    Spot-on. Only one player with a reported post-season op so far (Walsh, shoulder) - that's amazing.
    Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

      McGlynn, TDL. Tommy walsh, + Tippett & Armstrong where will he get a go? Noted the sub suggestion.
      Injuries. He gives a bit of depth and the way the game is going there will be games when players need a rest where he can slot in.

        Was Lynch on our rookie list for the last two seasons? If so, I'm fairly sure two years is the limit.

        I believe we have the option to re-rookie him again in the rookie draft this year.

        Keep in mind, I've probably got the above all wrong.

            I'd just like to wish the five of them all the best for whatever they end up doing next. I'm not sure how many of them will run around again and where that will be but, putting all the speculation and list management issues to the side for a moment, I'd like to thank them for being part of our great club.

              Agree.

                For sure, Everitt won't be going anywhere. In these days of the sub, he's incredibly handy. Can kick the odd clutch goal, too.

                  Good to see everyone thinks Everitt is worth something- and that is exactly my point! Adelaide won't deal with Tippett for nothing, We will have to trade something that is worth something too us (other than draft picks) and something that Adelaide think is worth it. If not one of the 22 from the GF then who?.

                  Thats why i wonder if the cost of getting Tippett outweighs the gain.

                    Ridiculous. As good a person as Moore he lacks the speed required for AFL level football. As bad as Port is, they 'aint completely nutters. That said, I agree that Moore did not pull the plug on his career. He deserves a lot of respect.

                      To be fair looking at Ports list I could make the top 10 in their B&F. Actually a blind, one legged pensioner could get a game there at the moment.

                          I know this is off topic, but what happened to Port? They went from playing in the 2007 GF to an absolute rubble in 2012. Is it a club culture to be blamed or the management?

                                So we've delisted two from the Primary List with one more to come. That may be
                                a player who goes to Adelaide as part of the Tippett trade (unlikely)
                                Jude retiring (appearing unlikely?) or
                                Jesse finding a home somewhere else via a trade for a pick so late in the draft it won't be used anyway, like we did with the Morton trade last year (possible?)

                                If none of those scenarios happen then one more uncontracted player has to go to get us to the three compulsary changes, not sure who is fringish and uncontracted
