I get that many of you folks are disappointed with the way the Papley & Martin stuff has played out, but IMHO I reckon it's a blessing in disguise, as the list isn't quite ready to switch in to top up mode yet.
There's a very promising young ruckman in this years draft, a small forward, and a couple of quality defenders, who are all tipped to be around both of your picks.

A little odd about Deluca, tbh.. why would we only give him half a season? Really could of had a big 2020 with a good pre-season, etc..

Stiff, but assume the club knows what they are doing. Hope he gets re-rookied.
This would suggest, that may be a possibility..
I guess we have one free rookie spot now.

I actually kind of agree, I would have preferred Papley over pick 9, but it isn't the end the end of the world either.
As for pick 9, I can't see us using it on Luke Jackson, since we seem to rate TDK as our ruck of the future going forward, and the only defender I'd be keen on in Lachie Ash, but I'd be surprised if he made it to our pick.

Deluca a bit stiff.
To be honest I don't think he showed overly much. He was okay at senior level but nothing to show he could be a long term player.
Just very stiff to ask a bloke to drop everything. Uproot his life. Move to the otherside of the country.. only to chop him at the end of the year.
Maybe these mid season picks should be a guaranteed 18 month contract?

Yeah, it's kind of odd really....not sure why he would still be training with the club
Sounds like the club may have an eye on re-listing him depending on who is available in the ND and RD. I thought he could have been a good foot soldier in the midfield next season....definitely aint a specialist forward where they played him this year.

If we don't re rookie him, it certainly has.
$50K contract and if not renewed they get a further $20K.
Yep, believe it should have been used to draft in advance for a youngster, or you need to foresee the mature state leaguer (I.e. apparent interest in Sokol now, Riccardi or from our own backyard in Anderson, Fisher).

I have been thinking for a while and I reckon that each team should have a seconds team who plays curtain raisers.
Total list size should be 55 (2.5 teams).
Players who can't make the seconds team can play in an affiliate VFL size.
The last 11 can be rookies if you like, only able to play AFL as LTI replacements.
Would certainly give a lot more second tier guns a chance to make the breakthrough

Not happy with us delisting DeLuca
Hopefully we can Re-rookie him later on

We're blessed with blessings in disguise.
Seemingly the more that doesn't come our way, the luckier we happen to be: Tomlinson, Shiel, Papley etc
Papley wasn't to be this time around but people are fooling themselves if they feel that we're better off without him.
So 11 off the list to date (Bugg included which shouldn't really come into play) and now only Lang left hanging.
I still feel we cut off too many too soon. We must be confident in sizing-up with whoever we take via DFA's and drafts. We'll see.
Will be interesting to see how we go about things, as it does appear there’s a plan to fill the spots as desired (minus 2 targets in Coniglio & Papley already).
34 senior (35 with Martin, 36 with Newnes, 37 if we end up going for Sam Gray)
3 rookies
Will we keep a spot again for either supplementary draft > mid-season (may have learnt from that one)?

I agree that the pick was wasted, but I also agree with the delisting. He didnt really show a lot in the games he played, regardless of whether he was out of position or not.

Whoa - the massive list turn over continues
How many this year? 11?
At the start of 2019, who would have thought 11 players to be turned over by year's end?

Hi, yes, hello
Still got interest in Ben Keays?
Delisted today, though there was thought that he was heading GCFC way.
Beside the point, really.

I think that Deluca getting the chop directly relates to us probably picking up Sam Gray as a DFA.
