We may not have room in the 2022 salary cap to pay out Seedsman. Note that we're already paying out Brown in the 2022 cap.
So can anyone explain the Turner drafting? Any defence at all?

Absolutely shambolic decision, especially when we were clearly in need of a KPD or ruck at the time.
But no, we just kept playing Doedee sore and undersized on the oppo ruckman and persisted with a struggling ROB, or Strachan who wasn’t up to it.
Then don’t bother playing Turner at all for the remainder of the season, not even a look in to see if he could make any impact at the level.

If we dont have room in this years salary cap to pay out seedsman then that makes Reid and co look even more incompetent… if that is actually possible.

Nope..
Only thing I can think of is they maybe hoped he’d help us win SANFL games..
It bewildering..

A bigger deal out west.
Either we're picking him up as a rookie (expected) or this was purely to try to jag a SANFL flag.

Need to upgrade both Butts and Strachan to the main list.
Strachan can be delisted to open up spot. If nobody else is there in the rookie draft and he’s still available we can re draft.

Unfortunately the AFL only gave us one first rounder this year

And if ROB goes down next year?..
Whos our Ruckman?..
Some unproven 18 year old draftee?.. TT?.. Himmelburg??..
Yeah.. no thanks.
And I’d rather get rid of ROB before strawnie!.
Garbage... given that we're already paying out another senior player (Brown).
The risk is waaaay too high that we'd be gazumped, with another club drafting him before we can re-draft him - as happened to GC with Greenwood. Strachan has shown enough at AFL level to attract the attention of other clubs, and AFL ruckmen don't grow on trees.
Note that our only other rucks are ROB, Berg and TT - so the inability to re-draft him would leave our ruck stocks in a perilous state, to say the least.
Is Brown still contracted?
He was contracted for 2023.
… but if he called the shots on his retirement wouldn’t that cancel out his contract

That's my only issue with Rowe going. I'm not upset he's gone, I'm upset the others are still there. Murphy at least showed he can pinch hit in the midfield. I'm still at a complete loss as to what we think McHenry is going to become.
Rowe unfortunately a long way down the pecking order now though with Rachele and Rankine.

I think our current situation requires a Spackler transcript Drugs Are Bad Mackay?
I’d love to be a fly on the wall if Roo, Reid and Kelly were asked to explain our plans to the board. This is my half arsed attempt.
“We don’t have list spots, so we are going to have to delist a player and put them on the rookie list”
“That means someone might pick them up right if they are any good?”
“Well we plan on doing it to Seeds, no one will want him”
“What you mean the guy who suffered concussion whilst employed by us and has been dealing with it all year? You want to do that to him?”
“Ok Strachan then”
“But we don’t have a back up ruck. Plus I’m a little confused, why don’t we have list spots?”
“Most of our squad is contracted”
“So this has been your strategy all along? Delist a contracted player and move them to the rookie list? What was the strategy if we got Hopper, JHF or another decent player?”
“No we were hoping someone would take one of our contracted players we didn’t want. As for those players, get real, we can only focus on one player at a time and we were busy with Rankine arguing about a late pick swap”
“Oh that’s reassuring, why didn’t anyone want our contracted players”
“They aren’t very good, no one wanted them”
“But you thought they were good enough to give a contract to beyond this year?”
“Ummm yep, but on the bright side we won’t have this problem next year, we have lots of players out of contract”
“Oh that’s a positive, so you’ve got average players we can delist, lucky none of the good ones will be out of contract, give me some names”
“Well Fog is on the list, but he’s only had half a decent season”
Olsen “So in summary, we’ve got no list spots, meaning we have to delist a player. You relied on a club wanting our duds you rated enough to give contracts too. You’ve left one of our hottest properties uncontracted at the end of next year and you can’t manage going for more than one recruit at a time.
You clowns are ****ing useless, get me Jason Cripps”

Nah, we didn’t have the list spot to take someone like Charmichael and we fought we’d move players on, we couldn’t, so we are hamstrung.
soften the blow for rowe before re-rookieing turner?
