Brisbanes Best 12 Under 24 Year Old Players

[BB67th]

I'd have Lester and Clarke in that top 12 over Robertson and Gardiner.

Good to see all the young talent we have there though, we should be a real force in a few years time! If only we could find a key forward or two....

Probably agree in hindsight and at this stage of development Lester and Clarke are probably slightly in front.TBH the last 4/5 were very difficult to sort out. As you say Golby and Harwood at their bests would be inclusions but both have faltered a little this year but hopefully they can regain form.

At the risk of effecting nrich. Sam Michael - We have to make a decision on him this year as he has now been on the rookie list for 3 years.

The Club player management committee really have their work cut out this year deciding who to cut as only Brownie wiull be a likely retirement unless Ash also  puts his hand up. Not sure who from our list we would delist any ideas Moloney, Staker, Maguire and Raines maybe possibilities?

I think if Leppa doesn't plan on using Raines as a tagger again, he should probably get delisted. Just don't think he's going to help us move forward, and only real use during games was to shut down the opposition's best player, which he hasn't been asked to do this year (and now not even getting named).

Goose I think should stay for another 2 years or so as long as his body holds up.

Staker is in the same situation as Goose IMO, keep him while he can still play. Very useful utility player.

Moloney I'm not sure. He's 30, and with our young midfield, he may not be needed anymore.

[Ringo]

Got no opinions on this myself so just putting out there for discussion.

Goose I think is dependent whether we continue to play Rog forward - Rog atm probably the only real alternative to JB so goose may be fine. Need some experience back to help Dizzy and Clarke.

Staker would love to see continue but he may have to give into his body.

Moloney and Raines are probably the 2 most under pressure apart from Michael.

[BB67th]

I've been a bit surprised with Moloney this season. Last year he was really good for us in the middle, but this year he just hasn't had the same impact for some reason.

I think the young brigade has definitely gone ahead of him, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him delsited at the end of the year. Same with Raines if he isn't tagging.

Raines, Polkinghorn and McGuane should all go at seasons end. Raines is a decent tagger, but I dont think Leppa really wants to use him. The other 2 are just potatoes. IDK if we really want Maguire, he won't retire, but he's not really best 22. We'll also have to take a good look at Lisle. I think his time is up.

On my boy Sammy, It's a tough question. I think that unless he can really do something now, we delist him at seasons end and then re-rookie him (we can do that, can't we?)
