I hear from mine about one a year on footy related matters. He is a shattered man

I have one who I see 2-3 times a year on my feed replying to the Saints media team posts.
Usually a well thought out essay on what's wrong with them. That's St.K for you, their ailments cannot be contained to a mere paragraph or less.

 

[cats_09]

if Duncan & Stanley retire we'll have 11 open list spots lol

They both won't retire

But not sure how many games either will play

 

[D BRIDGE]

As much as Duncan looks cooked I can understand us giving him one more year on low $$$ to space out senior players.

Hawk, Touhy, Rohan all over 30... and Parf this year.

Duncan next year (+ we nurse him to 300).

Danger the year after that.

 

[AndyMac05]

He's a big NBA guy, and more importantly, a Jordan & LeBron fan.

23 would be my guess.

Ah yes… That would make sense. Geez, it’s been less than a week since our season finished up and we are already discussing player numbers….

They're the only club in the AFL where nuffies on here and social media might have a better idea of what they're doing than the people in charge.

It's actually impressive how much they manage to get wrong. The law of averages says you might get it right eventually.

 

[My Tilly]

So…. Do we assume Bailey will be taking #3 for next year or am I being a little presumptuous? Very sorry to see the end of Parf and Rohan. Both provided plenty of entertainment in their time at the cats. Both maligned but I think both also made the most of their abilities and finish up as Premiership players. Congrats to them both.

I wonder if Conway would want to change numbers?

[cats_09]

I guess we can finally put to bed the notion that Hardie will be making his senior debut next season...

Geelong Cats List Update

The Geelong Football Club has confirmed list changes to its AFL playing squad.

LeBron

Smith can probably choose between #2 or #3 unless he wants to go higher for whatever reason. But yes, the way it works is that he would most likely get first pick on a number and the rest sort themselves out.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

He's still a chance, he'll just register for the draft/SSP under a different name.

Hitch Mardie has a good ring to it.

 

[witsend]

Hardie a bit unlucky, but he’s a long way back as a preferred mid.
Clohesy seems more favoured and likely got an AFL spot, especially considering he was emergency in the PF.
Rohan and Parfitt no surprise really.
Crap way for Rohan to go out, but I’d be pretty certain the club will look after him medically.
I’d think we’ll offer Stanley another year as insurance unless Rhys has had enough, which I think could be likely. He just may not want the pain of another pre season and running around on sore knees.

Stanley was reasonably good through the second half of the season, but is allegedly playing with a degenerative knee isn't he?

Duncan just looks old now, and whilst I understand the need to control the exit of our seasoned players we'll be in trouble if he plays many games next year.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Are any of the delisted blokes able to come back on the rookie list?

 

[frggr]

7 delisted. They must have a few moves in play

 

[frggr]

Luko has the opposite problem to sav.
Sav is all heart no talent.
Luko is all talent and no heart. I would never offer either a long term deal.

Their lovechild would be unstoppable!

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Disappointed to see Foster gone. I only watched him play once, but thought he showed heaps of potential in that game. Guessing I may have simply caught one of his better performances.

Pretty interested to see Peatling's name floated though - I'd be all over that like a rash. He was super impressive in the second half of the year in the GWS games I watched.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Guthrie and blicavs definites. If you hang onto duncan bews stanley then thats 5 gone. Danger possible.
If either foster or willis survive this cut they go in 12months if not best 22.
If knevitt and clohesy arent getting gametime next year they will likely look for trades (and fair enough). Stevens and wiltshire would be question marks for 2026. Atkins to me is questionable (though the club loves and might keep). So thats 10 possible even assuming sdk neale and close and mannagh all sign.

Well danger is staying an extra year on top of that so it's 5 definitely. Ill add Stevens who i think will go too. Wiltshire hard to say without any evidence so it's possible.

I don't think Knevitt is going next year though, he's flexible enough we'll find a way to use him, and Clohesy is definitely showing signs so I don't expect him to go. If they do go it'll probably be for a trade for a 2nd/3rd so you won't be delisting them for the last pick in the draft and I wouldn't count them here.

So I'd say we're probably at 6-7 keeping those names. Which incidentally is adding about the same number of last pick in the draft types as this year.

Plot twist - it's twins and one is a jet and the other still lives in his parents basement posting in bigfooty under burner accounts

Scott did say they 'have a few balls in the air'......

 

[iameviljez]

It's not always true, but how many games do you see Duncan and Stanleys bodies letting them play?

Stanley is a different kettle of fish, being a ruckman - it's too specialised a position for this.

Duncan? Well, he played 22 games this year, so I see him being fit for roughly 18 next year.

Think Rohan will transfer to coaching the AFLW or similar. Seems like a good guy to have around, just not around your physios

Another case of Jon Ralph trying to make the news rather than report it.
