Funnily enough weather we had a good yr or this yr the numbers have never differed much for me
me i think we should be looking at cutting possibly 7 from the list proper. this allows for at least 5 new faces through trades f/a and nd with a possible two rookie promotions.
i also think we can use 4 rookie picks. which obviously allows for 2 rookie promotions.
so all up it would be 9 new faces. it would allow us to address some areas in a big way.
personally id be looking for 3 mids, 2 tall fwds, 2 tall defenders 2 ruckmen. 1 sml/med fwd.so thats 10.
if we finish where we are id say we would have some chance at getting sam durdin a kpd. id like for us to try and trade for christian jaksch a kpf. use a second rounder on a player like ryan lim. rookie a ruckman like cameron. rookie a mature state league kpd like sully
but i digress the thread is about cutting and trading players the 9 id have in the gun are.
newman ret.
king ret.
a edwards ret.
s edwards delist/trade may get lucky.
petterd just doesnt have the skills.
batchelor just too many weaknesses hes an in betweener.
vickery trade we have 3 200cm ruck/fwds we dont need all three.
all 7 as far as i can gather are uncontracted hence why they are there in front of contracted players like grigg. there are others like helbig grigg houli knights with injury, ohanlon
rookies
stephenson ret.
banfield delist.
darrou promote ????? people say that hes improved immensely. if he plays and proves himself he could earn promotion.personally i think it more likely he will be cut.
miles promote.
as people can plainly see there is a good case for turning over 9 or 10 players.
what are others opinions on the numbers we should be looking to cut.
