I think that is just maths
Why are we delisting Reidy? He’s now our number 1 ruck reserve and playing good WAFL footy. Not sure there is much more he can do unless he gets a good run in the seniors and is hopeless. We would also need to trade in cover if we did assume our new ruck is going to take awhile.
I’d say their is a bigger chance he does a Meek and requests a trade.
There is also no chance we lose every senior player we have in one offseason with early payouts. They will want to keep JOM with Fyfe & Walters are retiring. I recon they would sign Aish as depth too if the price is right.
Yep for me:
Pickett and if he isn’t available hit up Darcy Jones.
Warner seems likely to be heading to WC. Still worth having a crack but the cost seems likely to be in the Tim Kelly sell the farm range.
I’m a big Jones fan and believe he compliments our forward line needs.
I'll add Narkle to potential delistings. He's awful and I'm not sure why we're bothering with him.
Delean would be iffy too
It's probably Aish vs Worner for a list spot IMO. If Worner is better than Aish by next year then Aish goes, otherwise I think it's time to give up on Worner but we'll still need that depth for a year or two when a future draftee develops.
There is already a huge competition for spots and its bad idea getting another foot soldier.
Warner and Pickett are upgrades and should be the targets.
I said Pickett was number one target.
Also my opinion only but Jones is no foot soldier. He is about to explode. His agility and speed is top end. Didn’t he break Stephen Hill’s long standing agility record. Also like 2.7 secs for 10m. Plus played some very good football. I remember Walls loving him in his draft year. Banfield, Wagner, Aish, JOM and a few others I would call foot soldiers. Not Darcy Jones. His last season reminds me of Bolton just before he exploded into top tier player.
Needs to average 1.5 goals a game and 6 score involvements to consider as a good upgrade.
Current at 0.9 goals and 3.7 score involvements.
That's a 50% increase.

At the time I posted we still had Knobel and tbh I don’t rate Reidy.

Can someone share a list of all our new draftees, and their preferred positions. I have been out of the loop last few days.
Forgot names, but here is info.
Reid - wing, mid, half forward or half back. Good skills, good fitness base and pretty quick. Only player I expect to be near 22
2nd player we drafted. Key forward. Could go back.
Carr. Half forward. Maybe half back. Long term project.
Rookie. Ruck.

I don't the Aish retirement
Haha yeah I know. Just you’d think after 2018-2022 the average age would be higher. But those 4 go and it’s again like an inexperienced sideI think that is just maths
Wouldn’t be surprised if Erasmus asks for a trade. There’ll be players leaving like on years past to try and nab Warner and Pickett, somehow

Not really, Bolton is 26 so only 6 years younger than Walters, Brodie isn’t getting a game anyway, Fyfe and JOM are early 30’s so not dragging our average up too much, the extra year into the rest of the 22 nearly balances out the loss of those 4. If we replaced Fyfe with Reid it’d bring the average down a lot, but likely to be Ras or NOD who have both been in the system for 4 years in 2025.
Average stat is a pretty crude stat. Outliners can really change the average.
For me as long as the majority are 22-28 years old in the best 25 works me.

Big difference between list average and B23 average as well.
Mode, and Median of the best 23 is other measures that adds to the picture. Also, considering outliners is important.
Another measure is the median of the best 10-15 players.
We are young and most of best players are in the 22-28 age group. Exciting times.
The average age of your top 5 players is a lot better stat I think.
If all your A graders are 30 plus you are in trouble. If they are all 26 and under, then you should improve over the next 5 years.
You make a great point.
2015 we had Pavlich, Mcpharlin, Sandilands, Mundy and Fyfe in our top 5.
2016 Mcpharlin retired and we fell off the cliff.

Point of order mr speaker: Bolton is actually 8 years younger than Walters.
Any news on Jones?

Is Walters 34 already!
I’d say another week. He headed to hospital if I remember Wed late afternoon (13/11) and reportedly in hospital for up to a couple of weeks.
Main news on Monday will be the full squad back training and Narkle being added via SSP. At some point after that we’ll hear about Jones and any train on options.
What about the Irish bloke Kelm? St Kilda announced an Irish Cat B in and amongst the draft. I know the rules around nominating Irish is different but I’m not sure we’re actually selecting the fella.
