Hibbo sign?

- unsigned is Bedford, Hibbo, Hore, baker, Daw, Smith(D), Chandler, Declase and Turner.  Correct?

Quick note for Demonlanders. There's a huge difference between resigned and re-signed. Your keyboards have hyphens for a reason. Please use them appropriately over the next few weeks and save the rest of us from having palpitations.

I'm not sure what it says about my mindset but all I saw when looking at that crab photo was a Premiership Cup.

Hibbo signed a one year deal. Heard about it on Friday or Sat. Haven’t seen written confirmation yet

Jordon was drafted so should be in the primary list already I think

hibbo signed on

That was also my intention... Great pic up

[spirit of norm smith 16,310]

6 changes for me. 

retirement. Jones. Jetta 

delisted.  Vdberg.  Lockhart.  Nietschke (r) Bradtke (cat b) 

Melksham   Like him to stay but understand why we is chasing opportunities and perhaps a longer contract   

Bring in youngsters like Andrew, Banks, Rayson, Woewodin , Reyson, Moniz-Wakefield.  

[MadAsHell 4,212]

Still think we've got one or two more spots to clear.

Think it will come down to if we can find a trade for Melksham or another senior player wants out? Factoring in the elevation from the start of the year from Jordon from the rookie to the senior list and if Chandler is extended, he'll also need to be elevated. That means we need to clear one more senior spot to have 3 picks at the draft. If we can't trade Melksham it puts Hore firmly in the gun it seems.

Then it just depends how many of Deakyn Smith, Turner and Declase we want to keep. We can keep them all and then still have a rookie list spot available.

A lot can happen over a season. Who would have guessed the progression of JJ and Sparrow? Vanders place in the squad changed based on this and other factors. Still played many good games and always gave 100%

Wouldn't Turner and Declase be on contract? Surely we can't draft someone during season 2020 and then delist them at season's end.

We can, but they get a guarantee 60K or something like that which comes out of the cap.

[manny100 1,504]

We Gawn and Jacko who are stars in the ruck and Daw as back up. We will likely pick up a young ruck in the draft if one is available.

Clubs tend to emulate the Premiers. After seeing Gawn rip the Prelim apart and Jacko play a cracker 3rd Q  (good all game) in the GF rucks will likely be picked up earlier than they usually would be.

chandler doesn't have to be upgraded, new afl rule for this season due to lack of second tier comp and ability to develop players can spend a 4th season as a rookie
