We need to find a ruckman either as a quick fix or someone who can at least provide an option for next year. I'd still look closely at finding a key defender. We have Cloke coming in and we most likely need to find replacements for Jong, Stevens and maybe Hrovat or Honeychurch.
I think we can do five changes easily.
Our first year players haven't been too bad recently either. McLean, Daniel, Adams, Dunkley, Williams playing in the debut years haven't hurt our depth.

But rely on them each week all at once and then you're going to struggle. Take Jong, Hrovat and Stevens out and replace them with first year players. Do we cover the huge amount of injuries that we had? I understand we need to make changes and not sit on our hands but I'm not going to throw players out just for the sake of it. Our picks are low in each round, we don't have a 3rd either so we'd really need another 2nd and at least another 3rd before I'd be comfortable making big changes to an already strong list.

I'm not saying we have to just draft youngsters but I do think we can both draft and trade to improve the list
The fact that we have both Cloke and Crameri coming in minimises and concerns over the depth of the playing list for me

So Minson, Stevens, Hrovat, Jong, Honeychurch.
In Cloke.
4 picks? Or would you cut deeper?
Boyd, Hamling still out there unsigned as well.

Gotta be really careful we don't sway to far one way .

I don't think we lose much if Prudden gets delisted and I'd be happy enough if Hrovat or Honeychurch stays.

Not sure we struggle missing those.
Stevebs played the first half and that was it, Jong pretty much replaced him for the second half of the year, and Hrovat played a cameo role this season at best. So maybe thats one spot in our best 25 (note, not best 22) we need to replace wth depth.
When you consider Webb, Williams and Dale should all be pushing for that same spot in the best 25 then I think we will be right. It isn't as if losing them needs we have to cover the loss of best 22 players.
Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
Anyone starting to feel the squeeze? For argument sake take Hamling, Honeychurch & Smith at their word that they are staying.
Take Minson, Prudden & Koby as gone.
With three picks & Cloke we need four gone. The fourth then comes down to two players. One is Matty Boyd, for one year of probably very good footy, or potentially several good years from Hrovat. If Matty wants to play on JMac has said he's got a contract.
Feels like a squeeze that we will lose someone who may offer something next year.

My gut says we cut Prudden. Maybe end up on Rookie list again.

Yeah I think we'll rookie him as well should no one else want to take him.
Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
SEN said this morning that Hamling has requested a trade to Freo but I thought he had recently signed for two more years?
