Thanks for posting this Rexy. Looks like we’ve got space for one more player and will take someone who trains with us through the SPP.
List is in the best spot top to bottom it has been in for years now. No more excuses. Over to the players and coaches to get us playing finals footy in 2021

and a category B if we happened to stumble across one.

What a sight. Talented youngsters everywhere. From Patty Cripps and younger what a great underbelly of youth coming through.
What I like about it most it's hard to find deadwood on that list (I said hard not impossible)..

Teague made an interesting comment the other day. He said that we have over 30 blokes on our list who have shown they can play AFL, but we don’t yet have enough selection “locks”.

Weitering & Walsh are probably our only under 23s who have locked down a position in the team.

There’s a talented group in their early 20s - Cunners, Dow, Fisher, Kennedy, Harry, Charlie, SPS, Setterfield, SOJ, Willo, LOB, TDK - who haven’t quite cemented themselves as reliable, ‘always there’ bona fides. If most of that group take a step up in consistency next year, it will go a long way towards making us better.

Agree ABNS need not one or two of those to come on but a bunch and then we would really be motoring
If for example a few improved like Setterfield did this year then that would also propel us forward .
The other guy that needs to get on the park and show his talent is Marchbank .
He and Charlie haven’t effectively played for almost 2 years and have a great deal of talent but regrettably we hardly ever see it.

Hopefully a Kemp and Philip can also show something .

The addition of senior guys like Martin Newnes Saad and Willians over the last few years should also given side more solidity .

Both TDK and Pittonet are also very young in terms of games and age so have hopefully. a large upside too
Agree with David list seems more balanced in terms of talent, age demographic and list demographic than for many years so absolutely NO EXCUSES .

Amazing that Sam Walsh is still the eighth youngest player on the list.

Star.

Agree GWS Walsh could be the best in the team shortly and wouldn’t surprise if he became one of the best in the AFL at some stage

I didn't realise Newman was so old (in footballing terms!) Shame, thought he'd be a longer term proposition than that.

Good pick up abns

We need all the group you mention to step up in 2021. The older ones should have stepped up in 2020.

Pressure for spots in the 22 are certainly hotting up, but players better get it through their heads this preseason that next year a minimum 3 will be dropped/ traded from the list due to AFL rules.

Pressure for spots on the list too.

We are short a tall, if that makes sense.

Can we predict who'll get the chop in 10 months, now?

The young ids need to step up, that's it in the proverbial nutshell, full stop period.

Surprised both BSOS and McReadie were given the chop.
