Still 3 uncontracted players. Plenty of room for further changes.
Bolts?

About?
So the three in limbo are White, Graham and Boekhurst. Surely White would be first to go?
As KB would say on guessen.. Don't be stupid!

The Adelaide hills arent that high.
They'd probably know of our interest in Kelly with our pick 30 so snaffle him with pick 26 .
Kevin Borich?
Playing again.
They were too tall this year - they may miss Mumford less than we think
Lobb and Patton FF/Ruck and Cameron as mobile forward.
Can we get young MacLeod before they list him as a rookie? Pretty please? His dad was all class, and if there's a chance...

Surely White is gone.
Defense is where we have our most depth. He really is not required at all. Rather get a young kid onto the list to see if we can find a diamond in the rough later in the draft.

White is simply cover for injuries, So our depth does not fall off a cliff.

2. CAMERON RAYNER
Half-forward/midfielder, 187cm, 88kg, Western Jets/Vic Metro
Buckenara says: The powerful midfielder/half-forward reminds me of watching a young Dustin Martin. Rayner ticks a lot of boxes — he’s a long and penetrating kick on both feet, has a leap to take grabs in the air, is dangerous in attack, quick off the mark and at U18 level he is strong at stoppages. He showed all of those traits and more through the national carnival, having a brilliant few weeks for Vic Metro and his dominant five-goal haul against South Australia in Round 4 showcased his ability inside 50, while his 23-disposal and six-clearance effort against WA highlighted his midfield capacity. There’s a lot to like about Rayner and I am sure as he gets used to playing against the bigger and stronger bodies at AFL level he could become an elite player.
Plays like: Dustin Martin
6. ADAM CERRA
Midfielder, 186cm, 85kg, Eastern Ranges/Vic Metro
Buckenara says: Cerra didn’t dominate at this year’s U18 carnival but he is a midfielder that is classy by foot, has a big engine, makes good decisions with ball in hand and wins the ball at stoppages. He also doesn’t appear panicked when under pressure, which is an important trait AFL clubs are looking for in players. A knee injury limited Cerra last season but he has had a year of consistent performances in 2017, which makes him one of the leading midfielders up for grabs in this year’s draft. He is a powerful player.
Plays like: Patrick Dangerfield
15. PADDY DOW
Midfielder, 184cm, 78kg, Bendigo Pioneers/Vic Country
Buckenara says: Dow has plenty of natural talent with a genuine turn of speed and good goal sense but he combines that with a strong work ethic. He’s a midfielder with lots of attributes and he had a reasonably consistent carnival for Vic Country without being brilliant. He has a bit of x-factor and is a player to keep an eye on.

13. CHARLIE CONSTABLE
Midfielder, 190cm, 83kg, Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro
Buckenara says: At 190cm Constable is the modern-day midfield prototype. His height gives him an advantage over other players and he uses that to his advantage with his marking around the ground. He also uses his size well at stoppages and is generally a smart footballer who reads the game well. Constable missed Vic Metro selection in its first game of the carnival but he featured prominently in its final three games.

If Card falls right and we get Rayner at p3 and Dow/Constable at p10

Sames goes, would even prefer a younger DFA.

As a medium defender? Here's the likely depth chart after pre-season:
Plowman, Marchbank, Macreadie, Byrne, Williamson....
...
...
White.
Back the kids. Can even shift Weitering if needed due to our more reliable senior KPDs that'll be sitting there as depth.

I agree, what other reason can they have for keeping him on?Interestingly I think it is also from the group named that we will trade out and up in the next drafts.
