List 2023

[Little Ziggyadee]

With the trade period over and how many of our players are uncontracted?
And how many spots are available for drafting?
I'm pretty sure by Friday Aarts, Collier Dawkins, Stack and Dow will be without a football club..

Dow's contracted. Swap Dow's name with Martyn's and you are probably pretty close.

I reckon we will try and rookie either RCD or Stack.

With Hopper and Taranto with Sonz and Rossy's levelling up in the end of the season, they have effectively covered the loss and no longer need to wait on Riley or need to worry about Dow or Martyn or Aarts.

Stack has the ability and the talent and the versatility, he's shown it on the big stage.

I'd keep Syd over Riley for 2023 if I was keeping one.

FWIW I'd probably be tossing up which of Dow or Riley I'd keep if they were both uncontracted.

So 3 guys retired (-3)
2 guys recruited from GWS (-1)
Upgrade pickett (=)
Delist 2 ?? (-2)
Draft 2 ?? (=)
And then the rookies

I think thats it.

We will be forced to delist Stack (and maybe we re-rookie him - can keep him on the rookie list then for 3 more years).

Martyn / RCD delisted from the main list. Aarts from the rookie list.

We then get 2 in the ND (your calcs above), and we can then draft 3 rookies (6 - Pickett - Aarts - Stack) but possibly re-rookie Stack in that group.

Yeah I would too. I don't see where the position is going to arise for RCD so see little upside in our AFL team. Stack offers us something different. If we don't promote him though, we are forced to delist him and have to re draft him in the rookie draft.

 

[mrposhman]

BTW I hope if Aarts is delisted, that we recruit him to our VFL team and potentially make him either captain or VC.

 

[checkside]

I thought Dow was contracted? Could be wrong.

Surely Aarts is gone, he’d be 28 before the start of the season and proven he has much less to offer than Dow, RCD, Stack etc. IMO.

Agreed he is a Richmond man, and a very good VFL player.

Could be the Skipper of the VFL.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Really hope Stack remains on the list, in whatever guise that may be.

If he pulls his head in and finger out, he becomes a weapon, a level above a few others on the fringe.

 

[checkside]

If he pulls his head in and finger out, he becomes a weapon, a level above a fair few other.

I have been a big supporter of Syd, and can resonate with some challenges he has faced more than some others can. But I do think time may have ran out for him.

Talent wise he’s in the top 10% of our list easily.

Could delist 3 & get some key fwds down to train over summer with the last list spot up for grabs if one them can step up & impress.

 

[Tigerfan]

If we turn over just the 6 players this years
We have recruited 2 through trade already
And say we take 2 ND/ 2 rookies

Lambert edwards caddy Parker already left
Delist martyn and Aarts
Maybe re-rookie martyn

Stack has X factor
If he wasn’t on our list he’d be seriously considered as a recruit target

 

[momentai]

If there are any thoughts of delisting and then putting Stack on the rookie list. Forget it. It would be like Blair arriving a few seconds late to register a controversial transfer.

No way he makes it through to anyone’s rookie list. Will be gone before the 3rd round.

I don’t think this has been well handled at all. Trying to scare the pants off him was not the way to go. He should have been re contracted 6 weeks ago.

Must keep.

Ok momentai
In that case we should upgrade him from the rookie list

We would be required to delist a primary list player to do that
I believe we only have 2 primary list players out of contract - Martyn & RCD

Thanks TF.
Whatever it takes!

I’d like to see that, too. The only danger is that another club think he’s worth a shot and pick him up.
