I’d be keeping one of Edwards, McMahon, or Cox. All kick goals.

Perkins should be delisted. We now have Robey, Caldwell, Sharp, Durham, and Setters who all rest HFF and are better.

Absolutely Perkins should be delisted, he is the exact specimen of Essington and does not give a fark

Someone would come for Perkins if you told him to explore his options the rest of that list I agree with

I’d keep Nguyen

Swap Tsatas and Artemis with Setterfield and Edwards and this is spot on.

I think these are the guys out of contract?

Keep his name out of your mouth.

Is Artemis out of contract or did he sign for 18 months? doesn’t do much

18 months. But I think it’s fair to say that we shanked that one.

Rosa looks to have shanked a LOT more than just that one imo.

A lot of people seem to really rate Rosa, apart from early picks i think the jury is well and truly out on him.

The Artemis delisting talk is pretty rough. Kid hasn’t even had one off-season and showed a bit at AFL level. His VFL form the last couple of weeks has been poor, but there are so many other candidates who have had a wealth of opportunities and/or have no upside.
