Likewise. Thought Rowe would be kept as insurance and perhaps play most games for the NBs and help with the kids. Sorry to see him go.

I see Weiters as a very good long term general in defence. He's just a baby still. He has the tools, just needs more strength, mongrel, and time.
Marchbank is a fantastic intercept marker, he just had a wretched year, and I firmly believe he is a better player than he showed last year.
Jones is a maniac. Dunno if i love or hate him.
If any of them don't work out, we can always trade for another one next year, or the year after.
Or maybe SOS has a pick swap with GC lined up. I read an afl article saying we might swap p1 & next years first, for p2&3 from GC this year. Pickup a small at 2 (Smith) and a tall (a King?). Personally, I'd do that deal, but take Smith & Rankine. We also need a quality small fwd, and he looks alright from what I have seen. Either we convince him to stay a blue after 2 years, or we get 2 first rounders from the Crows or Port.

Rowe is the one I would have held on to. Been a solid defender in almost every one of his 99 games, in a backline under constant pressure.
Then I started thinking, how many key defenders of his size are there left in the league? (Can anyone name a 200cm defender?)
I'm thinking the trend is for more mobility down back.

Reckon you're right, and his disposal accuracy dropped a few % as well.
Okay, another 13 blokes leave the club (though Lamb might be back). How many is that over the past 4 years?
Re: List Changes 2018 - kruddler - 10-18-2018
Simple reason why Rowe was cut was because...
a) He was not contracted.
b) He is 30.
Everyone who was not contracted has been cut (apart from Pickett if my list is correct).
Lamb has been invited to train with us to potentially regain a spot on our list.
The other 3, have not.
Which i don't mind, as he is young enough and offers something the others do not. Something unique as an aggressive defensive forward, or small defender. We are light on for both.
Re: List Changes 2018 - ElwoodBlues1 - 10-18-2018
Jones and Weitering vs the big key forwards....going to be carnage....we need another tall big defender with grunt.
Dont want that banana Hugh Goddard either......
Delisting Rowe is fair enough but where is the replacement for the gorillas....

LeBois should buy a tattslotto ticket. Luckiest man in town tonight.
