I have just seen that the club website has updated the player lists and numbers.
It all looks to be complete - Josh Saunders has been moved to the rookie list, etc. BUT - Jack Sinclair is still on the rookie list with his old number 40.
Was there a last minute decision not to elevate him to the main list?? I thought that was a done deal.
May be a mistake on site as wiki pedi has him on main list of 40 with the maximum 4 category A rookies and 1 category B, (Holmes) leaving space for only 2 more category B rookies.
OK, it might be that the website update is a quick and dirty solution while the "real" page is still in progress.
It looks like a Dodgy Bros production - The photos of the new players are photoshopped onto a "standard" body and it might be too hard to add another row of photos to the main list page. (There are 13 rows of 3 columns, which equals 39 players.) Thus, poor old Jack is the easy one to leave out.
And most of the bios were written at the end of 2013.
"A strong key position defender, Delaney joined St Kilda in the 2013 trade period to boost the club’s backline.
In 26 games with North Melbourne across five seasons he matched it with some of the competition’s best marking forwards, but struggled for consistent game time behind Nathan Grima and Scott Thompson.
Now a Saint, Delaney will be committed to partially solving St Kilda’s key defensive quandary along with GWS recruit Josh Bruce."
Edit. Even better here.
"In 2014 Carlisle made the move to the forward line, highlighting his flexibility. He struggled at times near goal – kicking only six goals before round 15 – but had a stronger back end of the season. That included a standout four-goal and 19-mark game against Collingwood, before he booted eight goals in a match-winning display against the Western Bulldogs the following week. As one of the club’s young stars, the Bombers will continue to build a side around Carlisle’s strong presence at either end of the ground."
