Hamling is a better forward than Francis based on this year. Francis made VFL team of the year in defence and was better than Mitchell who won our VFL player of the year.
Only if we draft a KPF and we drop a KPF from seniors would we change anything imo.
We might find we don't rush one of Francis or Hamling back from being travelling emergency in some games, if we're well stocked for KPPs in the VFL.

I suspect the hamling deal is a move to free up cash to add to Warner offer. 50% of his salary will be outside the cap now

I think someone earlier in the thread was saying between 4-6 in the main draft. And between 0-2 in the rookie draft (excluding Francis/ Hamling)

I know we want to give chances to academy players, but if we were serious, we'd be turning over 75% of the rookie list each and every year. We need to use it as it was intended
I'm hoping the move is for a DFA. Either Brandan Parfitt or Ash Johnson to give some more pressure in the forward line.

Is that a thing? Wouldn't you want your star players on Rookie spots if they were the case?

The Ash Johnson who averages 1.7 tackles a game and is 193cm i.e. a undersized tall forward?
Stengle isn't a DFA

Take a swing at a need complete waste of time this mind you least we can delist next year
We need another medium tall anyway. Hayward is the only one we've got.The Ash Johnson who averages 1.7 tackles a game and is 193cm i.e. a undersized tall forward?

You mean the guy that has the 12th worst disposal efficiency for non KP players? Adding to that he is the 5th worst ball user by foot for non KP players?
Not at all enthusiastic about DLFAs. They're delisted for a reason or reasons. Effectively they're a free trade and I've said forever that you trade to improve and draft for the future. Every now and again one works but most end up back on the trash heap. Nope, nope, nope.

Thank you for realising that we need a medium forward but Johnson is 27 can't mark to save him self and 193cm is not a medium. Might as well try Francis there as he is the same height and would probably do better than Johnson. Medium talls are 183-190cm.
Johnson was second worst for efficiency of ball use from Key Forwards in 2024. Can't mark and can't tackle and is a key forward as well

Same don't think we are in a spot to take a chance with youngsters e.g. Oli Hotton and think that a lot of the experienced DFAs are horrific ball users and part of that old brand of footy especially the midfielders that has changed in the last decade

Would cost nothing and one thing Ash does he kicks goals want to name our key forward that will do that?

Whats worse 3 KPFs + Parker or 4 KPFs?

He's not a key forward and we could replace MCLean as Ash can ruck a bit. We do need a medium or two it’s hardly the worst idea I’ve heard. In a window he will kick 30 in a year easily.

After the delistings etc.
This is where we are at (although I always defer to Robbieando. He is amazing)
If you look at the Sydney 2024 List you will see we are
Primary List 32
Cat A 2
Cat B 2
Total 36.
We only have 4 ND picks (19,22,44,58). So we can only draft 4 players max. Unless we do some splitting or swapping future picks to draft an additional player.
I reckon we are going for a list makeup of 36 main, two Cat B (Kirk and Edwards)and up to 6 Cat A. The Cat A we have is Hanily and Buller. We have apparently said we will re rookie Francis and Hamling. That is 4 Cat A.
So I reckon we go to the Draft with 4 Main list picks and up to 4 rookie picks(probably 3). We usually like to have one up our sleeve.
Looking at the list we are pretty full. We have signed up our Best 22 column and those unsigned past 25 I reckon we would want to resign (like Warner, Campbell, Melican, Rampe and Fox). Maybe not Rampe but who knows. He is durable.
There are a large number of players in the Depth with contracts expiring in 2025. Those on the main list are Sheldrick, Warner, Cleary, Mitchell and Wicks. Out of all of them we probably want to resign all but 1 or 2.
I reckon we go with 36 main list because we need the list spots for next year when we probably only delist up to 2 players due to the fact that almost everyone is signed up.
That is my take.
