The Possible Delistings List: Power and Dockers
Port Adelaide
Fabian Deluca
Nathan Lonie
Hugh Minson
Damon White
Ryan Williams
Michael Wilson
A Grand Final one year, down the bottom area of the ladder the next, it is going to be hard for the Power to figure out what to do. They probably go young, and older players will be delisted. Ruckman Minson has left due to injury, Deluca has been given an extended look at AFL level but has yet to show anything. With Brogan wanting a new contract, and Lade in the SANFL too often, their ruck spot, which has always been a strength, could be a weakness soon. Wilson's long career could be over. White looked like being a regular player but has not cemented a spot.
Fremantle
Peter Bell
Heath Black
Andrew Browne
Josh Carr
Matthew Carr
Paul Duffield
Jeff Farmer
Mark Johnson
Shaun McManus
Brett Peake
Scott Thornton
Luke Webster
Already there have been a few retirements, and some more could be expected. Being the oldest team doesn't mean they need to cut out the veterans, being a team with few wins for the season does. Webster isn't one of the old players, just one with too many injuries. M Carr has retired, J Carr could be someone who is traded and even a delisting is possible. Mark Johnson has not added anything to the Dockers, delisting him would show they are going to go in a new direction. If the Dockers made the smart move of a new coach, they might also set a record for delistings.

Williams nearly made it into the side this week. A young player that did is Farmer, he could also be used in the back line but might be considered the next Michael Wilson, not a Burgoyne replacement. Williams would want to debut soon, and show he can play at AFL level, as Coach Williams seems like he is ready to delist quite a few players.
