agree with this. you could easily add 7.those 7 are likely the ones to be offered up for trade, i reckon 10 will be abouit it for this yr.
i think depending on what they trade for graham will be kept, hes now doing simmonds job short term as it is.
cousins may be allowed to go around again and tuck based on performance may get a reprieve. all are neither here nor there if they dont go this yr it will be the following.some one else will go this yr take your pick theres plenty to cho ose from and they will be gone soon enough.
it could be 10 this yr followed by 8 or 10 the yr after.
players i would be looking to trade mcguane edwards morton jackson rance tambling polo. all may or may not have some value.
i think hardwick has done most things right its easy to see where hes coming from. but imo yr 1 is the easy bit. we are coming off a spoon i think most thinking people would have cut deep and achieved some sort of improvement
.
at seasons end we will see if hardwick can take hard decisions and do whats needed or we will see if he will be like wallace.
we can all remember 04 surely. a wooden spoon a decent clean out and then silly buggers and no tough decisions made by anyone.
if we operate anything like hawthorn when hardwick was there, and hes using pelchens system of grading as a model there will be little doubt another 8 to 12 will go.
