Delistings and retirements 2024

Preuss - absolutely not. If English misses a game from injury, you can guarantee he'll be sitting next to Preuss in the stands and the rehab group.

Is Mitch Hardie more Barlow or McComb?

More Lachie Sullivan IMO.
Rookie/PSD potential but I'd look at him as a train-on guy we might PSD rather than draft

He's been delisted so he would just be signed as a DFA, wouldn't go through any draft.

Levi Casboult retired, ending an AFL career that spanned 198 games across 15 seasons with two clubs: GCS and originally from Carlton .

I thought he was a terrible kick when he started. Had coaching from the Sav Rocca and he became a decent kick. He was a fantastic mark. Took mark of the year in 2014. I reckon we should have picked him up in 2021, he would have added to our ruck depth. He was delisted by Carlton.

Casboult played 134 games and kicked 156 goals in 12 seasons with Carlton, having been drafted at pick 44 in the rookie draft at the end of 2010. He moved to the Suns at the end of the 2021 season, playing a further 54 games across three years and kicking 59 goals

Having cut Ryp after AOD retired. If we wanted mature free replacements for the small forward there?s two currently:

McHenry: 70 Games, 32.19, nearly 3 tackles a game - sounds like a non scoreboard small like we have
Taylor: 76 Games, 33.23, nearly 2 tackles a game - ditto
J. Jones: 66 Games, 11.3 in 15 games in 2021 as a pressure forward before being moved to HB
Konstanty: Talk he will be delisted; averages a goal a game and four tackles in the VFL;

The Sydney Swans drafted Jacob Konstanty with Pick 20 of the 2022 NAB AFL Draft. Regarded as one of the best defensive forwards in this year's draft class, Konstanty made a seamless transition from the midfield in 2022 that saw him flourish as a small forward. A similar player to that of star forward Tom Papley, Konstanty finished the NAB League season ranked second for tackles (81), while impressing with his relentless work-rate and tackle pressure inside 50. Konstanty is yet to make his debut for the red and white after injury ruled him out for much of the 2023 season.

Well we know Konstanty can tackle - he wrecked Callum Mills shoulder last Mad Monday!

We could pick up Konstanty as a DFA if we wanted to. Question is why have him and Charlie Clarke struggled to make an impact?

I don't know anything about how Konstanty has gone in the VFL but 11 games (7 goals) in 2023 and 12 games (13 goals) in 2024 suggest he hasn't had a clear run injury wise.

Both have had injury problems.
