Bit harsh on Barkla, only just arrived as a Category B rookie; he is not taking up any spots.
Should be filling all the Cat B spots, better than playing an SANFL player.
 
We burn Ken off and Butters decides he wants to explore his options?

That's Pickett with change for mine.
We'd be the ones throwing in change there if anyone. Butters can't live off 2020 forever.

Obvious cuts:
- Dumont, McEntee

Retirements:
- Jonas, Lycett

Players I would throw a few games to, to see what they can do:
- Lord, Williams

Players I would trade for magic beans:
- DBJ, Clurey, Mead, Bonner, Farrell

Geez when you look at the list there is a lot of crap on it.



We have 5 juniors that are likely being given more time:
- Mead, Barkla, K Marshall, Scully, Visentini


Then we have the pending retirements in the next 2 years:
- Clurey, McKenzie, Boak, Jonas, Lycett

Then we have those that wont make the grade:
- Jackson, McEntee, Evans, Lord, Williams, Teakle, Hayes, Dumont

Only real trade bait is Bonner:

So that's at least 14 list changes I'd expect in the next couple years. Given our first pick is set to be in the high 30's, we really can't be cutting to the bone, so we're going to be replacing these players with a heck of a lot of deep draft garbage, staggering the delistings across multiple years.

We need to hit free agency hard looking at this, concern there is that our form and losing the coach is going to make attracting players complicated.
 
I think our list is a bit out of whack but not terrible.

We do have a number of players that we could delist now and I don’t think it would change things dramatically. However, a number of those players are fine if they are fringe, break glass in emergency types. Mead, Farrell, McKenzie, Clurey, Evans, Dumont, Bonner are all fine as depth, keep the pressure for spots on and ensure a strong SANFL/reserves to maintain winning culture and allow for player development.

Problem is, McKenzie, Clurey, Farrell and Bonner are all in the 1s and Jonas and Lycett have regressed to the point of being depth themselves. Add to this Jones and Fantasia are struggling, and you have a third of your 22 made up of depth or struggling players.


We desperately need Jones, Pasini, Mead, Sinn and a ruck to come on and get lucky with early development of Jaskson, McCallum or Marshall. If that happens, suddenly those depth players are back being 3rd or 4th in the queue, there is pressure for spots and the level of performance dramatically improves.

We offered up Bonner last year, alas no takers.
And yes, look at the Hawks as an example of cutting to deep.
 
Offered up Bonner to who? For what?

He was a year out from free agency, and from what I’ve heard we haven’t offered him up, we’ve simply made it clear if he sought another team we would oblige.

Thought he didn’t want to leave Sa.


This year he’s a free agent, for what he costs I think a few teams will be quite interested… the issue will be if they can convince him to leave Sa.

Today's Paper: NORTH TALL TO HOLD OFF CONTRACT TALKS TO MAXIMISE VALUE
North Melbourne’s emerging second tall Charlie Comben will put off contract talks until the back end of the season as he maximises his worth at Arden Street.
The Roos are keen to re-sign him but while he wants to stay at the club if he can put together his best season holding off on talks is just smart business.

Country kids often do not like living in Melbourne. He is from Sale may be worth a look (from our List managers).
His body is finally started to hold together allowing him to showcase his ferocious attack on the ball and man.

Port Adelaide went after a big fish in the off-season and Riley Bonner found himself in the middle of the negotiations.
Through no fault of his own Bonner was spoken about as a way the Power could get a deal for Horne-Francis done.

I expect he will leave this year as a free agent; maybe the Crows,
If so, I reckon we receive bucker all compo.
 
Just had a look. Nothing there about Port Adelaide, and it largely consists of 'player X is out of contract and could attract interest'.

Thanks Alyx. We basically don't exist to Jon Ralph. Except when he blocks our supporters.
 
Will Day has shown faith in Sam Mitchell’s rebuild after re-signing with Hawthorn, resisting the lure to return home to South Australia.
 
Will Day - Hello is that Nick Holland? How did you get Hawthorn to make you better contract offers?
 

Melbourne made a pitch to out-of-contract star Kysaiah Pickett to re-sign, with the exciting small forward’s famous uncle Byron joining the Demons’ presentation.

Byron Pickett, the Norm Smith medallist who won flags at North Melbourne and Port Adelaide, finished his 204-game career at Melbourne and sources confirmed he joined the Demons last month in urging his nephew to recommit to the club.
