I'd be disappointed if we did that.

Yeah pretty much this. I doubt either of these players gets delisted though. Crows have never been ruthless.
Wright probably won't be delisted but he shouldn't be given anything over a 1 year contract. Break glass in case of emergency type player.
Van Berlo also probably won't be delisted but he's been nothing short of terrible this season. He's very lucky to be at a side that has a knack for playing guys one year past their used-by date.
Thompson is still too useful to the team to be retiring but I wish we would make him more part-time and get a young player in their learning that position.

If he's delisted someone in our recruiting team should be shot. He will be a quality player and needs a good preseason and run of form. Osborn more likely to make way.
I think we'll make 4 changes.
Reilly + Pods - retirement
Siggins + 1more (Martin/Wright)
Then we have rd 1 and 2 pick and upgrade both O'Brien and Kelly.
(Next year Thommo and VB to retire)
Still, hard to predict since we are getting a new coach, and the Danger situation.

A very big no to Grigg and Mcgovern, and it is very rare for first year players to be delisted (unless they're on the rookie list) as they have an initial two year contract, I don't even understand why we would won't to delist him anyway.
Can't trade VB he might be past his prime but great clubs look after their own. What club trades their former captain. Can become depth or retire in my opinion.
Didn't Geelong trade Steven King, a former Captain just before they won all their Premierships ?

Yep, surely no chance of delisting McGovern…he's got AFL talent for sure

Was Chris Judd captain at the WCE when traded??
McGovern isn't going anywhere. He was drafted as a long term prospect, and he's shown a bit at SANFL level this year with a few bags of 4.

yep good for them but I want my team to move away from Smarts/Triggs idea of being a business and become a club that respects its previous leaders and players. I like that we got Matt crouch cos of the Vince deal but I still didn't want it to occur.

Griffen wanted to go first though, did he not?
Surely we can trade him for pick 70 or something?
Delisted:
Siggins, just hasnt shown anything.
Martin, tries hard but has been there long enough.
Osborn, isnt good enough.
Lowden, ''
Retire:
Vb, past his best no longer best 22.
Jpod, been solid but is ready for retirement.
Reilly, terrible injury.
Trade:
Kerridge, get value for him if hes not in our best 22.
Wright, trade him for a low pick and bring in a kid that can kick over 35m.
Shaw, too injury prone and cant hit the side of a barn.
Henderson, weak at the contest, provides run and carry + versatility. We need to replace him with a player like yarran.
Mackay, can we trade a player that has 2 years left on his contract?

Before we delist half the squad, isn't it a shallow draft?
Totally agree, we'll only draft like 2 players at most. Unless we trade in a heap, the retiring of Pods and Reilly leave those two spots straight off the bat. Martin is a bloody good and cheap hole filler. He's the perfect guy to bring in for a few weeks when someone's injured. ATM we are looking great health wise as stated by Campo today. If we start getting a few guys out we need Martin and Wright there as solid guys.
I've got more chance of being rookie listed than McGovern getting the chop and I haven't played a competitive game in 10 years.
Siggins, Osborne, Reilly, pods and Martin all gone. Kelly and Rob upgraded with 3 live picks in the draft.

It's reported to be a shallow draft, so they probably won't want to go in with more than 2-3 live selections. We know that Kelly & O'Brien will be upgraded, so we're probably looking at 4-5 players being delisted. Maybe more, depending on the outcome of trade week - but I'll leave that speculation for another thread.
Radar & JPod are either already retired, or as good as. That leaves 2-3 more changes.
Players most likely to be in the gun (in my opinion), in order, are:

Players most likely to be in the gun (in my opinion), in order, are:
- Martin
- Siggins
- Shaw
- McGovern is safe as houses. There is not a snowball's chance in Hell that he'll be delisted after just 1 year on the list. I know they did it once, years ago, but it's not going to happen to McGovern.
- Lowden, VB & Mackay are all contracted for 2016 (as is McGovern). I know half of BigFooty would like to see them gone (particularly the latter pair), but the chances of this happening are very close to zero.
- Wright, Kerridge and Grigg are all out of contract this year and it's not inconceivable for any of them to discover themselves in the exit lounge. All are mediocre players with a limited future at AFL level. Wright probably offers most as a depth player, but Grigg & Kerridge are younger. I don't expect either to be gone, but it's a definite possibility if they need to clear some more positions on the list. Those who do survive will probably find themselves being offered only 1-year contracts.
- Otten hasn't been named by anyone else, but I think there's a slim chance of him disappearing. It would be harsh to delist him just after he returns from a knee injury, but the odds on him making it back to AFL level would have to be fairly long this time around.

Osborn is on the rookie list, so delisting him does not generate a live pick in the National Draft. Actually, as a Category B rookie, delisting him doesn't even generate a live pick in the rookie draft either.
Good call...add vb to that list then. Wishful thinking
