Unknown as we have only delisted/retired 4 players so far. Today should be a delisting day.

Could be he's just carrying too much weight?
May strip the weight off he finds pace and endurance.
Maybe he shouldn't be 100 kg.
95 kg you can find pace and endurance?
There's plenty to like.

If they're not F/S there's better that aren't going to get a chance.

I’d be surprised to see us taking another small forward……. We took 2 last draft … Anastasopoulos and Charleson, We traded for another one ….. Jack Richards and we have Rioli, Evans and McEntee ….. not to forget we have the opportunity to draft our NGA small forward/midfielder Benny Barrett.

Couldn't imagine we would let Kako slip past. We'd definitely nominate him. Be really surprised if our number wasn't 16.
Half a game of football. 3 goals. I wasnt that excited by Armstrong. He's a nice kick.
I'd jump for joy if we got the Flying Viking.

Given that we will likely delist 2 or all 3 of Frankie Evans, Narkle and McEntee I think Berry would be a great get. Charleson also has not shown enough at this stage. Elite small forwards were the key to the last two premiers' success and apart from Rioli none of our small forwards are remotely at that level yet.
I want at least two of our draft picks to be used on a mid and a small-mid forward who both kick goals. We need quality and depth in both positions. That doesn't include bringing in Barrett.
While we have plenty of small forwards on our list already, there is not much quality in that area.
McEntee, Narkle, F.Evans are not AFL quality small forwards. DBJ did a great job last year but we shouldn’t plan for him to be a small forward- he’s just a utility we had to use in that role. He could be a very good sub moving forward as he can play anywhere.
Charleston and Anastasopolous showed glimpses but there is still a big question on whether they will make it.
The modern game needs quality small forwards who apply forward pressure AND kick goals- Lohmann, Ah Chee and Cameron won Brisbane the GF.
Therefore, our highest need is a quality small forward. Berry fits the bill and Hotton could play the role and graduate to the midfield in time- ala Rozee and Buttrrs. That is how we should use #13.

Unlikely to delist McEntee as he is under contract… as is Rioli, DBJ, Anastasopoulos and Charleson…… Narkle has been delisted, Evans could be delisted…… but we have already recruited Richards and highly likely to pick up Barrett. Remember Berry is only 18 and hasn’t yet played senior football, where Tommy A has had one year in the system and was close to selection a number of times last season. Bottom line is, I don’t think the Club would want 7 small forwards on their list at this time. I would think with the looming retirement of Boak next year , on top of losing Duursma and Amon in recent years we’re in need of a genuine quick classy wingman. A high quality outside mid …. my choice would be Taj Hotton…..

Genuinely think we are over indexed in a role we shouldn’t be ‘over invested’ in. Rioli, DBJ, SPP, Richards, Tommy A, Narkle, Evans, McIntee, Charleson, Benny Barrett, Mead, arguably Rozee. We may cut 3 or 4 of these lads, Narkle, Evans, McIntee and Charleson, but bar Barrett we shouldn’t be looking to pop any more on the list at present.
The same way we are over stocked for Half Backs, we seem to draft many of Flankers expecting them to become the next Nat Fyfe, but never ‘transition’ them into the midfield, or when we do - lose patience as we did with Burgman this year.
We need more midfielders, the ‘kids’ can do an apprenticeship as a Half Forward/Small Forward or Small Defender in the Twos, or seniors if they are up to it, similar to Mead this year. Possibly as Sinn was doing this year?
I would be cutting Narkle, F.Evans, McIntee and Clurey, grabbing best Midfielder at 13-16 hopefully Hotton, best talent at 29 maybe Urquhart/Jaques, Gerreyn at 36 and no bid on Barrett so, Hargrave/Bowman at 50. Hopefully rookie list Burgoyne and Monty may train on?
Ideally, Hotton, Urquhart, Gerreyn, Hargrave, Barrett Cat B and Burgoyne Rookie.

Could be.
He's got a fiery streak too if you mess with him.
I think his body could really hulk up. He just has that type of frame.
I think if we pick him up it's primarily as a ruck but you never know.

With only BZT, Ratogolea, Aliir (30 years old) and Walsh as KPD now it’s a good chance we take a KPD.
Hopefully we just go best available at 13 like Hotton and KPD like Whitlock at 29.

