Is the period to pickup delisted free agents still open or do you need to use draft picks at this point?

Opens again next Friday, and runs for a week. Not sure there will be much interest there, as clubs can wait for the draft and pick them up late, or wait for the supplementary period

Max knobel will reportedly be delisted by Freo and picked up as a rookie. He had previously been mentioned on some posts....is he worth a look ? Only just 20 and 206 cm. Played at Gippsland as a junior. He didn't do too much this year and last, but is only 20.

I'm certainly all for throwing a life line out to DGB. And if not him then Caleb Marchbank. The only key defender we have coming through is Jed Adams who I'm not sold on. Who knows how long May & McDonald will go on, so we need some other options down there.

 

Either would be worth a go IMO, but preferably DGB.

Petty should be tattoo'd into the full back goalswquare for the next decade. he could be an all australian if they actually let him flourish, even throwing turner behind the ball when may or mcdonald got subbed out of games ahead of petty was really poor to see imo from the coaching group

Name them all please ! 

Cloggers: Laurie, Billings, McAdam, Sharp, Howes, Fullarton, and chandler is probably lucky we dont have another top class small forward

Agree with you on Petty playing in the backline however you’re very harsh on Sharp calling him a list clogger. Let the man at least play a game for us first.

What a mess! Kossie not top class? Howes 16 games... but is somehow clogging the list? Sharp yet to be given an opportunity and most recent selection an emergency for the Premiers! Do your homework Turner!

list clogger is the new spud. Don't like either term.

Ruthless time of the year.  Another round of delistings sees Olli Hotton leave the Saints.  He is a promising youngster, only 20yo with 2 years in the system.  Saw him at VFL level when Sandringham beat Casey.  In a close game , Membrey again was prolific with 6 goals but Hotton also looked dangerous as a half forward and kicked 5 goals.  Not sure why he’s delisted.  Work rate? Attitude? Surplus of small forward types?? I am not saying Dees need to bring him but it shows how clubs are making tough calls and even talented youngsters who don’t show enough development , can and will be delisted.  Dees are holding a few on the list in the hope that they will develop … but perhaps we should be making tougher decisions.  Maybe next year.

howes has played 16 games placing him =37th overall for games played from his draft with miller bergman from north

55 games, two whole seasons of top level football behind the leaders of his class. i didnt say i dont think hes got some nice attributes, likewise sharp he was clearly a targetted recruit and a moneyball selection given what we believe his output will be compared to teh price of the trade but i am not overly optomistic either one will have any meaningful or consistent impact in the next 12-24 months at which point both will be 24yo's with 6 years in the league. look how quickly geelong make calls on their draftees. with many not being given longer than the initial 1 or 2 years. we almost always extend out to 4 for every draftee which limits our felxibility at this time of year

Justice delayed is justice denied, to be clear, not talking about what justice is denied for. So many double standards in the AFL, I'd really like to see him rehabilitated, he can actually play pretty bloody well and is easily the best of any player going around compared to anyone else on the delisted list. And on the bright side he has been injury free for 12 months. 

thought we had a no DH policy

 Not all are list cloggers 

sharpe Howes can play forward also and remember he has had two seasons marred by injury. Might be also better with a few kilos added but not Essential. The other 4 may if given opportunities especially MacAdam if fit and Fullarton maybe a key position even down back might be ok. But yes Laurie and Billings need a real lift to be regulars.

Rookie list is a joke.
 

SYDNEY has committed to redrafting defender Joel Hamling and swingman Aaron Francis in November's rookie draft after announcing the pair had been delisted on Wednesday.

COLLINGWOOD has committed to selecting premiership player Oleg Markov in next month's Telstra AFL Rookie Draft after the 28-year-old was delisted on Tuesday.  Markov and key forward Ash Johnson have both dropped off the club's senior list, but the Magpies say they will re-list the pair in the rookie draft on November 22.
