The Possible Delistings List: Hawks and Swans

July 24th 2008 02:45
Hawthorn

Tim Clarke
Zac Dawson
Beau Dowler
Danny Jacobs
Garry Moss

The Hawks have a young and talented list, but they will need to find a few players to move out. Not only will they have draft picks to add, but a trade could bring in some players and elevating Cameron Stokes from the rookie list might be something they consider. Jacobs has retired. The Hawks do need a tall defender, but maybe Dawson won't be it. Dawson has been used as a ruckmen at VFL level, but Hawthorn have several options there so Dawson's new-found versatility may not be enough to keep him around much longer. The Hawks also need to make a decision on their Beau boys, maybe Dowler can play as a defender and that could keep him on the list another year. Muston just keeps getting injured, but it seems the Hawks will persist with him.


Sydney

Luke Brennan
Jared Crouch
Nick Davis
Peter Faulks
Ben Mathews

Fast approaching is the time when Sydney will have a lot of their important veterans retire, but it may not be this year. Crouch, Davis and Mathews were regular players for the Swans not too long ago but their time to go may have arrived. Davis certainly seems to want out. Nick Davis may not have any trade value, so delisting him may be all Sydney do. Fosdike is also someone who could be under pressure to stay on the list. A year from now the names who could be mentioned as possible retirements will include Everitt, Kirk, Hall, O'Loughlin and Barry.

The Hawks need to come up with at least 4 players to move along. With 3 draft picks to come in, and maybe more, and probably elevating Cameron Stokes.

Contracts don't mean a lot, and Dawson could be moved out with a contract settlement. Moss is a good prospect, but there are a lot of midfielders ahead of him. Dowler hasn't been that great in the VFL lately, last year he had 7 goals in a game, he hasn't been close to that this year. His best for a game in 2008 has been 4.

The Hawks will have to make some moves, as it is the AFL rules that they need to get their list down to a certain number, although if they do delist someone there is always the chance that they redraft them, that is what happened with Thurgood.
