Yeah, not an easy choice but Eggs is 22 so has some time to improve, but this would be his last chance.

Does he get 1 year or 2?

Interestingly we now have 8 indigenous players on our list (correct me if I’m wrong). I would guess that’s a record for AFL clubs?

Good luck to Egg, he's not soft, but isn't over hard either, and while he's not quiche, he's not slow either.

Houli and short took a while to really embrace the physicality of the game. If eggs can do that he will be a great long term player for us. I’d love to see green get a spot at some point as others are saying.

I would've thought that the Dockers would be up there for having the most too.

Good luck to the Egg.

I think this was the kick up the backside he needed. Obviously worked hard over the summer and gave it a good crack. Clearly changed the coaches thoughts on him.

For us to keep Eggy the rest must've been really underwhelming .
Because if your going to keep Eggy why let Markov leave?
I reckon we have had a really bad off season regarding list management.
Getting rid of Higgins, who also cost us a first rounder only 3 years ago to end up trading it away.
Im disappointed that we didn't use pick 17 (20) to bring in another kid.
Fingers crossed we get to see Cumberland Ralphsmith CD Ross and Martyn play this year

Markov was offered far more money than we could.
Higgins wanted out, Saints paid a fair price for him. No great loss.
Our biggest list challenge is keeping the players we really want and trying to manage the rest. That’s the nature of the equalisation within AFL. Success comes at a cost.
I reckon the club has done an outstanding job with the list.

Fair enough.
I love new kids on the list.
Im shocked the club didn't think the Draft didn't have any quality at pick 17.

Even said it himself: "can't wait to crack in".
