[Pkbaldy]

FB: Geary, Brown, Dempster
HB: Savage, Carlisle, Roberton
C: Newnes, Acres, Reiwoldt
HF: Billings, Bruce, Gresham
FF: Weller, McCartin, Membrey
Fol: Hickey, Armitage, Steven
INT: Gilbert, Montagna, Dunstan, Ross
EMG: Steele, Stevens, McKenzie

Thoughts??

[Bill Manspeaker]

that is pretty much the same one as mine! where they're all named and everything! the starting 18 is the same, though I have Ross in Armo's spot (well Steven in Armo's spot, Ross in Steven's :P)

I have trouble with the bench cos I don't wanna leave anyone out!

I'd want Steele in, probably over Dunstan, and I feel bad saying that cos I don't wanna leave him out!

finally got some great depth!

[TomK]

Very solid, would be surprised if you guys didn't make the 8 next year

How we stand pre-trades
FB: Geary, Goddard, Roberton
HB: Savage, Carlisle, Montagna
C:   Riewoldt, Acres, Newnes
HF:  Billings, Bruce, Gresham
FF:  Weller, McCartin, Membrey
F:    Hickey, Steven, Armitage
Int:  Ross, Dunstan, Dempster, McKenzie
Emerg: Wright, Webster, Lonie
Depth: Minchington, Sinclair, Templeton, Lee, Freeman, Longer, Gilbert, Fisher, Shenton, Murdoch, White, Pierce, Holmes, Rice
Rookies: Coughlan, O'Kearney

Similar.
Post trade week I'd change my team above by putting Brown at FB, Stevens and Steele both on the bench and relegate Goddard, Dunstan and McKenzie to the depth list.

That's currently 41 on our senior list with 3 to come in with picks 23, 36 & 61 in the draft.
#61 will be for Holmes I think as he has been given a year's contract and has to be added to the senior list. Picks 23 and 36 will give us 43 players meaning at least 3 need to be delisted...
Fisher will be one. Murdoch and Lee are my picks to be the others. I can't see how Murdoch survives. Shelton could be in trouble if we draft 3 newbies in and get Holmes in with our 4th pick.

[Bill Manspeaker]

does that include Delaney, Curren and Saunders? or do we need another 3?

I thought Shenton was a lock to be delisted, but his form in the VFL was really good once he was moved forward. I think he's safe for at least one more year

Fish likely to retire, Murdoch... Lee...

hope Eli gets at least another year. not sure if he will

Minch gets another contract. reckon Luey Pierce gets another one

they might already be signed up. not sure

there'll be some tough decisions to be made in the next few years that not everyone will agree with



Benny McGlynn has joined our coaching panel too! happy with that

Definitely need to cut at least 3 more.
Shenton's form in the 2s was good but might not save him. Eli could be in trouble as we have a lot like him.
Murdoch, Lee and Fisher.   
Pierce is safe I think, developing tall with a recent one year contract. 2017 needs to be a big year for him.

just read Shenton wasn't offered a new contract... so he's goneski

Eli and Murdoch next??

Bad luck for Shenton. My dad was a fan and I loved his endeavour. A good ordinary player if ever there was one.
Might get a crack elsewhere but if he doesn't will be one that dominates at a lower level. Wish him all the best.
Murdoch has to go.
Read somewhere today that Fisher could be staying for another year which would be a surprise but until confirmed he's another candidate to be cut from the list as is Tom Lee.
Has to be some news soon.

Yeah I reckon Fisher will get a Rookie Contract. I do hope we keep Tom Lee... The games he played he was useful... I like him as a defender.
