Yeah especially the team selection bit. Ramsay should have played a few. !

Perhaps? I thought he was quite promising in the VFL and very young.

Making it was probably the wrong term as he’s played in the league, therefore has made it. I meant long term on our list as a viable player in a finals side
If he had’ve been thought of in this way, he’d have been given a contract. I doubt he makes it onto another list either which would say a bit
Really nice guy by the looks of it and loved by his teammates, so I wish him well. Be great if we could sign him up for the twos…

Would/Should we consider Tyson Stengel at pick 25?? Or are we happy with Owies/Honey/Durdin as our small fwd options?

AFL Trade Period: How Adam Cerra's arrival rounds out the centre square at Carlton
Adam Cerra will call Princes Park home after he got his wish of a trade from Fremantle to Carlton. Just how much will his inclusion help the Blues midfield depth?

Stengle is available now as a free agent. There's obviously no way we'd consider using a draft pick on him, let alone a 2nd round pick.
Yeah, not sure if Fisher counts, I like Fish but he plays up the ground more than a traditional crumbing small forward. Owies kicked goals with limited Opportunity and delivered when the team didn't. I found him more reliable as a pure goalkicker than Fish.

Gee I reckon we have had a great trade period. I’m as bouyant as I’ve ever been and can’t wait for the lads to meet and crack in as a team under Voss and his crew .

Geelong are going after him and I think Eddie's appointment has a lot to do with it as he'll be mentoring him (related also).
Could happen I guess, but there is competition for spots there too... we will keep 6 Category A rookies, and we know two of those will be Mirkov and Honey, as they are contracted. Kennedy is obviously contracted too, but with our 2021 National Draft picks headed south during this trade period, I would imagine we'll use 82 to upgrade Kennedy to the Senior list.
Assuming the above, there are 4 Cat A spots left (remembering Owies is Cat B), and if Ramsay and Gibbons are candidates, they go into the mix with the uncontracted Parks, Boyd, Cottrell, McDonald and (I suspect) LOB. Plus anyone "new" that we might be interested in looking at for Cat A.
Edit: Ignore this post, read the one above mine
I read it anyway. Coz I’m fascinated by this stuff.

Why? Gibbons is limited and we have more than enough small forward/mid types.
Cottrell is a winger or a half back and we need more of both.
If we can find someone to take Setterfield for nothing (unless whatever bothered him is magically fixed) or Fisher for something decent, I'd not be averse. Need to move on from some of these guys, which is why Ramsay being punted annoys me.
Stevie Wonder walks into a dinnerware shop and begins smashing all of the plates of the shelf with his cane. The shop assistant runs up and asks if they can be of any assistance and Stevie replies, "No thanks, just browsing!"
Subjective isn't it, if it was Cotts, Fog, Owies that were delisted due to being OOC, or not a free hit sitting outside the main list, would any of them be picked up? I doubt it. Similar yeah?
If SPS was thought of in that way, he too would have been offered a contract?
Not hard to understand

Also provides more pressure all over the ground.
When was the last time Fisher made a goal saving tackle?
I'm constantly surprised at how puny Dow is in the upper body. He does have strong legs and hips, but there's not enough mass and little will to tackle.
Hence, Fisher being more valuable due to versatility. Gibbo in the same role, first 3 games, as Owies, evidence is clear as to output.
Anyway, more important issues than discussing footsoilders

Blind man walks into a shop and swings his service dog around his head.
Shopkeeper asks if he needs assistance and the blind man answers: "No thanks, just looking"
It's a good sign when we start delisting players that have some ability..usually we have plenty to delist at this time of year..spots will have to be fought for, not just given to a player with a bit of a profile.
something we have needed for a long time.

that's the reality.
Perhaps he was never given enough opportunity to ply his trade as an inside mid? I think he was wasted in that high half forward role.
Likewise Samo in his natural spot, but the cards have been dealt.
Agree that a few others should have been cut first, but a few more must be cut so the order is really irrelevant?

You’re the one bringing up other names, I’m concentrating on what I think Gibbons' ability was and that’s not quite at the level to be a good AFL footballer IMO. As will be evidenced by him not being picked up elsewhere and the fact he was overlooked for years
If he had a 12 month contract then I’d be fine with him staying, like Fogarty. If his performance level stayed the same then I’d just delist him next season instead
Point is, long term, he wasn’t of the standard to be a keeper unfortunately, same with the other blokes you mentioned (I still have hope for Owies but that’s a personal preference)
*SPS still had trade value, Gibbons was delisted, bit of a difference there
He'll be electric with Cerra ... AC DC

Something SOS failed to identify in the first place. Drafting Carrol and Boyd gives me confidence Austin places priority on work ethic and being strong around the hips rather than being flashy with no substance.
