Could be a handy player somewhere else but unfortunately has zero currency.I feel Ben Paton would have currency. Or he'll be picked up and playing for someone next year.

Top 6 pretty clear in our estimation - two retirements, three delistings, one free agent.
Rest after that look a bit like a raffle tbh.
Forget the disposals. How many goals did he average? How many games did he kick multiple goals.Good point on Hall (which I had not considered) though I'm sure we could afford to pay the 12 months out comfortably if he doesn't look like he's up to the level. It's not like we're strapped for cash space and we're trying to squeeze in superstar free agents.
I'd dearly love for Collard to prove me wrong and become the next Milney but the kid averaged 7.6 disposals over 11 games in the VFL and displayed terrible body language (probably the worst I've ever seen) before being handed a long term suspension for repeated homophobic slurs....you couldn't script a worse first season in the AFL. It just seems like we could get something in return for him now....and he hasn't shown any signs of a player happy to be at St Kilda.
The fact that it has taken Allison nearly 4 years to learn the basics is the concern. He is not an instinctive player and has little or no game sense.Pretty surprised 80% of voters reckon Allison is gonski given his recent uptick in form. He’s impressed me a lot recently with running patterns, link up work, positioning, sharp field kicking, remaining a constant threat which is clear with much higher disposals and score involvements. His marking generally and contested marking is his next level up and goal kicking accuracy but I like his action reckon that is okay.
Membrey has maybe another year but reckon we’re better of letting him walk at this point. Hayes is surely done. We’re not in a position to reach for an 18yo KPF in the draft.
I know we’ve got Sharman, Hammer, King lined up as our 3 starters next year but Allison as a 4th hard running KPF as back up to the 3 starters is worth retaining.

I haven't seen Allison play recently but on the basis of his last few years, personally I'd have trouble believing it's actually a real sustainable improvement and not a last-gasp effort to be retained which will drop off again soon.
Hall was signed for an 18 month contractDoubt they’re delisting Hall after 6 months - having had injuries.
Double doubt they’re trading Collard.
Spot on. Trade Pato too.Delist/FA:
Ross
Bonner
Campbell
Crouch
Battle
Hayes
Hotton
Allison
Why?Delist/FA:
Ross
Bonner
Campbell
Crouch
Battle
Hayes
Hotton
Allison
And only 19. Well worth holding onto for another couple of years.Why?
From the weekend:
Oli Hotton
24 disposals, four tackles, seven clearances
Oli started the game really well having an excellent first two quarters as we saw him use his hands and drive his legs powerfully. A four-quarter effort both mentally and physically is the next step we’re after but he’s definitely going in the right direction.
Unfortunately he is no different in match simulation- hardly touches it.I haven't seen Allison play recently but on the basis of his last few years, personally I'd have trouble believing it's actually a real sustainable improvement and not a last-gasp effort to be retained which will drop off again soon.
Any player on a list for 4 years and not played an AFL game not over 200cm needs to be delisted...end of story.Unfortunately he is no different in match simulation- hardly touches it.
What a ridiculous commentI'm disappointed not to see Brad Hill's name on the list. I suppose he got a 3 year contract for his leadership qualities & his Uber Eats account.
What does he add going forward?I’d be surprised if we flicked Bonner.
Played him for the majority of the season just to delist???
If we do, not very good selection management.