Please neither of the Whitlocks
Quite similar to mine but Urquhart and Gerryne will be available at 36 and 50 (which will become 43). So I've gone Hotton, Hannaford or Dattoli, Urquhart, Gerryne, Barrett. If we don't get Hannaford and Dattoli I'd be open to trading out into next year and also grabbing pick 50 or something in this year's to take Murphy/Day-Wicks or Bowman

NOAH HOWES (South Adelaide) Key forward, 18, 196cm
“Noah’s a key forward who has got a lot stronger and bigger over the past eight months or so and is playing some good league footy after finally overcoming some injury issues. He kicked five goals for us as a 16-year-old in an under-18s game against the Eagles and then as a 17-year-old he was nominated as an over-ager for the State under-16 team before suffering stress fractures in his back and missing the rest of the season. Then last year he kicked seven goals in two weeks before breaking his collarbone and missing a fair chunk of the season. Noah got back just before the under-18 finals and had six shots at goal (kicking 3.3) in our grand final win against Sturt. It might feel like he’s come from nowhere this year but it’s just a case of him finally getting a good run at it and having a big pre-season with our senior team. He has a lot of good qualities and upside.’’ – South talent manager and under-18s coach Mark Clayton.
CHARLIE NICHOLLS (Central District/Faith Lutheran College) Key forward, 17, 197cm
“He’s a nice, developing key forward who can also play down back if required. Charlie is a good lead-up forward who is improving his contested marking every week. He’s a super easy person to coach, which was emphasised by the fact we asked him to focus on taking more contested marks (in Round 4 against West Adelaide) and he went and took six of them, which was great. He took 13 marks and had 22 disposals for the game while also kicking three goals, which was a terrific effort. He leads the comp in contested marks and has a super high work-rate, giving him the ability to get up and down the ground. There’s a bit of (Geelong star) Jeremy Cameron in the way he plays.’’ – Central Centre of Excellence and under-18s coach Kyle Jenner.
JAY POLKINGHORNE (Norwood/Prince Alfred College) Key forward, 17, 192cm
“Jay hails from Penong on the Nullarbor Plain and has just resumed playing after a minor knee injury. He has great weaponry, including being an exceptional overhead and contested mark. He reads the play really well and is one of the best set shot goalkickers I have seen. He has a beautiful action all the way down to the sound off the boot. He reminds me a little bit of (Adelaide’s) Taylor Walker with the way he kicks the footy. Jay is a player who has generated a fair bit of interest based on what he did last year and is one who ticks all the boxes as far as being an agile key forward is concerned. While he kicks the ball like Walker, as a player he reminds me more of (Carlton’s) Charlie Curnow.’’ – Norwood under-18 coach Alex Newell.
HARRY RAMM (Glenelg/Sacred Heart College) Key defender, 17, 199cm
“Harry’s a key back who has some really good traits. He’s very tall for a key back and defends really well but he also has the ability to come off his opponent and intercept mark. He’ll build strength as he gets into his gym craft but he already can hold his own in one-on-one contests. He also has some really good running ability and a pretty big tank for a big fella.’’ – Glenelg under-18s coach Ben Kane.
TALLAN ROSENZWEIG (Central District/Faith Lutheran College) Key forward, 17, 197cm
“He’s the same height as Charlie (Nicholls) but he plays a bit deeper as a key forward. He’s very good on the lead, possessing really good leading patterns, and manages to get plenty of shots on goal for us. Tallan needs to tidy up his goalkicking accuracy a bit because he had eight scoring shots against North Adelaide in Round 2 and kicked 4.4. He also booted 2.3 in the next two games against Sturt and West Adelaide, so he needs to capitalise on his opportunities a bit more. But he is developing well and can also take a strong contested mark.’’ – Central Centre of Excellence and under-18s coach Kyle Jenner.
JACOB SHEEAN (South Adelaide) Key defender, 18, 197cm
“Jacob is our under-18 captain and has very good leadership qualities. He’s a rangy, key defender who kicks the ball very well for someone of his size. He usually gets the job on one of the opposition’s bigger forwards and he reads the play well. Jacob’s very likeable and works really hard. He had stress fractures in his back over pre-season and didn’t do a lot of training before Christmas but he’s worked hard since to get himself back into good physical shape.’’ – South talent manager and under-18s coach Mark Clayton.
CHARLIE WEST (Woodville-West Torrens/Immanuel College) Key forward/ruck, 18, 195cm
“Charlie’s contested marking is his greatest weapon. He took 42 marks, including 20 contested, in six games as a bottom-ager at under-18 level last season, which highlights his marking ability. At his SANFL testing in February, he ran the 20m sprint in 2.9 seconds, which shows he has genuine speed for his size as well. He is the grandson of Wayne Jackson (former Eagles player and president and AFL chief executive) and is very much in contention for this year’s draft pool. He was an emergency for our league team in Round 1 but is carrying a bit of a groin injury at the moment. Charlie has massive upside.’’ – Eagles under-18 coach Shane Reardon.

Are we only allowed to draft people from SA?
Imagine if we got a trio of WA players. Urquhart, Gerryne and Clancy Dennis
