the list of players who i assume are uncontracted.
batchelor - delist/ may get a late 3rd rounder if lucky.
s edwards - trade/ delist. may or may not have some trade value depending.
king - has a clause in his contract make sure its not met. delist
newman - retire
petterd - just has too many weaknesses in his game. delist.
a edwards - at what 31 and lennon and ohanlon gordon knights hopefully pushing for a game. delist.
helbig - has to improve a fair bit failing this delist.
arnot - borderline atm keep.
dea - has to improve like helbig no improvement delist.
astbury - shown improvement keep.
griffiths - shown improvement keep.
elton - developing junior keep.
mcbean - developing junior keep.
mcdonough - as a sml should probably be showing a little bit more give him time keep.
knights - if he cant get on the park and over injuries delist, if he can keep.
rookies
stephenson - have to give his spot to a junior ruckman.
darrou - well he either does enough to get promotion or we delist him. atm delist.
williams - has to be in the gun desoite injury. show some real improvement keep or no improvement delist.
banfield - probably should be given a chance but his skillset for a small has me already wanting him out.
its not as if atm we have to cut contracted players theres plenty of uncontracted options.
would look to get something at least for the following in trades.
batchelor ?? not sure hes worth anything.
foley - should get something for him.
vickery - if frawley wasnt a f/a would send him to melb in a swap of sorts..some one must see something in this dud. someone will think yep has talent and we can turn him around could get a decent 2nd rounder.
to me id like to cut 6 from the list proper. id be looking at 1 f/a, 1 trade, 4nd picks 2 mature rookies 2 young rookies or similar.
would be targeting players along these lines with some give or take on sml/med forwards defenders.
2 quick skillful more outside mid than inside.
2 big bodied inside mids must be able to kick and work on the outside as well. no snails if possible.
2 ruckmen one junior one 22 23 yo.
2 tall forwards
2 tall defenders.
