2018 Rd 16: Pre Game Prattle: Carlton vs St Kilda

[kruddler]

Surely we have heaps that we can delist

Define 'heaps'.

Given we are wanting to ADD senior players to our list, delisting senior players for senior players is probably not going to solve a lot. Not too many kids are available to be delisted.
FWIW here are the players we know our out of contract this year.
[glow=maroon,2,300]6 Kade Simpson 2018[/glow] - Keep if he is willing.
[glow=maroon,2,300]39 Dale Thomas 2018[/glow] - Keep if he is willing.
[glow=maroon,2,300]17 Sam Rowe 2018[/glow] - Keep
[glow=maroon,2,300]33 Jarrod Pickett 2018[/glow] - Keep
[glow=maroon,2,300]36 Pat Kerr 2018[/glow] - Keep
[glow=maroon,2,300]46 Matthew Wright 2018[/glow] - I'd probably keep
[glow=maroon,2,300]11 Sam Kerridge 2018[/glow] - Would any replacement on him be an upgrade? 50-50 i think
[glow=maroon,2,300]13 Jed Lamb 2018[/glow] - Given the above, probably gone
[glow=maroon,2,300]32 Nick Graham 2018[/glow] - Lucky to have got this year, hasn't improved, gone.

The following players i cannot get a definitive contractual status on. May be contracted, may not.  :-\
7 Matthew Kennedy - Keep
16 Darcy Lang - Keep, at least give him a pre-season to see what he can do.
18 Aaron Mullett - Delist
24 Cam O'Shea - Delist
27 Matthew Lobbe - Delist

and all 5 rookies can go IMO.

So not including rookies, i think we could MAYBE get 6 out. I'm tipping we will get at least 1 or 2 via trade (free agency/delisted free agent) which means we might have 4 picks.
If we trade pick 1 for 2 picks (or 1 pick and a player) we'll end up with less picks.

Currently we have pick 1, 23 and 26 (68, 73)

How many do you think we would/should ditch? Thoughts on my delisted list?
