Yes please… but we will take the weak option and keep Clurey and McIntee

Kyle Marshall, Scully almost cetainly. I would not be surprised if Dylan Williams and/or McEntee were delisted. Get a feeling maybe 2 senior players maybe be delisted and re-rookied. Perhaps these maybe Jackson and Clurey.
He kinda came out of nowhere so when he was drafted, I was hopeful they had scouted this kid hard and burned a pick on him but to be gone after two years shows we were shooting blanks at the 2022 draft.
Clurey is a must keep. I trust him more than I trust Esava down back.

From a risk management point of view, Marshall is a lower risk, higher reward. Dollars, time, AFL Size all on his side. Clurey ain’t playing Ones again unless we are 14th in round 22 and someone decides he is worthy of a farewell match.

Clurey is too small and too slow. Good bloke rule only thing keeping him on the list. Esava will be fine down back.
To be fair, the 2nd round onward in that draft looks a complete bust for all clubs

Clurey has played at a clearly higher level as a KPD than Esava has in his career, and I don't mind Esava as a KPD.
Again, we had our best defensive season in the Hinkley era with our KPDs being 188cm Jonas, 191cm McKenzie and 193cm Clurey. Height helps in a key position player, but it's not everything.
I also note that we had a couple of big bodied physical KPDs who could play on monster KPFs in Jackson Trengove and Dougal Howard and we forced them out of the club. Trengove is only 33 and is a John Cahill medallist, he could have been playing for us through the whole Hinkley era but we made the specific decision to go smaller.
Our KPP list management is absolute dogshit.

Dougal Howard physical?
I remember that GF versus Sturt, where a 177cm midget who barely came up to his kneecap, verbally monstered him, and he shrivelled up like a mouse facing a cat and slunk away
Couldn't stand up for himself against a young kid, and had zero effectiveness the entire game
