We had it on hold for around 2-3 years that I started to wonder lol But would be a good opportunity

So we've got 2-4 senior list spots available and 0-2 rookie spots available.

Dont think steene was ever on the LT1 list, they didn't rule him out for the year until late, as they thought he could play some games later in the year.

We were +2 with Smit and Long added mid season so those mentioned above off plus Begg.
So in’s look the way it will go but no free spots if no one else goes with 3 picks.
Other option is we may only take 2 picks in draft like last year and promote a rookie and hold a spot for SSP.
If we keep 36/6 two contracted players will have to be delisted and re-rookied.
Finn Macrae?
Is he gonna try and break through in 25.
Can’t question his resolve.
No team approached?

Leppa did say there is a spot for him and they do think he can be a player and that he thinks he could be a player that pops next year. Said that some take until year 4-5. We can only hope.

Eyre didn’t get much of a look in… strange to promote him… having seen a lot of him in VFL in 2023… to then delist him
Bytel had his chances but with the arrivals and 2-3 on draft night… one or more out of Bytel, Long and Sullivan had to go to realign the list
With the St Kilda forward half duo to arrive… Krueger probably ruled as surplus… not sure that Hayes plays much more football than him though
I expect Dean to be delisted or promoted. 3 years on rookie list means the club has to act on him
McInness 50/50 to stay
Personally I’d delist and re-rookie Johnson before cutting reef… who could still find a role going forward

Eyre is disappointing, injury has really stopped his career development. I’d be sure he’d make a good defender, not a forward as his marking can go off.
Bytel and Freddie I’m not surprised, disappointed that they kept Reef but that’s their decision, I might not like it but that’s what’s good about being a supporter you can disagree with the club and still cheer them on to victory and be a “true” supporter not a cult member.

Not anymore
The AFL bought in a new rule where for rookies if you have played less than 10 afl games, you can stay on the rookie list up to 5 years.

In this day and age I think it’s the opposite way around. You can get away with dropping a few up forward if you have good enough crumbers and pressure players but down back you want someone with clean hands who isn’t gonna give the opposition crumbers an opportunity.

I count 33 Senior + 5 Cat A rookie = 38 currently on our list (plus Parker in one Cat B spot but that has no effect on senior / rookie list spots).
Need to have three additions to to the senior list which brings us up to 36 senior / 41 total (assuming we use three picks in the national draft), so we'll be cuttingone two more rookie(s) at least if we're looking at bringing in Membrey and Tomlinson.
Looks like one or both of Long and Sullivan might be in trouble, can't see them cutting Dean or Reef now that both Kreugs and Eyre are gone.
As an aside Dean is the longest serving rookie at 3 years but he has only played 8 games so can stay on the rookie list this year. This means there no current pressure to promote anyone, but we could do so and go with one less selection in the draft, opening up a rookie list spot for the draft or SSP/MSD.

Yeah, I can see that. The knock on him was his marking, similar to Big Billy so that’s why I thought it but I get what you’re saying.

Does Condon sit on the list as a Cat B as well?

When he signs, yes. Might not be until next year.

Only thing I don’t think is right is you have gone 38/5 with one Cat B. Think the maximum of senior and Cat A is 42 with the possibility of 2 Cat B’s

In order for us to secure him, I am guessing we need to get him on the list as a Cat B? In the 2025 footy year, which starts next month?

His manager indicated it would happen probably early 2025
