How many spots do we need to fill on draft night

Just trying to figure out our list at the moment

I think we have 7 delistings/retires

  • Hiiberd
  • Gwilt
  • Cooney
  • Ashby
  • Pears
  • Edwards
  • Wallis

We have incoming

  • Steward
  • Dea (Not done yet)
  • Kelly (Not done yet)

This leaves us with 4 picks to use?
Our draft position is 1, 20, 29, 41, 68, 95, 113, 131

What is with our rookie situation?
Have I missed anything?

I have a feeling there is more delistings to come.

I'm pretty sure it's 40 senior and 6 rookie.

Walla will need to be upgraded to Senior as well. So that'll be one of our National picks. Plus the room for Dea, Kelly and Stewart. So we'll have 2 free spots right now for the draft if my maths is correct. Pretty sure Jacket wants to use our first 4 (at least) on newbies because he likes the draft pool this year. Dempsey and Kommer to go, Smack is in deep trouble too especially with Stewart in.

Wallis was a rookie, so at this point we'll have room for two rookies with Walla transitioning. I feel like Hams might need to look elsewhere unfortunately as well. I like him but no one can make way for him to get a senior spot.

edit: spelling and punctuation

40 senior at max, with 4 cat A rookies and 3 cat B.

Wallis was a rookie.

Depends on how many draft picks we want to use. This year we used 39 out of 40 senior list spots.If you include Walla we used all 40. So we lose 6 but gain 3 which means we can use 3 spots. However, I think that McKenna and Long should be upgraded, which takes us back to 1. I don't know what we do with Mckernan, Dempsey and Kommer but if we get them of the senior list we than have 4 draft picks available.
