It's actually not that hard these days. The issue is the quality and being good at our selection.
We now have Drafts, FA, Trades, SSP, Rookies, Academies, Overseas etc
We will most likely now be able to trade picks up to two years
The way things are going the Campo kids won't cost a lot. A heap on bundle up late picks. We will most likely keep our forst round pick. We will also chase a FA or two and as last few years have shown we can tarde late picks for quality like we did with Hollands and Acres
So many scenarios to play out and many options. Making 8-10 changes is very possible
IMO we need 5-6 readymade players supported by 3-4 kids
They key (which isn't discussed much) is how quickly Wilson, Binns, Ollie, Lemmey, O'Keefe, Lord, Moir can develop and step up. That will make as big a difference to us as anything else PLUS the return of Docherty & Jack

100%
Player development is the most crucial aspect for us moving forward as it will help us do more with less.
I hope we bring in something like
Campo twins
First round pick
1-2 other picks or rookies
1 x FA
1 x Trade
1 x DFA
1-2 SSPs
Focus on run and Leg Speed and at least one KPD
Early call but I expect Docherty & Jack to be back and names like Cowan Ollie Wilson O'Keefe to be genuine Best 25 players and big improvement in Motlop Cincotta Elijah Boyd Kemp.
I have NO hesitation in delisting Marchbank Cuningham Martin Young Akuei S.Durdin Mirkov M.Carroll Fantasia. I would trade J.Carroll & C.Durdin if any interest

I like it, let’s assume we can continue with Boyd as a rookie and we take the 3 kids at the draft, hopefully a KPD.
Your scenario has us delisting/trading three tall defenders, I think this is unrealistic but if this happens, they need replacing, so add Kolo from your defenders list.
A rookie spot would then need to go to the best key back from across the state leagues.
Don’t offer Martin a contract, unless it’s min wage and one year.
If we can only have one Irish cat B, then so be it, don’t put a player on the rookie list who is miles off the pace, list spots are too tight.
Garcia would be nice

I’d also like our club to be a bit better at cutting our losses early, rather than holding on to players who won’t make the cut.
Not saying any of these won’t, but I’m very sceptical of Binns, Lemmey or Moir, if the coach and LM team think they’ve seen enough, trade them and move on, we hold on to players for far too long.
I'm not convinced on them either but we have many others to go first
We desperately need another back up tall forward and key defender.
Not in love with any of those names but understand we may need to look for a moneyball approach.
Collingwood won a premiership after bringing in Frampton. He's a very average player, but just a big body who can fill a few spots and hopefully just do a job, freeing up other players. That's what we can get.

We can put Duffy on Cat-B, there's no limit on Irish Cat-Bs.

You’d really have no hesitation in delisting a player who is contracted for 2 more years? And another who is contracted for another year?
I think we all need to be realistic.
For the point of discussion, let’s ignore Cat B.
We currently have 8 uncontracted players (5 senior, 3 rookie), and are oversubscribed by 1 player.
There are very few free agents left, and of those who are, they’d be very expensive, or not somebody you’d want to bring in to take a senior list spot. And to the best of my knowledge, we haven’t been linked to any of them.
We have to assume that we won’t be changing our list structure. I’d be pretty surprised if we brought more than 1 FA or traded player onto the senior list. Then Boyd, 2 Campos, probably 1 more ND pick.
This list isn’t up to date.
Just from us, Boyd, Elijah, Corey Durdin and HOK are contracted
I don't think it is worth taking more than 3 picks in the draft (assuming you haven't gained extra picks in the first 3 rounds). Invite 3 or 4 down to train over the summer and pick the best of them once you get a better look.
I wonder what Bolts thought after the first training session with Fin Odwyer. Was finally playing some decent VFL footy 6 years after being drafted. What late pick has that sort of time to develop.
I would look at adding McMahon to the list. Been good in the 2s and has 4 years development into him.
Id be disappointed if we delisted any of Binns, Lemmey or Moir at this very early stage of their career (barring any attitudinal issues)
They are kids in kids bodies which take time to develop. Im glad they are spending time in the twos - it wasnt that long ago our young players were getting belted because they had to be played in the seniors. Its a luxury to have strong enough senior list that these kids dont need to get thrown into the lions den until ready.
As pointed out by other posters, we have some perennially injured players that we just cant carry anymore. Even if the likes of cunners, martin or marchbank come back in for finals and make a difference (tbh I only see Martin doing that) the rest of the squad cant carry them, again, for another year.
Defensive depth is our biggest weakness and needs to be addressed, which I think it will be this year

We did it last year
We cut 1 player with 1 year left from the Rookie List. Not somebody with 2 years of a senior contract left, and not 2 players.
I could see us cutting and rookieing Fantasia to create an extra senior spot, but I’d be shocked if we cut him outright, and we certainly won’t be delisting Young. Especially with our lack of tall defender depth, because you’d have to assume that Marchy and Durdin are already going.

Unless they’ve changed the rules, I’m not sure this is right.

Would be disappointing . It is just hard to hold onto kids who aren't showing improvement. We lost a couple of list spots through covid and then we increased the number of players needed in a team to 23. Crazy it hasn't been returned to pre-covid levels as a list should be at least 2 complete teams. Unfortunately I can't see it happening given we need an extra 4o odd players for the Tassie team and they may get the GCS extended list allowance.

Rules changed 3 or 4 years ago iirc.
Totally agree with all of that.
I'm glad big Nigel got his opportunity last weekend, but going down in the first quarter with yet another soft tissue injury when you've played 1 game in 2 years and out of contract puts you straight in the cross-hairs. Can't see either him or Marchy surviving the cut....a contracted Young becomes the back up option. Even if he requests a trade, we've got all all the aces to either negotiate a hard deal, or hang onto him.
And as much as some people are suggesting to re-rookie Martin for a year, if he got an offer for 2 years on a senior list with someone like a Freo, he'd be crazy not to accept it. Fantasia is the one I'd be looking to re-rookie if he agrees to it, or even possibly Cunners.
And contrary to popular opinion, if we got a decent trade offer for Owies, I'd do it in a heartbeat - especially if it gets us extra draft capital for a trade deal, or to potentially move up the draft board. Personally, I'd like to think we're in the market for a Konstanty or Stone to boost our forward stocks with younger talent. If Owies were to depart, it would potentially leave us with small/mid forward options of Motlop, Fogarty, Durdin, Fantasia, Martin, Moir, Williams, JSOS and Elijah....as well as a Konstanty/Stone.
TBH, those that aren't getting a game, or developing as hoped, whether they are rookies or older players is not really the point. The issue I have is players that have been on the list a long time and offering very little. I'd rather take a punt on 8 or 10 new young blokes who may develop in 12 months over someone who been on the list for years and offering nothing.
Jake Kolodjashnij is someone I have thought about as a realistic target in recent weeks, but I reckon Tassie will go hard to get him there, being a Tassie lad.

Love the fact that On the Couch and CD Hoyne have mentioned we dont have a second key back. Or even a third key back which is a bit derogatory.
The important bit is Austin could not miss both pots at our club list. It's a grand canyon sized hole. Obviously I wished austin could have seen this eventuality 2 seasons ago. Potentially too busy clapping himself on the back for Young who is now probably paid as a first team 22 player rather than the periphery player that he actually is.
