We'll see some retirements for sure from the list.
Hill isn't OOC until 2026
Maynard they'll work on over the summer you'd think
Harry is OOC end of 2025, so they'll have to give him an extension.
I think Pendles might retire. The others will go when they're pushed (unless it's a significant injury) - it'll be called retirement though.

I'm betting on Howe and Sidey to be allowed to roll on and Titch to be pushed but it'll depend on next year's form. Cox might depend on Smit and Steene.

You shut that dirty little mouth. Pendles is never retiring!

We are all-in on a shot at the 2025 Premiership but if Moore cops a significant injury, we are stuffed.

I’m not sure how we make it fit but we absolutely must recruit the best available delisted experienced key defender over the summer.

Re Rookie list
Hate say it but I completely agree with Cornes.
Rookie list is a joke.
Nearly ever club has exploited it.
There’s no way we should be able to put Johnson and Leggy on the rookie list.
It was set up by the AFL to give untried players a chance - what a farce it has become.
They need to fix the parameters or get rid of it and just have one main list size.
Even if the way the rookie list works in practice is a bit weird, Cornes calling it a "disgrace" this morning smacks of him trying to over-extend himself in creating a headline. I can think of a lot more disgraces in AFL than putting a 28 year old on the rookie list.
 
Then again if, say, Reef goes even okay playing down back this coming year, he’s an easy retain at end-2025 because we have so many older players retiring and no draft picks.
I agree and it would seem that he’s the other depth in the KPD discussions of the past few pages, but it’s a big if given he’s had 4 years on the list with glimpses of ok. In that discussion he’s an upgrade on Eyre.

Pondering it further I think cutting Long/ Sullivan completely and Macrae to the rookie list is the path I would have committed to without knowing the play for next year.

Moore’s form was career worst in 2024, there were times where he should have been dropped for Dean.

I think next trade period we'll be aiming for a 2022 trade scenario with some cheapies.

Yes they can but unlikely they will unless they genuinely want them in their best 23.

Adelaide should have a crack at him, Walker is cooked so AJ could work in a forward line alongside Fogarty and Thilthorpe. Still unlikely to succeed there but he has next to zero chance of getting back into our side I would’ve thought.

There are bigger disgraces but doesn’t preclude it from being a disgrace.
 
Reefs last 3 games as a defender

He had a full preseason and was picked to play round 1 - what is setting someone up for success?
I wouldn’t consider the way he was deployed in round one setting up for success. He was rooted in the square against the premier defender of the competition with the ball kicked on his head.

Still you have offer something when things don’t go your way.
