2020 List Management Thread  

Posted by: @broadsword

We have to move on a minimum of three players at the end of the season.

Number 1, surely, is Oleg Markov.

Who are the other two?

 

 I would think along with Markov that English and Miller would be in danger.

Houli could retire and Rance is still on our list and will be delisted.

McIntosh and Naish could look for options elsewhere but I’d like Naish to stay but he does perform pretty well each week and doesn’t get a look in. 

coleman Jones another interesting one as no opportunity and Adelaide will come hard for him when out of contract as is SA boy.

You'd like to think MacIntosh is OK at the moment. Ned might be looking for something else to do, though.

So now that the trade and free agency periods have finished the only players we have so far lost with AFL experience are Markov and Higgins. Can understand there motives for requesting trades but must admit to being disappointed at their lack of patience/perseverance for trying to win their way back into the first 22.

I thought Markov had good potential to replace Houli in a year or two and who can tell where Higgo would get to next year after a complete pre season. 

Am I not seeing something??

In RFC I trust. 

@tigeriffic I too am disappointed to see Markov go, but I place Eggmolese-Smith ahead of him in replacing Houli.   He uses the ball so well and is a virtual clone of Bachar.

Im not fussed with Markov leaving, hes 25yo and hardly played, I doubt now at 26yo next year he will suddenly set the AFL world on fire.

Higgins was the bigger loss of the 2 but still a fair way off our best 22 but had time to improve so is the unknown factor.

Im more looking forward to guys like Dawkins, Martyn, Dow, Ross having a huge preseason and pushing to break into that 22

Guys like Baker, Bolton, Balta, Stack should go up another level too

@readie9 Smith was just delisted as well

Miller and Garthwaite get 1 year deals and Miller going to rookie list

@tigerhardwick That's a little surprising as I thought that he was being groomed to step into Houli's role going forward.

Perhaps we'll rookie him?
