What is the use to get a all out midfielder if they are not up to standard - when put the time into a guy that turns into a Dunstan or worse - pick the best available and then see once they develop what position they take on. Jack Steele has been fantastic for us , but in the coming year and...

Doubt we will be trading our future first when they publicly let it be known we are going after Finn Callaghan knowing he is off contract next year so we will need every first round pick we can get.

You don't often get 2 top ten picks so having the chance to pick the best is something you really can't trade away knowing the top end of this draft is class.

Saying we have 2 halfbacks is kind of strange when these draft kids are 18 and have only really started playing the game. It is up to the club to turn them into the best player they can possibly be and where they play on the field will be determined to what suits them and the club. We turned...

Who do you think we will get StC

We also have Keller who could be anything.

Would love to be able to get Draper , but we would be lucky to get him.

It happens at a lot of clubs - the loss of Battle is not great , but he most probably had his reasons. Tim has been one of our best players for so long and to see him delisted would of hurt the same it did Seb Ross. But letting them go for nothing to me is better than seeing them playing at...

Media has it that LDU is likely to stay at North and if he does go it would be to us they say. The Cats are more likely to grab Oliver next season. Star Free agents like LDU very rarely leave to go to another club because the club usually offers them close to what other teams offer. Media has it...

I wouldn't judge the kid on his looks , Clark is a fine example - his demise could be down to high expectations on big coin - media pressure and social media slagging. Some people just can't handle the pressure. It's broken many players with far greater ability. He may well be lazy but I can't...

If Marshall gets a injury it could well be the making of Heath or Keller , the same as when Marshall was thrown into the position when Longer and Hickey had long term injuries. A lot of the time they just need to be given a crack , pretty hard to impress at Sandringham when Campbell was doing...

Do him good to have a year off , will most probably be at Geelong next year with that other North kid that got sacked for domestic violence.

Membery was one of our best players and gave his all , however the club knows they need to bite the bullet and give the younger guys his role - Sharman and Owens have his role now. We have now totally cleaned out our list with Seb Ross and Membery moved on and now it's time for the youth to...

I'm interested where all the delisted players will go - guys like Schache , Wiederman - will they go to VFL clubs or other state's. Even if they are not AFL grade players they will at least lift the standard at Sandringham , well hopefully. Will will be able to judge after a couple years - but...

It will not be good to start off with for sure , but let's hope the idea works - a lot of delisted players could well make there way to the Zebras.

They have stand alone teams we have attached ourselves to Sandringham and we need to improve the standard of players at Sandringham to help development of our kids we draft. If management thinks bringing a guy from Sandringham into our list of 44 might entice talent to the club to Sandringham -...

What the club is attempting to lure more talent to improve Sandringham , at least they are trying something. We have carried more than one spud on our list before.

We have many players on our list in the past that were well below AFL standard and if they think one spot on a list of 44 will entice better talent to Sandringham well and good. Who knows the guy that gets the spot might become a player.

Don't get the worry about one list spot , we have a lot of players out with injury the whole year or just about - and if that list spot encourages better players to the Sandringham well and good.

This is what so exciting about our squad we have so much talent on the list anyone of these kids could become anything.

We can dream but Zac was on borderline of being let go. Macrae has a history of being sound and in 11 seasons of AFL has never played less than 19 games a year and the difference of age between Jones and Macrae is 7 mths and soft tissue injuries don't improve when you get older --- however...

Injury has ruined his career and never been able to show consistency 2024 - 13 games / 5 as sub 2023 - 4 games 2022 - 13 games 2021 - 13 games He is tough and gives his all and the reason he was given another year , but turning 30 next yr with his past history I doubt we will see more than a...

Stocker is a great tackler , he hits them hard and don't break his tackles easy - however he hasn't the speed required to really guard the smaller forwards , to me his best option is as a inside mid - but he will need to really show his best this year or he could well be gone with so many kids...

Stocker could easily transform to a different player - we all know Lyon wanted Steele to drop weight when he comeback as coach , a would bet at his exist meeting they would of said he needed to increase his tank and dropping the weight would help that. He is well settled at the club now and...

Yeah so many uncertainties , will Lyon turn one of the kids into one , who knows - We all know Webster is at the age where he could crater.

Picking our best 22 atm is a tough one due to how the players comeback in the new season and who gets given certain roles we need filled. Whatever happens Macrae is going to make our midfield better , he is a ball winner. Will they give players different roles , will Owens be given a run in the...

I was not a big fan , thought he was brought in to fill a gap in the list however played just about the whole season - that being said it would of surprised him he wasn't offered a new contract due to the reason he played so many games. However really the halfback position is one position a host...

Crouch has a year left on his contract and would be crazy if he doesn't stay to collect - it will be up to the club to pay him out , but they could be hoping he comes good - Roo played for years with a knee problem

They finally got him settled playing forward after being used to cover in other positions - fully expect him to go from strength to strength.

One list spot will not hurt and hopefully it will inspire a few better players to Sandringham. Anyway any news on Crouch , Hayes , Paton and Membery - are they all staying
