G’ Day Troops,

Some of you may consider this discussion miles too early considering we have only played 8 rounds, whilst for others it can’t come soon enough. Yes I’m talking about the traditional Carlton end of season List Rebalance! I have done plenty of research and ascertained where we are in reference to players out of contract and who has still time to run. I reckon I got most of them correct, but there are a few I’m not certain of. Assuming that we don’t delist any player that still has time to go on their contract, there is still a fairly large list of those OOC at seasons end.

9 - OOC (Out of Contract/Out of Chances end 2006)
Livingston
Davies
Longmuir
Chambers
Bryan
Prendergast
Bannister
Sporn
Koutoufidies


9 – Should Recontract (Contracted end 2006)
Russell
Blackwell
Fisher
Betts
Hartlett
Thornton
Houlihan
Wiggins
Raso


16 – Should Retain (Contracted end 2007)
Walker
Murphy
Kennedy
Whitnall
Saddington
Mclaren
French
Lappin
Teague
Bower
Stevens
De luca
Scotland
Edwards
Carazzo
S o'halpin


2 – Should Retain (Contracted end 2008)
Fevola
Waite


3 – Should Retain (Not sure of Contract Status)
Simpson
Mcgrath
Bentick


2 - Rookies (2nd year - Needs to be elevated or delisted)
Batson
Smith


1 - Rookies International (2nd year - Can be retained or elevated)
A o'halpin


2 - Rookies (1st year – Can be retained or elevated)
Jackson
Flint

44 - Total 2006 List


Assuming that most of the Retirements/Delistings/Trades come from the 9 on the OOC List and possibly some from other lists above then it is possible that we could actually cull as many as 12 players, but I think that it is likely that the figure will be around 10. Possibly one or more of the Rookies will go as well and a few further down in other lists are in danger. Anyway the next 14 rounds will give us all a better idea of who is still going to be wearing Navy Blue in 2007. What think you?

Id drop Batson and pick him up in the rookie draft if still there... i wouldnt put him in the senior list..
He hasnt shown enough in 2 years.

I agree but Batson has hardly played for the Ants..

He doesnt look like he has any sense of urgency.
He seems to have the tools to make it but sometimes looks very lethargic even at training.
I dont think you can do that as a rookie.

Saddington and McLaren are on three year contracts?!

Good Get Jimbo. I got em in the wrong list. My info is they are both on 2 year deals finishing in 2007, but not certain. I will edit it now.

Mmmm, Jason is doing a disservice to the Navy Blue No. 9.

The Geat Kenny, Hicky, men of great courage.

Another reason to be sad. Why couldn't Marc have No. 9

Simmo is on a 3 year contract. 100% I think he started this year from memory.

we've gone through who we can delist but what about players from other clubs coming out of contract at the end of this season im not sure but i think goddard might be out of contract (hes played some good footy over the last month) and i hope the saints win the flag this year so that goddard can have his premiership medal and therefore one less reason to stay at st kilda are there any other big names coming out of contract at the end of this year preferably young players?

After Clarke!

T'was trying to put that behind me, BW
