Delisted free agents - sifting through the neighbor's bins

Surely we dont take Woody off a rookie list, just to replace him with Morabito......what would be the point?

When it comes to raw talent - Morabito has it in spades comparatively. I dare say with Woody being delisted that he is not on our radar though.
 
Delisting 4 today gives us 4 active draft picks (3 + Stewart upgrade) surely given our draft position we are a lock for a delisted FA.

that seems like a reasonable assumption to make

Josh Green from Brisbane.... at worst rides the bench for Rioli/Puopolo/Breust, obviously if he comes for the right price, $500k is a bit steep.

Would froff this pick up! Imagine this guy in a fwd line with some decent supply, could work well. It would also allow the other 3 to spend greater time in the midfield, plus Joshy wasn't the worst mid going around back in his tassie days, so he could add some depth! If we miss out on Barrett I want this guy!
 
seeing as we are probably going after a DFA, here are some candidates

Josh Green - Bris - left Brisbane after contract negotiations
Luke Lowden - Adel - HFC might give him another shot as Back-up Ruck?
Michael Barlow - Freo - unlikely seeing as he is 28, but could be a depth pick-up?
Clancee Pearce - Freo - 26 yr old, might be picked up for depth?
Xavier Richards - Syd - played in the finals and GF
Jake Barrett - GWS - Breusts Cousin
 
Henry Schade might be a handy pickup as a delisted free agent. 23 years old and only played 23 games I believe but big bodied at 196cm and around 86 kg. This season he averaged 5.8 marks per game and will only get better

No.

If you want more information as to why not, just have a chat to a few folks on the GC board.

Barrett hasn't been delisted yet
 
Is there an indication he will be? Is he uncontracted?

May have been out of contact and rumor was he was looking for opportunities. Being Breust's cousin makes him a possibility.

With GWS trading 10 players out he most likely stays I'd think, but they have until Monday to delist him
 
His versatility and aggression makes him the perfect understudy for Silk. The only concern for me would be his height but moreso what we would lose in the front half

Good points. Would love to see it. He tends to pick up aggressively, stands near but not next to his opponent even in defence. Ah, let's just do it, would be awesome to see!

Is lazy, sorry to say. Got delisted for turning up to every pre season unfit. And can't defend or chase to save his life
 
Has Richards actually been delisted yet? I thought Sydney offered him a contract, but he asked for a trade instead. They may delist him to help him get where he wants to go, but it's never a guarantee
Interesting that Sydney re-signed Towers right after delisting Richards, possibly suggesting the deal only got done when they upped their offer to him using some of the cash they'd previously allocated for Richards.

Rumor is their cap is extremely tight thanks to the $2m Bondi Billionaires & loss of COLA hence they couldn't match our offer for Mitchell. They need a hefty amount stashed aside to keep Heeney who's now their #1 priority from exploring his options.

Imagine showing the door to Mitchell and Lewis because your going a new direction and then proceeding to pick up Michael Barlow lol.
 
A bit disappointed with losing Woodward but I think Carlton have had interest in him in the past and this year may have been rookie listing him to get his rehab right. Carlton may now select him as a delisted free agent and could've been a side deal in letting him go as part of the JOM deal.

I suspect if we go after Lowden it will be via DFA or ND, I suspect a rookie list spot won't appeal as he has sizable offers at lower levels.

I wouldn't bother with Lowden as there is a reason he's only played 1 senior game despite being on senior lists for 8 seasons.
 
Lowden is 25 and has played one game. Zac Clark is 26 and has played 100, stuck behind one of the best Ruckmen in the comp. He's no world beater but with Fitzy being delisted and Ceglar injured it would make sense to pick him up.

I agree we will upgrade Stewart, take a DFA and go to the draft with two live picks. Of the DFAs I would look at Clark, Richards and Schade. Barrett if he is delisted.

Zac Clarke hasn't been delisted and was reported as likely to re-sign with Freo.
However I assume we are looking at a back up ruck from somewhere if we chose to dump Fitzpatrick.
