So by my count we now have 37 on the primary list.
If we take 6 picks in the draft we need to cut 3 more players.
?????
So as best as I can tell, its 38 players on the list with 6 Cat A rookies, and 3 Cat B rookies. If we don't use both Veteran slots (for the purpose of reducing their wage by half, for the salary cap) we may nominate rookies, who can be selected as though they were on the senior list. We have Grandpa Simpson, so we can nominate one rookie.
Up to 3 rookies can be retained for a 2nd or 3rd year. Others they have to be elevated or delisted.
Seniors are:
Silvagni, Murphy, Gibbs, Simpson, Buckley, Kreuzer, Cripps, McKay, Kerridge, Boekhorst, Lamb, Jones, Docherty, DVR, Rowe, Jaksch, Sumner, Plowman, Tutt, Weitering, Whiley, Armfield, Cuningham, Charlie Curnow, Graham, Everitt, Phillips, Ed Curnow, Gorringe, Thomas, Casboult, White, Wright
That's 34 players with the addition of:
Marchbank, Pickett, Smedts, and Palmer
Senior list is now 38
Rookies:
Sheehan, Gowers, Byrne, Gallucci, JGM, Korcheck (Cat B)
So I think they'll elevate Byrne, but put him straight on the Long Term Injury List.
They can only offer 3 rookies extensions beyond a year, so I think they'll keep JGM, Gallucci. This means we fairwell Sheehan, Gowers, and Korcheck.
Since you have to use at least 3 picks in the draft we need to delist 4 (if my guess on elevating Byrne is correct).
The talkingcarlton contract tracker has Tutt out of contract so I'd start by delisting him. I thought he had one year left to go though??? Sad he didn't make it. Loved his explosiveness but rued his disposal efficiency. I think they'll delist Whiley. They had Graham in front of him for midfield depth. DVR hasn't developed fast enough so I think he'll be gone. In a best case scenario, he'll be picked up during the Rookie draft and we'll give him another year that way. Due to our forward line concerns, I can't see us delisting Everitt. I think they'll give him another year. That means we move either Graham or Buckley. Since we'll be recruiting a midfielder with Pick 5, and we just brought in Palmer for depth, I'd delist Graham (with some regret because I've always liked his tackle rate). Lets himself down with decision making with the ball. Buckley shows glimpses and deserves another year.
Delistings: Sheehan, Gowers, Korcheck, Tutt, Whiley, DVR, Graham
That gives us 3 picks in the draft with Pick 5, 25, 48 (before academy etc). I think I'd leave pick 63 alone because either Everitt or Buckley would have to make way for them, and I don't think pick 63 would a better option.
That also gives us 3 rookie selections.
DVR selected as a rookie.
While I would suggest DVR as the nominated rookie, I think their is more to gain by letting all the Rookies know that there are 'no limits' and that there is a spot up for grabs. Award the nominated rookie to the player who works for it during the pre-season. Likewise, I would elevate JGM or Gulluci for the injured Byrne, or use it as further incentive for the Rookies to prove their worth.
Should be pretty exciting to watch.
Nice work Talrahir.
Although if we only draft 3 players it means we basically swapped the gws 2017 second rounder (say pick 32-36) for this years pick 48, as we won't be using the other two picks we got from the Hawks. So I think we'll probably be drafting more players otherwise that Hawks trade makes even less sense.
