Is Ainsworth contracted? He'd want to be, cause if not he's probably on the table to be delisted. I'd imagine Ah Chee is gone too.
We aren't that ruthless.

I remember Port fans being filthy about giving away Ah Chee for a token pick swap. He wasn't getting a game for them, he isn't getting a game for us, he wouldn't get a game for them now.
I would have liked us to give him a block of games at least but it’s pretty clear he doesn’t endear himself to match committees
Surely we'd look at Luke Jackson if he's available. We need a genuine ruck to develop.
So with Liam Henry is doing the right thing and pushing up his trade valuation. He slotted in 3 goals against Vic Metro and this will all go towards increasing his draft range. He missed a few games earlier this year with a hip injury but has some back looking the goods. He has some very special skills and more of that in the carnival means he will go up the boards in draft range, even approaching the first round prospect.
As it stands, Freo are looking at holding picks 10, 28, 82 and some late picks. They would probably want to have something else meaning they could well be in the market for selling pick 10 and we could offer them picks 22 and 33 (as they stand) which si about the same in points with a side agreement not to bid on Henry.
That would leave us with 10, 15, 61 and some late picks. Could we get Kelly with picks 10 alone? If not, we could sweeten it with a future second or a player like Nelson or Venables.
Schoey is a fairly useful back up but with him on the list brander rotham and edwards would struggle to get a game .Delistings/retirements?- smith,ah chee,mutimer,mcinnes,schofield,possibly masten
Should be enough

Freo have two academy kids who could be 1st rounders. Thats not good for us as Freo will be willing to trade both for Kelly and get the Cats 2nd back.
Trade two firsts for Kelly, get two first round rated kids using later picks. Smart list management if Freo can pull it off.
Still think Kelly's manager has changed his tune re Freo just to gain leverage negotiating $$ with us. Stupid move ruling Freo out last year.
It only seems stupid because Geelong chose to be difficult to deal with ...

You wouldn't delist Schofield unless we added another developing KPD or some more depth to our list to support Barrass.
For me it's
Mutimer
Mcinnes
Smith Would be surprised if we turfed him after one season
Ah Chee Probably deserves it but we're not exactly giving him a chance
Bines Might cut our losses
Marsden Got a feeling he gets another season
Yeah Geelong, Like Sydney and Adelaide never really truly drop off.

Geelong were in decline before they got Dangerfield, 2015 they finished 10th.
Since then they've got a lot of top ups (Stanley, Smith, Rohan, Touhy, Dalhaus etc) but with the core of their list still old they are in for a fall soon IMO
It's been said for almost 10 years that Geelong were going to fall off a cliff, they just don't. Having a strong culture like they do will always keep them in the mix.

GMBDQHT15batmansymbolQW stadium plays a massive part in them staying around the eight but come finals that's where you see the 'cliff drop'.
