Guess you can ignore that. Is Townsend stating that as a fact or as a want?

The CFC website fiesnt doesn’t lie.

Graham and Kerridge no surprise, Rowe is a bit of a surprise.

Lamb here nor there, he's a foot soldier and we have too many already.

But the retention of Le Bois as a rookie is downright perplexing!

Thought he did a solid job considering the back line was under siege all year. Guess we have a lot of youth though that won't get better if they don't play.

Yes, I agree. Maybe he could have played mostly in the 2's ?

IIRC, LeBois and Pickett were superfit aftert the preseason and were impressing the MC. They then got injured and derailed their years. I can only summise they think LeBois has something to offer but its his last opportunity.

Only Lamb may survive as he's been invited to train. LeBois gets another year.

Shame we didn't get Findlayson to replace Rowe. All on Weitering, Marchbank, Jones and Macreadie now.

Id rather have kept Rowe and moved Jones on.  Some of these blokes good chance to be rookied as insurance.

I suspect the changes in the ruck rule is the reason behind some of this, I'm sure tactically it must change the emphasis for talls right across the field. Good rucks who can get control of the football and get a hand pass away will mean far less congestion and a lot more clean snaps(In the words of Gawn!) That will mean you need quick talls who can get structured up in time to mee the fall of the ball. It's probably worked against Rowe and favoured Jones.

I'm presuming in all this that the club has determined that it will back in Weitering as the long term KPD option.

[Robblues]

Surprised with Rowe, though he would be there still. Only really big player we have. , others, well just not there , others have passed them by.

[Blueboy_Benny]

Gee, we need to find a backup KPP defender pretty quick smart?

Or BSOS? 

I reckon it would be worthwhile trying Kerr in Rowe's role.

[Gointocarlton]

Not surprised by any of the delistings, good honest citizens and triers by not good enough for AFL.
I am surprised they are inviting Lamb to keep training with a chance to be rookied (I assume).
The delistings are another step in the right direction IMO, I think that leaves about 9 players on the list inherited by BB/SOS. Gotta keep turning it over in search of the right combination. I hope they give the number 11 to some worthy enough to make it great again.
