Why would we not keep Aarts on as captain on the VFL team? Has a lot of great traits, is hardworking and courageous and got the best out of himself. Senior AFL football seems just out of his reach and we need some stability in the VFL.
You must think RCD might be shopped and Will Martyn likely cut.

We really only have three decent picks in the draft this year. One first round and two second. No third or fourth round picks.
So it will be interesting what we do. Draft three, promote two rookies and take a few rookies?

Reckon most of the few picks we have - will end up in a trade.
Beside the MSD we haven't really hit the rookie draft for a while. I suspect we might need a few rookie promotions but we will want to maximise the number of rookie spots as we get the first I think $80k outside of the TPP.
I do wonder with the trades whether some of our non core players become parts of trades for either picks or as part of a package for players (eg. Taranto with the Giants).
I don’t see much in Martyn so could see him being cut. But he did miss a good chunk of pre season this year with glandular fever and I personally know how much of a effect it can have on you. Drafted in 2019 and covid ruined his first 2 years then getting struck down with that hasn’t given him much of a chance.
RCD is one I actually rate and see signs in as I have stated many times. Not going to get anything decent for him. Not sure if it’s worth trading him for a 4th rounder at best.
Did OP actually have Ross and McIntosh delisted last year!?
McIntosh!? Delisted? What on earth?!

Cads, Sheds, Lambs departing provides salary leeway to recruit from GWS.
No way known a rival club would willingly pay out the Grundy contract in full, $5 million remaining.
Grundy is a millstone for Collingwood, the contract is a godsend for us.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Except they seem to have given up on him as a mid, and as a flanker he's not going to oust Rioli, Baker, Short etc., especially with Banks and Brown coming along.
He was a good get and is a good size.
Taking into account the illness, (With our older midfield) you don’t want to just cut him so we could offer to trade him to Brisbane and if not we could delist him and rookie him.
Wasn’t there an option to move players to the rookie list or did they scrap that?
Chatter says we want to trade Taranto in.
That’s our off season right there.
Maybe a soldo / Castagna to Collingwood or GWS might help.
Yep, KMac's one of the first selected each week, was the first player Dimma turned to when Tigger got his ribs caved in.
Martyn has been playing the Vlastuin role in the twos and doing a pretty good job of it. They might keep him as back-up/insurance/succession plan for a bloke who turns 29 next year, or they might conclude he's too slow and poor by foot and Brown is a far better prospect. I suspect the latter.
The outside possibility is they return him to the midfield, but again, too slow.

Just on that subject: tigger gets run down knee in the ribs by the port behemoth and plays next week. How tough??
True, but I think we should all be happy that Carts isn't the coach, list manager or even the freaking waterboy at Tigerland.
This sort of emotive response to a loss every now and again, is the realm of Essendon.
Tough as old boots. What a player!
But nah; much rather DBJ or Saad or Sinclair.......................................................
