I think we'll be cutting the list via trades rather than delistings.
It will be interesting to see what direction we go with. I'd say there is little love now for the traditional 'socks down Bulldog player' that was hard at a contest but not necessarily possessing great kicking skills especially in the midfield. I'd say there is a chance a few of those that we are looking to move on might not have great kicking skills. It might also weigh in on if we keep Matthew Boyd or not

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
I really like what I saw of Hamling against Freo and the last few weeks in general. He seems very much a confidence/head space player but he has the tools. I really like defenders who can take a clean mark and he has that ability.

Happy for Stevens and Jong to seek other opportunities. Have really only been given chances due to Libba, Macrae and Wallis all missing.

I agree. To me we have stuffed up if we haven't put a contract in front of him
Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
On Matthew Boyd from the interviews I've heard and such he would love to play on but the club is yet to offer him a contract.
Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
Yes I saw him tonight saying he hasn't been offered a contract for next year

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
If we're waiting until after the season to finalise Boyd's contract, we must have significant plans for trade week.
Would not be surprised if a big chunk of the above players aren't on our list next year. My guess is the following are gone: Stevens, Jong, Campbell, Minson, Prudden, with Hrovat and Clay Smith also possibles.
Definite keepers are Lynch, Roarke Smith & Hamling.

Bold players are who I think we should move on.
I'm happy to keep the rest, though I can understand moving on Smith in the right circumstances. Campbell I can kind of see but I feel he'll come good with a decent run at it so it'd be disappointing
Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
I hope we offer Boyd another contract, he's all Australian FFS

Campbell is one we keep. We need to see him play more games at AFL level.

Certainly hope he plays on.
When Boyd, Morris and Murph hang up the boots who do we see take over their positions. Marcus Adams definitely I see as a long term player down there.
