This highlights the delistings pretty clearly. If all of these happen it's a huge turnover, plenty of opportunity to go to the draft. (Updated - Wood stays, Clav moved to depth).

Delist/Retire:
Carlisle
Frawley
Lonie
Joyce
Alabakis

Free agents:
Billings
Dunstan

Possibly kept for depth:
Hunter
Kent
Clavarino

They have just signed Wood and I would think they will keep Joyce and probably Clavarino.

Yep when I look at it, getting rid of all our KPP depth is a bad idea.

I didn't but could he have been referring to his renegotiated contract perhaps?

Surely we must keep Clavarino. Hunter can go. Extend Heath's stay via the rookie list.

I would hope our list turnover is anywhere between 6 & 10 players. I'd love to know who they are targeting, the type & age bracket. I'm equally happy they've a vision and plan for the list in conjunction with a game plan.

Hasn't he retired or been told already?

DELIST:

Jake Carlisle
Jack Lonie
Dylan Roberton
James Frawley
Shaun McKernan

PROMOTED OFF ROOKIE LIST:
Callum Wilkie



ASSUMPTIONS:
1. We went into season 2021, 2 senior players short, and recruited 2 in the mid-season draft. Net zero.
2. Must delist a minimum of net three players to take into the national draft.
3. Indicative draft picks: 9, 46, 64,
4. Keeping Billings, lose Dunstan to FA, do not sign anyone during FA period and later sign a delisted free agent (not diluting Dunstan compo of pick 35-40).
5. If we select 3 in the draft, promote Wilkie and sign a DFA, we need 5 net list spots (or 4+Dunstan if he leaves).
6. Lonie re-signed on the rookie list if no-one else grabs signs him.

Good list, appreciate the work :)

Should Dunstan be in the "Changes" list? Pretty sure it is confirmed that he is not being offered a new contract.
That means we will have lost 7, although Heath and Sharman were added mid year so our net less is really 5.

My guess is that 2 more will go, we will draft 3-4 youngsters, and bring in 2-3 mature players.

" Darragh Joyce and Dean Kent have recommitted to the Saints, both penning new one-year deals.


Darragh Joyce and Dean Kent have recommitted to the Saints, both penning new one-year deals.

24-year-old Joyce remained a solid option down back for St Kilda in 2021, playing half of his total career games this season.

“We were really pleased with Darragh’s development over the past few seasons,” Head of List Management James Gallagher said.

"His versatility, competitiveness and athleticism give him the ability to man key posts at both ends, and has seen Darragh rewarded with opportunities in the senior line up this year."

After an injury ravaged first half of 2021, 27-year-old Kent returned to the Saints line up in Round 17, retaining his place for the remainder of the season.

“Dean’s power and strength are valuable assets for us,” Gallagher said.

He has the ability to push higher up the ground as well as create a contest and apply pressure in our forward 50, and we look forward to seeing more of it in 2022.

- James Gallagher.

Joyce joined the Saints as a Category B rookie at the end of 2016, becoming the third Irishman to represent the club. Since making his debut against Melbourne in Round 15 of the 2018 season, Joyce has played a further nine games for St Kilda.

Kent joined St Kilda at the end of 2018 following six years at Melbourne Football Club, where he played 63 games. Since his debut for the club in Round 1 of the 2019 season, Kent has played 35 games in the red, white and black.'


One can only hope that this puts an end to the continual and monotonous talk about delisting these two. Well at least for a year anyway. :D 8-)

Darragh Joyce and Dean Kent have recommitted to the Saints, both penning new one-year deals.

24-year-old Joyce remained a solid option down back for St Kilda in 2021, playing half of his total career games this season.

“We were really pleased with Darragh’s development over the past few seasons,” Head of List Management James Gallagher said.

"His versatility, competitiveness and athleticism give him the ability to man key posts at both ends, and has seen Darragh rewarded with opportunities in the senior line up this year."

After an injury ravaged first half of 2021, 27-year-old Kent returned to the Saints line up in Round 17, retaining his place for the remainder of the season.

“Dean’s power and strength are valuable assets for us,” Gallagher said.

He has the ability to push higher up the ground as well as create a contest and apply pressure in our forward 50, and we look forward to seeing more of it in 2022.

They both deserved another year, Ratts is a big Kent fan.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?
