We really should go after Preuss now that Melbourne have recruited Luke Jackson

With Ling, i say we might as well keep him for another year.
His contract is up at the end of this year, but we have sunk so much already, one more year won't hurt.
And considering the other useless sods like Thurlow we have on our list, lets give the kid a go.
Rampe is getting old, he is already 30, we need to find a replacement for him!
doof-doof
AFL
wouldnt we be able to out price what the giants can offer caldwell ? and then trade ?
"be tough, only when it gets tough"
Does anyone know what the list will be next year? The last I'd heard was 35 plus a single category B rookie.
If that's the case even if we simple delisted every single one of our rookies, we will still have to cut 5 from the senior list to make minimum room for 3 more draftees.
And the number of delistings increases with every rookie upgrade.
Anyone at this stage feel able to nominate?
1) Which rookies to upgrade
2) which players to cut.
FWIW with the latter question, I can't get past Thurlow and Gray (age) and (I hate saying it) Sam
I can see arguments for and against for pretty much everyone else, and the situation with the 2's won't help.
Jeez it's a tough one this far out, but I'll have a crack at the delisting players who are out of contract
Thurlow, Knoll, Fox, and Foot I think are all goners.
Ronke, Bell, Maibaum, Ling, and Clarke are probably in the group labelled "need to make the most of their chances if they get them this year", otherwise I could see them being cut/re-rookied.
Knoll is a bit harsh but he didn't do much in the NEAFL last year did he? I'd rather we go for a fringe ruck somewhere else with a bit of hunger. If Preuss is happy just to pick up a paycheck then we should avoid him, but if he wants to prove himself at AFL level, he'd be my target.
