Always appreciate your posting Miyagi-san!

Kennedy would have been a bargain at 38 but in the end we couldn’t trade out another future and probably needed to hand over a couple of picks in the 50s or package up. However do we need to take a couple of selections in the draft or possibly upgrading rookies?

Always appreciate your posting Miyagi-san!

Most of the time I’m full of though!
I just love this club.

Don’t think we wanted to trade anything else for Kennedy otherwise the cupboard would be bare next year. I’m rapped with Houston and Perryman regardless

[Presti35]

^Me too.

I just thought Kennedy would compliment Daicos and relieve pressure on Pendles/Sidey. Whilst also getting one back for Heath Scotland.

Oh yeah, I wanted Kennedy, would’ve been a good fit for our midfield. And to get one back at the scum lol

Hmm, others like Sullivan, Long will be retained?

[The Black and White Lion]

Yeah so this is how the cookie is crumbling.

I’m surprised re Kreuger and Eyre given their age and versatility but no doubt their bodies have struggled for long periods of time. I hope Eyre stays with the VFL team but would understand if he moves on.

Membrey doesn’t strike me as versatile. Tomlinson does. I was more a fan of Tomlinson before he left GWS.

Wonder who Leppa picks

[warburton lad]

Our current senior list stands at 32 senior players- started the year with 36 players but have lost Murphy, Noble, Richards, Krueger.
We have added Perryman and Houston since season's end.

Our Rookie list was 6 players, but now we have let go Bytel and Eyre.

We can have up to 38 players on the Senior list and 6 Rookies.

This means we can add 4 more senior players (3 of whom must come through the Draft in November)

We can also add 2 Rookies...

I would suggest Membery and Tomlinson will be added to the Senior list perhaps one of them as a Rookie??

Lachie Sullivan has signed a 1-year extension.

I was happy with his performance this year to give him another 12 months.

Melbourne has delisted Tomlinson. We may look at him for defensive depth.

Why not, we can certainly have experience on our list. If we can have Ash on our list for 12 months I don't see why Tomlinson can't be, I know which one would give us a better return in the VFL and AFL.

I'd like to move Reef to the rookie spot and open up his senior spot for a second DFA. Get Membrey and Tomlinson on the list now. Then look at the third guy (Hayes) as a rookie draft selection.
