A McQualter
R Eddy

Rookie Delisted

L Van Rheenan
J Attard

Rookie Retained

K Haretuku
L Miles
G Chivers

Trade

A Fiora for pick 80+ (similar to King and C Gardiner last year)

[Art Vandelay]

Trade

A Fiora for pick 80+ (similar to King and C Gardiner last year)

The only thing we will get for Fiora, is some second hand witches hats.

[boneless23]

Delisted/Retire:

Harvey, Gehrig, M. Gardiner, Rix, Fiora, L. Fisher, Ferguson, Mcqualter

Keep as depth (although I dont see in top 22 in 2009):

Blake (Mcguire should take his spot), Gwilt, Birss, Eddy, Attard, C. Gardiner

Trade Bait:

Kosi, X. Clarke

Trade Targets:

Short term Power Forward (Hall, N. Thompson only real options), 3rd tall (Corey Jones, T. Boyle, C. Hughes), Midfielder (Kerr, Cousins, J. Bolton, J. Sherman) Back up ruckman (I cant think of any suitable)

This way we simultenously conduct a major list turnover with an eye to rebuild but retain some depth and at least enable us to have a crack in 2009.

[Saintgaz]

The only thing we will get for Fiora, is some second hand witches hats.

They could come in handy. A club always needs witches hats.

would show more mettle than Fiora.

[axcellence]

Can I say Leigh Fisher may be traded rather than delisted? Sydney did express interest in him last year. He may get packaged up with someone else as well (sort of a mirror to last year's transaction for Schnider).

[st.byron]

Retire
Harves
Fraser
M. Gardi

De-list
Fiora
Leigh Fisher
Ferguson

Trade Bait
X.Clarke
Koschitzke

Rookie Elevated
Mini
Eddy

Rookie De-listed
LVR
Glenn Chivers

[Otiman]

WHere is it official that M. Gardiner has retired? I have not seen anything official..

Just a guess, based on reports.

[Batnoe]

one question...

i know we have to have 3 changes to the list and we will probably have 3 retire, but if we trade 3 players (L Fisher, C Gardiner, Ferguson) does that mean we dont have to delist any?

i would hate to trade one of those 3 and then still have to delist 3, in that case it is no good in trying to trade a Fiora for pick 80+ if many people think we should delist him




My predictions

[Batnoe]

[Ralphy]

Retire
Harvey
Gehrig
Possibly Maxxie


Delist
Rix
Leigh Fisher
Charlie Gardiner
ferguson

Trades
Maybe X
Fiora


Rookie Draft
Kyle Mathews
Alex Silvagni

Try to get
Either Ben cousins
Or
Daniel Kerr

if not we need a strong marking forward , brad green, nathan thompson type
a Young defender ( alex silvagni, )
a Pacey Midfielder,) Kerr , Cousins, depends what we have to give up for him

Rookie delist,
LVR - too injury Prone.
Perhaps Chivers not sure on him though....
still young and could be alright.!

keep attard, Goose ,

[Otiman]

I forgot about Rix- Gawn!!!!!!!!

Also has a year on his contract.

Don't think it's worth paying off blokes like Rix and Fiora unless we're going to replace them with high-ish draft picks.

As I said last year - you need blokes to delist next year as well.

[RodKeoghsLoveChild]

Why in the world would anyone elevate Mcqualter?

Is it for his pace? His awesome kicking ability or the way he wins the ball so well?

The guy is a tagger who offers absolutely nothing.

Get rid of him.

[Life Long Saint]

Trade
Fiora
Ben McEvoy
Ferguson

You are kidding, right? You'd trade an 18yo ruckman after one season of developing him. You also have Rix as gawn, M Gardiner retiring and Luke Van Rheenan delisted.

That leaves King and Kosi as ruckmen.

Glad you're not in charge of things.
