Just name the 19 players we should keep.

Wouldn't go as far as Chucky....I'd only pee off 24 players* and keep the following:

Cotchin, Deledio, Martin, Riewoldt, Rance

Vlastuin, C.Ellis, Menadue, Lennon, McIntosh

Rioli, Chol, C.Moore, Short, Markov

Miles, Grimes, Lloyd, Yarran, Castagna

*contracts notwithstanding


EDIT: Maybe keep Lambert for depth and give Elton one more year to prove himself.....

Can we just give him the benefit of the doubt? Maybe there was a game in there that wasn't for goal kickers?

How stupid is it that a dude on our list has to be given ANOTHER year just so we can see if he's any good? Talk about poor management

And yes, I know you said contracts notwithstanding and all that so I'm not arguing with you saying this.

Lambert was a good player before getting injured. Taking him time to get his confidence back.

Just like in the movie Moneyball, the club should just trade players like Griff so the coach has no choice and cannot play him. FHO!
Give Harfwit no option other to play the kids.
Same goes for Houli, Ellis, Hunt, Grigg.

Well I said "maybe" and already got rid of at least 22 players, think in that scenario we could afford to give one or two stragglers the benefit of the doubt for one more season....finally showed some glimpses -albeit small ones- last week....one year only though and if he doesn't take real & notable steps, pee him off....

Yeah, wasn't really arguing with you saying he deserves one more year as such. More so the fact that we should already know but instead we throw him around the place and don't give him a solid string of games :banghead

So you'd delist 24 players?
How would you go about replacing them?
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
