Ya kidding?
Bergman is two years younger and 10kg lighter and he has already shown more than Perez. Provides better kicking, more run and carry and is a far better decision maker ball in hand.

Thomas - Stays as we wouldn't get fair value.
Goldstein - Stays
Greenwood - Stays - 1 year rookie deal
Lazzaro - Stays/Trade - Contracted for one more year.
CCJ - Stays/Trade - Contracted for two more years.
Free - Stays
Drury - Stays - has shown enough as a rookie
Shiels - Stays - leadership is invaluable
Dawson - Stays - 1 year rookie deal - mainly because there is a severe lack of talls in this years draft.
McKay - Gone - Free Agency
Mahoney - Gone - Limited footballer
Turner - Gone - Limited footballer
Edwards - Gone
Howe - Gone - limited footballer
Bonar - Gone - Injury Prone
Young - Gone - Limited footballer
Spicer - Gone
Perez - Gone - Plenty of state league half backs that could contribute more than him.
Hall - Retired
Ziebell - Retired
Cunnington - Retired
That's 12 that have either been retired or delisted, think that's more than enough list changes in one year. Hopefully with the rookie list we look at taking some mature state league players in that 22-26 age bracket who would be desperate for an opportunity at AFL level.

There’s plenty of decent players in the state leagues that can actually football.
Agree with everything - can’t keep limit players in hope they might change
This has been a bug bear for me for a long period of time. There is no way a limited footballer like Kayne Turner would've lasted as long on Richmond or Geelong's list.

Completely agree. It's been an entrenched part of North Melbourne from the Brad Scott / Cam Joyce era, hopefully we're finally leaving that behind.

I think Drury is getting overvalued on this board.
I'd have made a case for giving Spicer longer to develop but seems most likely he's gone.

If Spicer had been able to add some bulk in his time with us, I think he would've developed into a really good pressure forward.
Got into good positions to lay tackles, but didn't have sufficient size to impact.
Isnt Greenwood already extended.
I'd be inclined to keep Spicer. Haven't seen much VFL but I thought he was showing definite improvement

I'd prefer to have almost anyone on the list tbh.
When will they announce delistings?
If there was still any doubt, confirmation that Free is signed for 2024 - AFL off-season injury update: Roo recovering from leg crack

Officially after the Best & Fairest (16th Sept) is my guess, I suspect on the night of the B&F news will start filtering out as to who has been delisted.

you need an IQ of 3 to drive a bus, I was informed of that at school. Jokes was on them when I roared home with 17!
But alas Benny couldn't quite find first gear.
3 for Magoo is the best ever news and if it happens, we're ****ing cooking with gas, unless your home is yet to be built as Dan won't let you.
Please let it be true, and Sanders and then that is all.
We've won everything that could be won.
By 2025 we'll have many a footballer desperate to board the bus of hope.

I actually think bus driver is a way underrated job.
Try being a bus driver in Melbourne. Shit traffic, heaps of dickhead patrons (depending on route), constant roadworks, accidents, idiots in bus lanes etc to **** up your timetables.
If you stuff up your work you can ruin everyone's schedule or even endanger their lives.
These guys who should be up there with neurosurgeons and university facility managers in the pecking order.

Oh I would never besmirch a *BJ.
* Bus Job - bloody tough gig we can agree.
Oh FM Uni Mangers, once you set it up the rest is easy, just I feel my sense of humor doesn't equate to their requirements. I am shocked just like you.
But I'm in the lift industry now and trying to make a difference, feels like I'm pissing into the wind.

Lol yes well that be true. Sometimes they don’t move for weeks which was a surprising thing to learn

Be careful out there... like the mafia or eh, the deep south sometimes in the lift industry - everyone is related to everyone else.
