Title: The Bottom Six aka The Drop Zone
Post by: gerkin greg on January 15, 2013, 10:29:32 AM: Alright OERites, who are the six SENIOR listed players at the club leading in to the 2013 season that need significant years to survive on the list going forward and why?

#1 being the first out the door, #6 being the closest to safety. Who is going to drop off the bottom?

6. Daniel Jackson – Younger, more talented midfielders pressing for his spot. Last year of his contract.
5. Jake King – Injuries taking their toll. Classier forwards have been brought onto the list. Last year of contract.
4. Aaron Edwards – One year contract. Mature recruit. Will need to make every post a winner, if he gets an opportunity
-----------------------
3. Tom Derickx – Should be nearing maturity. Has done sweet FA since joining, has had injury concerns.
2. Luke McGuane – 9th season. Not best 22. A move to the forward line saved his ass, but that forward line has been added to over the off-season. On a 1 year contract.
1. Matt White – This is his 8th season. Still not best 22. On a 1 year contract. A raft of players coming through that can play his position

Who is in your drop zone? And is this "Bottom Six" indicative of a side with enough depth to play finals?

Martin would want to stay out of trouble this year or he could be headed elsewhere.

Look I agree, but they wouldn't want to show nothing this year with the amount of competition for spots, could find themselves in the Drop Zone with Snipes

Post by: mightytiges on January 18, 2013, 02:09:02 AM: Getting back to the topic ...

Hard to see the first 3 surviving past this year.
1. White
2. McGuane
3. Derickx

The next lot will come from out of contract senior players who could/will probably be on the fringe - Kingy, Nahas, Jacko and Aaron Edwards - and out of contract small/midsized cubs who will need to play some senior AFL footy and show significant improvement and development over the course of the season - Helbig, Arnot, O'Hanlon and Dea.
