As they were both drafted at 23 you only get an automatic 1 year unless they signed both up for 2 years which I don't recall reading.
 
How does Thomas & Stephenson being upgraded to the main list at the start of the season impact on the number of positions available?

Makes no difference, they were only upgraded for the season. The only one that makes a difference is Miles as he has been given a contract until 2016
 
Does that mean with these two going back to the rookie list, Jackson and king retiring and miles upgraded that we have 3 places on the main list before we do anything

No, only one available on the main list, plus delistings and trades
 
Dont we have an extra spot left on our list? I recall reading that we went into the season one short on our list, which is what allowed us to immediately upgrade two rookies at Round 1 this year.
 
From those lists I reckon only Gordon, Lloyd, Bach and Pettard (if he is not contracted) would be feeling safe' ish.

Also hoping for Elton and McDonough to also get a 12 month extensions.

The others I not so confident about

I don't believe so, I think we went in with a full list. You may be thinking about the Rookie List.

EDIT: Just checked, we went in with a full list of Rookies too (6)

Just had a read of the rules - I think we could upgrade two due to something to do with the Nominated Veterans, so you are probably right :)

Maybe this is why we re-signed Newman for a year.

He would be on a performance based contract no doubt and may not be signed on for much depending on performance & number of senior games etc.

Therefore it makes the decision a little easier to comprehend as most of his salary wouldn't count on our cap due to the veterans allowance which allows vets to be paid $118,380 which isn't counted on the actual cap.

I believe Petterd was given until the end of 2015 when we promoted him from rookie to main list.

So as we have now trimmed the list, what do people think we will do with the spots? Just kids? Look at free agency or bring some delisted players in?

I suspect it will be a mix of both.

Whilst I don't think he;s a world beater, it may be a good option to go for someone like Shaun Higgins from the Bulldogs. A bit quicker than what we've got and it essentially a plug and play, no need to develop him from scratch. I'd like to see us bring in another forward or ruck (imperative if we trade TV) and theres a few cheaper options. Membrey may well leave Sydney this year, or on a slightly different tack, maybe Shaun McKernan (just delisted by the Crows) may be worth a rookie spot. Would certainly prefer a 24 year old tall on the rookie list than someone like Orren, as at least there is some potential upside there.

I reckon we should draft 3 or 4 kids for sure whether from the ND or in the rookie draft as we need to bring a few more kids in within this age bracket and develop them through the VFL team.

Definitely pace required, but looking at the list, I'm pretty happy that we've got rid of most of the fat that we've been carrying.

Sorry posh but Higgins ain't quick... Solid outside, decent kick - but quick he is not. On top of being injury prone and lazy - big pass for me

So we have 5 spots on the main list right. And 5 rookie spots? Or do the work alongside main list spots?
