Bit harsh on edwards much younger with much less oportunity
He is a year younger, but looking at our list, when in the past we've been able to delist older guys who had no hope in hell such as Johnson, Chambers, Mclaren, Teague etc. we've pretty much run out of these guys (Wiggins, Banno and Saddo are probably the only three left, though they're pretty serviceable). Beyond that, we're gonna have to start delisting kids with promise but haven't shown enough - even though they might make it. The reality is, we have to draft at least 3 players every year and with the deadwood running low, guys who could warrant a list spot will have to go.
If Edwards doesn't manage a game next year, he could very well fall into that category. I'm hopeful RE: Edwards but he's gonna want to stay fit and manage a game in the firsts if he wishes to stay on the list beyond 2008.

Sounds about fair, they gave Livingston five years ...
When will Carlton announce any further delistings, if they announce any more at all?
Sorry, I didn't wanna start a whole new thread, thought I would just stick it in here

David Teague
Dylan Mclaren
Anthony Raso

So who is likely to be the one more? Simon Wiggins?
Can this delisting decision be made after the draft ?
For example if the recruiting staff don't believe a rookie picked at 46 will be an upgrade over current players on our roster can we forfeit that pick instead ?

We have no veterans, so we can keep Jamo as a nominated rookie.Yep thanks
And one more question, why wouldn't we promote Jamison?
That is, he is still on the rookie list, but we can play him at any time (don't need a long term injury).
Each club can have 2 veterans or nominated rookies per year.
Jackson was a nominated rookie last year, but after 2 years on the rookie list must be elevated or delisted.
Some guidelines and an explanation are on the stickied thread CFC team list and contract status on the main team page.
There are three list lodgements. See the above mention team list thread for the dates.
We have to use pick 46.
Each AFL club has to use a minimum of three picks in the ND.
For us this is 1, 36 and 46.

Thanks mate, thought it was something like that.
By the way my tip is Wiggans
I was a big Russell basher last season. But didn't seem to mind him this season. He always caught my eye when he tried to run through a player rather than taking an evasive action. - It usually didn't come off and he got tackled, but I always thought to myself, "He loves to run through the lines". I think there's a place for players like that in the modern game. He's not the fastest improver, but with more experience, fitness and hardness, he could become a valuable ball-carrier for the Blues. That's something sides like St Kilda forgot to address.
I think his pace, height, and skills are all reasonable too. His smarts and general football ability are what is letting him down. Our new development coaches could really benefit him in that area.
I have him in my starting 22 next season...

If you get an impression of a guys character, and you do, Russell comes across as though he thinks he is a sure thing. The decision to pursue Russell and Thornton with so much vigour appears to have endowed them with an inflated sense of self worth.
Russell seems to think his place is assured, and the best medicine for this bloke would be to tell him he has to prove himself this season or he is out. Further he has to crack the seniors first, by tearing the reserves apart. Beyond that, his time is up. I think this would serve the kid well. We have been playing so many players out of desperation, that they think they are a shoe in.

Possible......we would have to pay out his final year as he is still under contract.Thanks mate, thought it was something like that.

Walker runs "through" the lines, Russell runs into them.
Reserves with a warning for mine.
I seem to have missed something this year. What's with everyone saying Thornton had a poor season? Everytime I watched him this year i kept saying "Thank God he didn't go to the Hawks". He's a class act down back, and I actually reckon he's improved his contested marking this season. Apart from an injury or two, and perhaps trying a little too hard to tank in the last month and a half, he arguably had his best year yet.
Going back to Russell though....
I think this will be the biggest positive in our increased depth next season.
Last year a number of players were gifted games without really have to do much in the reserves. Russ was the main one and he got gifted about 10 games at the start without showing much and then was dropped. He then followed that up with some pretty average performances for the Ants but was elevated for another 7 or so games due to injuries.
This year Jordan and the other young guys will know that if they don't dominate in the reserves they won't be playing.
Jason Saddington would be heading the list as far as delistment goes. Too slow, bad disposal and even worst decision making. If we want to move forward these sort of players must be moved on. To the dismay of many on this board Blackwell would be second on the list.
And Judd runs through cement walls like the Juggernaut in X-Men 3.
aaah ! ha ha!
I got that image of the girl destroying the whole world by tearing at the very fabric of existence....thats the blues next season.
