I like Mullet, I thought North made a mistake delisting him.

I wonder if O'Shea is now a chance of being picked late in the draft.

In summary:

10 players off the primary list:
Bryce Gibbs
Dylan Buckley
Rhys Palmer
Simon White
Blaine Boekhorst
Billie Smedts
Kristian Jaksch
Liam Sumner
Dennis Armfield
Daniel Gorringe

One thing I notice looking at that list, is that with the exception of Gibbs, there's little real proven AFL quality in the list, hopefully turning over the list quickly can add some real value in time.

3 back on (Lang, Kennedy & Lobbe). If the rumour is correct, then also Mullet as a DFA. So we'll have up to 6 picks for the senior list.

Three rookies off the list:
Ciaran Sheehan
Matt Korcheck
Andrew Gallucci

Players still out of contract for 2017 (as per contract thread, unless I've missed an announcement):
Graham (senior list), LeBois & Glass-McCasker (both rookie list). I'm assuming all these will get 1 year deals, simply based on having made 13 changes already.

Does anyone know what the rules are around list sizes? It looks like we had 38 senior players with 6 rookies this year (although Korcheck was a Cat B wasn't he, is this in addition to the normal list. I'm assuming Sheehan wasn't still a Cat B rookie?)? I'm wondering if we'll use 6 spots in the main draft, or whether 1 or 2 might be converted into additional rookie picks (if allowed and assuming that we don't pick up on more than one DFA)?

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the options are?

Wonder what our turnover was in that period between 1989-92ish? I do recall a lot of player movements during those years.

Much bigger lists back then.

AFL fixture revealed

The Blues have today secured the signature of former North Melbourne player Aaron Mullett, on the first day of the AFL Delisted Free Agency Period.

The 25-year-old utility arrives at Ikon Park after 85 senior games with the Kangaroos.

Originally taken by North Melbourne in the 2011 Rookie Draft, Mullett made his debut in Round 22 against Fremantle impressing early with 17 disposals. In 2017, the defender averaged a career-best 20 possessions a game, leading the side in rebound 50s and second for running bounces.

GM List Management and Strategy Stephen Silvagni said Mullett was a strong addition to the Blues’ playing list.

“We’re very pleased to give Aaron another opportunity at AFL level, one we know he will fully embrace,” Silvagni said.

“An impressive contributor for North Melbourne’s backline, Aaron showed his talents as an effective rebounding defender. However recently, he has also been pushing through the middle so we see some exciting versatility there.

“Importantly for our young group, Aaron provides valuable experience after seven seasons at senior level. With a strong pre-season campaign, we’re confident Aaron will be in a position to cement a regular spot in our senior side in 2018.

“After another 13 list changes following the end of the 2017 season, our list is continuing to take shape and we’re excited about Aaron joining the ranks under coach Brendon Bolton and his team.”

Mullett will join the full playing group at the Club when they commence the pre-season campaign on Monday 13 November.

Mullett will do a much better job running the wings and making play than Boekhurst could. Upgrade.

He played a bit in the midfield this year.

If not as a rebounding back he may add to midfield as an outside mid/ wing.

Not sure if I'd have him play as a rebounding HB.
I've seen him lose a few one on one contests.

With the influx of quality players and 6 more picks for the Primary list, we should turn the corner this year.
Those 7-8 losses by small margins could become wins this year.

Lets stick it right up 'em on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights!
