I'd take a huge risk and delist Crouch & attempt to rookie him ......we just have to hope & pray, a Club doesn't snatch him from under our nosesIf someone gazumps us on Strachan, then we'd need to find another ruckman with one of our 2x ND picks, or our only RD pick. If there are worse options than letting Strachan go, then I don't want to think about what they are. It's a terrible idea.
Winning a sanfl best and fairest just means your not good enough for the ones.Can’t see us delisting Strachan, he’s won the bnf 2 years in a row.
Not really his fault the coaches are wedded to ROB.
I think the fanbase opinion of Murphy and McHenry and Nicks opinion on them are at opposite ends.Murphy and McHenry suck just as much as Rowe (for different reasons) but we were dumb enough to sign them up again so Rowe cops it instead.
Lol and what about your respect (or lack there of) to Crouch?He’s a contracted senior player who suffered a shocking injury and deserves some respect. But the point is if Reid didn’t * up the list management, this wouldn’t be a discussion.

So whats the general consensus on Rowe?
Not good enough?
Might be good enough, but played Out of position?
Was good enough
Fans demand goals from small forwards. Nicks doesn't seem to think it matters.I think the fanbase opinion of Murphy and McHenry and Nicks opinion on them are at opposite ends.
I reckon he was much better than expected in his movement downfield, ball getting, and passing.So whats the general consensus on Rowe?

Would be happy if Buckley took over after next year tbh.Murph and McHenry could easily find themselves delisted when their contracts run out too. Nicks might be a goner if he puts out another s**t season and both of those guys will end up having their first meeting with the new coach be their last meeting.
Yes to the outs but I'm not keen on Buckley. The only time Collingwood looked good under him was when he had Longmuir helping him out. Things reverted back to the mean when he left for Freo.Would be happy if Buckley took over after next year tbh.
out: Mchenry, murphy, mcasey, crouch, sholl, sloane
We pumped way too many games into Rowe last year imo given he was gone.
I have nothing against Strachan, he seems like a perfectly serviceable ruckman, but if the club does need to vacate another list spot, then it really wouldn’t be that bigger deal. Again, we’re not having our season derailed if O’Brien goes down. No flags or serious finals pushes are being gambled on here. If O’Brien goes down then TT and Himmelberg are capable of holding down the role adequately for a bottom 8 club. We do not need to waste a draft pick on a backup. We just don’t. Get through this year and have a crack at a ruckman from another club. It’s easily done and happens all the time and won’t cost an arm and a leg. It’s not that bigger deal for next year.If someone gazumps us on Strachan, then we'd need to find another ruckman with one of our 2x ND picks, or our only RD pick. If there are worse options than letting Strachan go, then I don't want to think about what they are. It's a terrible idea.
My guess/hope is it's the "best of a bad situation" type deal. Like they have have traits that he wants for the position, so they get the nod until we find someone better.That why Nicks is in trouble if he continues to play those 2 and we keep losing.
Hopefully Murphy never plays an AFL game again.
Pretty much no chance of either of these statements being true.Murph and McHenry could easily find themselves delisted when their contracts run out too. Nicks might be a goner if he puts out another s**t season and both of those guys will end up having their first meeting with the new coach be their last meeting.
Murph has one more year, McHenry has two so they won't get delisted at the same time. I could easily see Murph going, then McHenry the following year though. If Nicks remains, they're probably safe. He loves talentless players who try hard.Pretty much no chance of either of these statements being true.
Neither will be going at the end of their current contracts.Murph has one more year, McHenry has two so they won't get delisted at the same time.

I am an outlier it seems as i would have him 1000 times out of 1000 ahead of mchenry or murphy. He is a natural footballer with limitations but he has vastly better footskills than the other 2. Its a list f up to have him as the odd one out of those 3 imoSo whats the general consensus on Rowe?

I don't think it will matter in two years. We can only cut so many players every year and replace them with better talents.I am an outlier it seems as i would have him 1000 times out of 1000 ahead of mchenry or murphy.

Spoke to a guy today that told me one of the coaches gave Reid a list of players that were unlikely to have an AFL career. Reid signed all them up. Most on 2-3 year deals.Reid:
