The ole NARF argument.
Cheers bloodspirit, I enjoy reading your considered posts as well.
Rather than a footnote I would have thought that the fact he hasn't been picked since R1 last year would be the most persuasive indicator of all of how he is viewed by the coaching staff and that he won't be retained. Especially as he wasn't brought in as a project player but a player with quite a bit of senior experience.
IMO he's surplus to requirements and I'd be amazed if he is kept on the list.
At the risk of repeating all the other posters, I'd think BJ, Tyrone and Talia are all locks to not be here next season. The rookies will be more interesting.
Can't ever remember a time where almost to a person we agree on the probable delistings.
The only point being debated is whether McVeigh should get another season. Is playing to a high standard IMO and should be given another year with no gold pass, just in case.
Rookies are interesting with most showing enough to go again but we can't seem to find definitive rules about what we can do. Anyone got a contact in the club that can clarify?
The AFL Rules from May 2016 are the most up to date I can find. These should provide definitive guidance and as there's no mention of having to add a minimum amount it would seem the clubs can add or delete to the maximum levels. Think it is like page 57 and there is an appendix at the back.

Re the rookies I think we'll clear some space, I'd like at least one of Brown or Bell from the academy to get a run at the senior list. Edwards I think had to crack the seniors this year to get a second year so he would be one probable for me. That plus Melican's upgrade freeing up two rookie list slots, or a fourth and fifth round pick if we go to a single list, might be enough for this year.
So it's a green light for the clubs on the west coast then?

We must stand united against the threats from the southern wastelands.
If you created a team from players who have left GWS, sun's, lions and swans it would be the most powerful side ever seen.
More A grade players poached from Adelaide in the last 6-7 years than anywhere and they're top of the ladder.
Plus they had draft penalties applied in that time.
Adelaide do recruiting very well and player retention very poorly. Talk is of Lever and McGovern leaving this year too.
I wonder if living in Adelaide is an issue?
Small-minded provincial city with an obsession about bloodlines, private schooling and lack of convict heritage along with a nasty little underbelly. Insufferable wine snobs and obsessives about social status.
Let us know what you think !
