Obviously let’s see what happens.
But for the reasons you mentioned they also feel similar (being a solid footballer)
Also worth noting.
Under the Ross defensive zone. It’s about playing your role. You don’t need to recruit stars to improve us defensively.
still interested to hear what happens with Dmac.

Talk about over complicating a process - why don't they just say the final date for de-listing players is Wednesday and the final date for signing de-listed players is Friday.

The list management are pretty clearly positioning for a couple of years of development.
Retaining the likes of Jones, Dmac, Clark whilst looking at place fillers like Mannagh and maybe Stewart.
Next year Doogs contract is up and Battle a free agent. Something's gonna change.
Are they looking at Mannagh and Stewart? I thought that was just people on big footy made up.
I like the idea of Ess paying some of a St Kilda players salary after the drawn out nonsense with Gresham.
Plus, it slightly offsets the losses from paying some of Billings wages
Someone already said that they wouldn't be, which is correct IMO.
Depends who you want to believe l guess..

Mason Wood was like Jack Billings. Showed patches that made you believe then got injured or his form went south.
Stewart was probably a bit unlucky not to have settled at the right club. At GWS he was a promising player who couldn't quite find a permanent role.
You don't have to deal with Essendon at all to pick up a delisted player. Cutting off players because they have been associated with a club you don't like sounds like madness.

About time we drafted a decent key defender instead of trading away good picks or giving delisted average players a go. Our strike rate isn’t great.
Claverino
Adams
Van Es (Haven’t written him off yet)
Who was our last wuality key defender we drafted? And Battle was drafted as a forward and the jury is still out there.

With me yep 100%. He was pretty consistent this year, but he’s a long way off the elite defenders in the league imo. And he’s been in the system for 7 years now with no major injury setbacks.
The failure natural rate on KPD's is very high now due to forwards moving back. All of doogs, Batts and Cordy went that way and the shift to attacking CHBs has been a big part of it too.
We also haven't thrown much quality investment at it either.
Clavarino was disapointing.
Was rated highly by some, but looking at this, there were plenty of question marks.
Oscar Clavarino Draft Profile
DRAFT ANALYSIS: "Oscar Clavarino is a rebounding defender who fills the hole in defence well. He is good overhead and has good skills over short distances, but has question marks over his confidence."

Van Es had a much better blurb before the draft.

You don't need three elite tall defenders and he's more than solid. He's above average in everything but spoils. If you have 22 players at an above average level by position, you're a very good side.

Not bad but I reckon Windhager ended the year miles ahead of Clark and Byrnes, so I'm going to be the first goon to pipe-up. Our VFL squad looks like it should improve especially if we get a good injury run.

I hate you.
The only genuine WTF list spot for me is Allison, on the basis of those squads.
Just way off it too often for me.

Totally agree he is way off being an AFL player and believe if Gallagher hadn't of given him a ridiculous contract, he would be one of the first delisted this year.
Fully expect Owens to be ahead of Dow in the pecking order , Membery to me is doubtful - having Hayes , Cammaniti and even Keeler is going to make getting a spot in the teams forward line hard.
Phillipou , King , Higgins , Butler , Sharman to me are 5 of the 6 starters - and I feel Hayes has the ability to fill that CHF spot better than anyone.
Hope Membery proves me wrong because Membery at his best is in our best 22.
Our forward line will also have the mids rotating there so players like Owens , Dow , Windhager , Phillipou could all be spending time in there.
Hated our 2020 draft.
Players we shoved out the door.
Ed Phillips, a young mid, who had recently been playing the thankless pressure forward role. Good enough for depth back then.
Shane Savage
Logan Austin.
Jonathan Marsh.
Parker
Players we got in.
Alison
Highmore
McKernan
Frawley
Lol when you sack Ryan Abbot to get Paul Hunter, you know its more jerking off than drafting.
2 of the top list were shoved out the door so we could get McKernan and Frawley.

You have also conveniently left off Crouch and Higgins from the 'In' list, who are both some of the best ins we've got into the club for years and overall, cost us little.
Could also add in Wood as a picked up in the same off season and has done more with the list spot than anyone in the 'outs' expect Savage. And even then, we haven't had an issue at half back with Sinclair moving there and becoming the best in the comp at it so while he might have been stiff to miss out, it didn't cost us either.

You can also add Sharman and Heath from the mid season draft.
Allison might turn out to be a bust he's the type of prospect where clubs see the potential of a greater upside than other more well performed players.
We obviously had an eye on him and the fact that we picked him at 26 when out next pick was 45 meant that other clubs clearly were interested as well.
