RCD stays. The club know Covid has stalled development with a lot of these kids. They will give them extra time then what they normally would.
Aarts is definitely in gun.
One more might go.
I think we will take 3 at the draft and trade for a player. If not then 4 at the draft.
Doubt it. How many players can you draft in a year. Caddy gone, Parker gone, Lambert gone, hard to see Edwards going on. Will Cotchin and Reiwoldt stay on. And a whole host of unsigned players. We might end up having to keep players for another year.
There's lots of factors. Grimes is the least of our worries and won't be retiring at the end of the year. Please everyone, don't feed the Trolls.
Why would RCD survive ?
Can’t play
That simple
Make all the excuses in the world . Work rate is average . End of story
This Grimes is finished talk is silly. Has dropped a few marks lately but otherwise has been solid. Had 17 disposals, 16 were efficient. Was probably beaten by one of the best players in the league. Last week he had 3 contested marks. He's down on the lofty standards he has set over his career but still a solid contributor and still better than any tall that would replace him next year. I don't think he's finished at all.
Shoulder is troubling him immensely. Numbing it is only way he is playing.
Are you channeling Pol Pot or something?
You don’t move forward by going back to nothing. Sure you have a plan, and a number of those players you mention might not be long term.
But a massive cull is fraught with risk, especially if our drafting has been poor, something I am sure I have seen you contend on other threads.
i hear you
he had a good game in the VFL on the weekend
I'd say he has a month to save his AFL career
I'm sure the list management would be on a whiteboard locked away deep in the bowels of Punt Rd
and if due to retirements and his continued good form , his name could be moved from the Go column to the Stay column
I'm hoping he hasn't just brought a house recently
One of the things that the current spate of retirements will produce is extra time for the youngsters in the firsts - especially next year. If they believe that we have a genuine crop of AFL standard players (which I think we might with last year's mob) then they must get games into them and not let them rot on the vine. Talented kids should not have to wait until their third and fourth years to get a run of games.
Early days with 4 rounds and a final series to come.
At this point Aarts, Caddy, Edwards,
Lambert, Martyn, Parker and Jack are outs, with the working of trades for Castagna Graham and Nankervis on the table.
Cotchin still to decide.
One of Hopper or Taranto a target, together with Hollands at GC.
Best available tall KPP to be taken at draft.

We currently have draft picks 9, 19 and 27. Caddy, Lambert and Parker have retired. Bauer has come in via the MSD and Cumberland will be promoted from the rookie list if he hasn’t been already.
That leaves us with one free list spot and three draft picks. Hard to see how we clear out 7-8 list spots like some people want without trading player(s) for draft picks.

As I understand the rules and feel free to correct, we have to make a minimum of 3 list places available before the draft.
We will also want to bring Cumberland, Miller and Stack off the rookie list and on to the main list all before the draft.
There are then a minimum of 6 list positions that need to be found.
At the other end of the draft we also have as many draft picks as we need, with some gold in the state leagues still there.
Ask Zipper for details.
Rookie upgrades can be included in our 3 if we want them to be. We don't need to promote any of those 3 off the rookie list unless we choose to.
Not sure if you are confusing 2 things. We can extend their contract whilst they are on the rookie list, we don't need to promote them if we don't want or need (3 years only allowed on the rookie list) to.
Other clubs can only bid if we decide to delist and then relist them. I don't think either of Cumberland or Miller have been on the rookie list yet for 3 years, not sure about Stack, he may be the bigger risk but not sure of how many years he has been on the rookie list. He's been on our list for 4 years so not sure of our issues with him, ie. do we need to promote or delist and then relist him. Miller and Cumberland will be much easier.
