Why bother Pope.

I get the feeling some of our 2015 list who aren't at the club now will be from other clubs.

I dont know why your keeping Gordon and dumping Foley and Knights.  If Knights knee doesn't come good, sure dump him but if it does then I'd keep him.

Gordon did have his chances and got dropped cos he couldn't get the ball, I concede Foley may be past it, he is 29.

Pettard and Banfield at VFL level are so far ahead of Mcintosh   batch and ohanlon at the moment. F W I W.

i kind of see an upside to helbig but its more of a gut feel than anything

I don't rate Gordon, but getting rid of a fit 25 year-old after one season to keep injury prone 29 & 30 year-olds way past their best would be downright idiotic and is exactly that kind of boneheaded list management that holds us back.

Agree - Petterd's the one recycled hack I'd keep ....and I probably wouldn't pee off Banfumbles either, not without at least replacing his pace first.

Gordon is on the cheap and Foley signed a 3 yr contract towards the end of last year and there you have it another boneheaded list management blunder that holds us back.

The RFC forever disappointing the fans since 1982. :thumbsup

Actually, think we're also stuck with Knights for another year aren't we? FMD.

I wouldn't keep anyone who is above 26 years of age unless they are in our top 15 players.

Petterd, Edwards, Banfield etc were drafted for depth, yet our moronic coach says we will stick with our best 22 and wait till they perform.

When other clubs are unearthing players like Hartung, Langford, Langdon, Cameron, Shelton etc, all from deep into the draft or in the rookie drafts. While our rookie list is the AFL's superannuation plan...

if gordon is looked upon as a half fwd id keep 30yo  azza edwards in front of him. why keep less talented worse perfoming players just because they are a bit younger.
if given the opportunity over again to get chapman and it was a choice between him  or gordon id take  32 yr old chapman thanks.
iweather knights works out for us or not, im happy with us taking him and taking a punt that he would get an injury free run. the bloke can play and bloody didnt cost us pick 50 in the nd.

we used pick 50 on 24 yr old gordon when we most likely could have rookied him. that is where he should have been taken.
if you dont rate gordon and hes no good why hang onto him at all. cut the losses and move on.why treat him different to the better performed older players.
