Maybe we should run a competition - pick the players that'll be re-signed and for how long.
2004 resigning and goings:
Blumfield,Fleming, Fletcher, Hilton, Houlihan, Nicholls, Dragga (Rookie) - Delisted
D.Kellaway, Rogers, Cambo? - retired
Krakouer, Ottens, Schulz - 2 years
Pettifer, Hyde, Marsh (still as a back-up) - 1 year
Moore - Promoted to senior list - 1 year
Rookie: Foley
Trade: Gaspar, Chaffey, Zantuck?
It's good to see our out and out duds are out of contract at the end of the year.
So I'd agree with MT and say goodbye to - Blumfield,Fleming, Fletcher, Hilton, Houlihan, Nicholls (delist), and Kellaway, Rogers, and Campbell (retire)
That's 9 gone.
Need to Trade 3-4. Chaffey, Kellaway, Gaspar, Fiora, Rodan, Zantuck are the prime candidates.
That's 12-13 gone. Good turnover.
Promote Foley to senior list.
Need another 11-12.
Hopefully have picks 2,4,20,36,52,68,84. That's 7 picks.
Gain 4 picks/players for the players we traded.
Therefore need another 3.
2 uncontracted players in the PSD and can sneak a kid late in the national draft when other clubs pass.
Therefore 11-12 new players
- 3-5 experiences players (2 from PSD, and 1-3 via trades)
- 7-9 young kids. (1 Ruck, 2-3 KPP, 4-5 on-ballers)
