Do that and I'll be ecstatic.
Confirmed and my thoughts…Ryder, Jetta, hardingham, van unen delisted. Dalgleish and Gregory delisted or demoted. If only taking 2 in the draft, that would be enough.
then Dell gone, leaves 2 to 4 spots on rookie list (depending on dalgleish and Gregory). Would be looking at yarran and Wilson. If spots available, would love to rookie Conlon, then look an emergency/backup backman. 3 rucks are enough, would prefer Darcy Cameron to thurlow though.

Would be happy with that as well, Goddard could play if required. Just don't think he'll be available. Don't think cockatoo will be available either for that matter...:(
I just hope we do not recruit a skinny 67kg mid or utility. We need players ready to play.

Which Menadue would you due?

I see your ■■■■(atoo) and Godd(ard) and I raise you 1 tall defender who can push forward and 1 medium defender who can push into the midfield - Sorry - just keeping the lid on!
I said this last year but I'll repeat myself as usual. The rookie draft should NOT be used to stockpile experienced AFL footballers. I know it's a temptation to drop listed players onto the rookie list or leave players there beyond 2 years but I believe it perverts the admirable intention of the list and is counter productive anyway. We've picked up some absolute beauties from the rookie list over the years but it won't happen if we use it to avoid making hard but necessary and ultimately right decisions. If a player has been around a while, ie 2 years, and failed to make a mark, stop kidding yourself and the player and pull the pin. You know after 2 years if they really command a spot on the senior list and if not, stop dreaming and do the right thing, DELIST.
I actually admire Kyle Martin of Collingwood who gave it a decent shot and then said "over and out, I've got a life to live". He made a good call but some players have to be tapped on the shoulder, for their own good.
I think Thurlow deserves a second year, particularly as he has been injured a lot, but bring in 3 new rookies. I hope Long and Tippa get a go but I'm biased and I defer to the club on those calls. They might decide to give others a go and they have a good track record when given the opportunity.
If the "veteran" rookies aren't going to be promoted they should be delisted, for their own good as much as the club's.
I want 2 of: DeGoey, Pickett, Cockatoo, Garlett, Goddard, Menadue, or Lonie
Ahern, Blakey, Lamb (I know people say he’s a bit of a flog but so was Darling at the same age)
North will take Cockatoo with pick 16 if he is available imo.
If Norf takes Nakia then i reckon we should go with Lamb and DeGeoy.
Get on Lamb… those locks are Hird and Heppell like

Does anyone wanna post some of the best phantom drafts from Bigfooty on here? There isn’t a sticky thread like in previous years. I just feel dirty if I go on bigfooty.
Tall and small.
Rookies: Steinberg, Thurlow, Tippa, Long.
Of course I still think it’s insane to only have 2 real rucks on the main list and no depth Kp players, but by bringing in Gwilt and Cooney we’ve pretty much decided that we aren’t fixing the structural deficiencies of the list for another 12 months.
Would be good if we could add a 210cm basketball player as the 3rd rookie B player.
