Player Watch Mid-Season Pick #11 (2023) - Quinton Narkle

[Malibu#27]

Latest news:

Matt Turner reporting we are delisting Narkle and he will head to a third club in the SSP.

It's a scenario that happens all the time though.

Woodcock should've been delisted after McEntee was, a few years back, but he was the one out of contract.

There's no way Atkins and McEntee are delisted under contract, so whilst Narkle might go, Evans will probably also go.

We could delist McEntee despite being contracted for another year. We delisted Pasini, despite being contracted because we knew he was surplus with the recruitment of BZK and Ratugolea. McEntee was not preferred to Narkle and Francis Evans for most of the last 10 weeks of the year. I agree that Evans will probably go and that we'll probably delist Narkle before considering delisting McEntee but there is still some chance Narke is saved and McEntee goes.

Giving McEntree a two year contract extension last year was about as dumb as trading in Atkins.

The McEntee 2 year extension was considerably dumber from my perspective.

Of course you can, and we've done it more than once, but without knowing the internal workings of the salary cap position we don't know if it is possible. As such it remains highly unlikely. If you delist a contracted player you have to pay them, plus a new draftee under the cap. It challenges the cap position, plus is effectively wasted money on a player.

Usually you'd delist a player under contract and reabsorb them on the rookie list to open draft spots, but ensure you don't waste that money you've already committed to the player.

It definitely feels like a contracted player might be in danger this year though. Going to this draft with only 4 spots, across both main draft and rookie draft, seems a strange call. But as far as we're aware there are only 4 players uncontracted. Guess that's why we're all so keen to hear what the delistings will be.

I feel like CD referred to 4 picks as non -NGA and F/S picks
