Any bets on how the Crows PR team/executive look to manage/play out this next month?
Bunker down and wait for any last lingering post-season anger to totally dissipate then get the social media people to post a few photos of Crows players in suits at awards nights?
How about over or unders of how many announcements actually will be made before Justin Reid is ‘door-stopped’ on the 1st day of trade period & leaves his usual sound bite on trade radio of “We’re just seeing where things are at” before he walks into a room at Docklands.

Is it just me or is it always almost impossible to find any info about when our B&F is? The first you usually find out is on social media the day of.

we've never traditionally done them early have we?
some of our strength and conditioning staff have already left. Maybe we could put their names in here now - Dodge and Wallace for example.
Together with Burgo we were a club that had few soft tissue injuries compared with teams like Carlton, Essendon, WCE etc.
We were also fit.
Our issues were more to do with structural and collision injuries and a year where we lost our dare and where our midfield and lack of quality and leadership from experienced players was exposed.

Did they chose to go?
I think they went for further opportunities but I cannot be 100% sure
Dodge I think may be going back to he old dart for work in rugby
Wallace maybe for work associated with olympics but once again could be wrong

Sam Dodge went to Northern Ireland (Ulster) for a role back in rugby. I'm guessing he got offered a role as he left mid year which probably coincides with the preseason over there
Did them straight after we got knocked out of SANFL finals last year.

Carlton got eliminated 6 days ago and have already delisted 5 players.
I think we operated this way because we dont know how many trades and free agents we are going to be able to get done - Luko, Cumming, Neal Bullen, Rosas, ruck????
If we dont get many some may survive eg Hamill, Berg, Gollant
If we get Cumming maybe Hamill goes etc.
It may also be partly that we dont want to get rid of anyone officially till after Best and Fairest.
I am sure that most of these have been told that they can explore their options.
Its a pity we have not much draft capital as this is a very deep draft.

The other bottom four sides haven't announced their delistings yet either.

A bigger deal out west.
Afl draft guru tracks this
Last year, our first round was on the 19th of September
2022: 15th of October
2021: 22nd of October
2020: 23rd of September (then 4th of November)
So, no, we tend to let it get buried in the lull period of the off season. I assume it's either when we've settled on whatever is happening trade/contract wise, or it is one of those things where it isn't particularly urgent to announce.
I mean, right now, I think we know who is getting delisted.

You'd feel rightly pissed off if you got delisted given Borlase got two years

If the other bottom 4 sides finished bottom 4, would you finish bottom 4 too?
I don't recall saying good luck.
I agree that there’s zero to be gained by delisting early, but there’s also zero chance we get anything for these guys. Every other club knows the maths of our list and that even if we valued the player, we can’t actually keep them. The only value in not announcing the delisting is if expected inward trades don’t eventuate and we end up extending them instead of taking a late punt in the draft.
