There's normally a thread for the delisted free agents, so thought I should kick this years off and whether there's anything worth looking at that could suit our needs. https://www.afl.com.au/trade/list-changes For me, in order of what catches my interests. 1. Lochie O'Brien. - With Hibberd retiring, Deakyn Smith being delisted and Joel Smith being moved forward, we suddenly have a lack of rebounding defenders. Lochie O'Brien could fill this void. Traditionally a wing, but has spent time at half back. A good runner with a decent left foot could be worth a look. 2. Tim O'Brien - Former Hawk turned Bulldog started as a forward who often played 2nd ruck before switching to the Dogs as a defender. We know how many key position players the Dogs have, so could we recruit O'Brien as Max's back up who could also play either end at Casey when not in the seniors, allowing plenty of opportunity for Verrell and Farris-White to develop their ruck skills in the VFL? 3. Brynn Teakl - Ruckman from Port. Played some senior football this year and is a mature body. Could be the understudy to Max we need, though personally I'm not that big a wrap.
