Shoehorning?
Is that like saying if a player isn't 198cm plus, and built like Tarzan then they are not a Key Position player.
Don't know, never said that.
after all I posted thats what you took away?
Fixed it for you. Happy now? Its still the same delineation, and we will cut from the afl group as well as the none ready group moving forward but there is one important distinction between the two groups. Players leaving the first group were afl ready but not good enough. Players being axed from the second group will be because they arent going to get there with us.
No one expects the Irish to make it, but technically they're key position sized.
I don't know what you want me to say?
You broke down the list into 2 groups by age. You suggesting the young group is the direction that the list management team is focusing on and that we will be ok with this direction based on those players.
That's an opinion.
My opinion is that your opinion would have made a better point without shoehorning people in to back up that point.
The point is the point. The Irish lads are currently talls in that under age bracket. They arent shoe horned in there. They might do a setanta one day, or they might be delisted but this is where our list is at today. You dont like that, and THAT is a you problem.
Yes both older people and younger people will be cut. My point about that was you can't say how good the young group is when some of them will be cut next year. Same point as above, shoehorning people in hurts your statement imho.
I'm not bagging out your overall statement, I'm not asking you to put up a sacked list in just saying listing all of our young players and saying they are on schedule is a fallacy.
Many seem to be hung up on the height (or lack there of) of our fwd line.
Brisbane Premiership Fwd Line
Charlie Cameron 180cm Ty Gallop 194cm Callum Ah Chee 182cm average height = 186.5cm
Cameron Rayner 187cm Logan Morris 191cm Kai Lohmann 185cm
2026 Potential Fwd Line
Hayward 186cm McKay 204cm Moir 188cm average height =190.2cm
Evans 182cm O'Keeffe 202cm Ainsworth 179cm
Then there is:
Jesse Motlop 180cm
Talor Byrne 174cm
Zac Williams 183cm
Brodie Kemp 192cm
I see no issue, just saying.

The heading was...
Developing Kids who are playing ahead or on schedule:
I don't know of anyone, besides maybe thry, who thinks they are 'on schedule'. This is not me vs the club thing, i understand its a free hit. I'm just being honest. I think they're a bust.
Forget who is saying this, and look at the simple facts.
The club has to delist at least 3 players. Will it be all older players who leave? Usually some younger players will get booted as well.
Is it unfathomable that there would be a handful asked to move on?
Binns, Lemmey, White, Elijah, Durdin all left or got pushed this year. There's 5.
If you wanted to include irish rookies next year, you only need 3 more.
Billy Wilson, Flynn Young, Charleson, 2x Campos......could all be on the chopping block if there is no development from them this year.
This is just the reality of AFL lists and list sizes
