Rioli's injury helps Lloyd I'd think. I reckon Rioli won't play much next year.

what r u on about?

Menadue fits our game plan perfectly and should be looking to play 22+ games for us next year. Magnificent kick and super quick and is getting stronger whilst working hard on the defensive side of his game... keeper

If you look at our GF team, whose spot does Menadue take? I don't see an opportunity there.

I can't really see how he fits our gameplan. Yep, a lot of pace and a good kick (not magnificent), but we are a team that places a premium on winning the contested possession and going long. Not sure Menadue will be a contested ball winner on a consistent nature.

Look, I'd love to see him stay with us and become a great player, I just don't see it. And he has the talent to bloom at another club, just don't think it will be us.

Hampson is contracted so he isn't going anywhere

Who'd want him?

No one  :rollin

Persuade him to retire or just delist him. Why waste our time.

I can see both Menadue and Markov breaking in our team next year.

Given the season we have just had, I assume we are looking to strengthen our squad moving forward.

As opposed to other teams who want to weaken their squad moving forward? :lol

Yeah yeah :)

What I meant was that if you are in rebuild mode you tend to make moves that will cause short term pain for long term gain. Whereas for us it is about the here and now.
