Would keep Rioli and Bolton. Both contracted. Would love Baker to stay but believe he wants to go. KMAC should retire. I maybe wrong but think Graham wants to leave the club and will go.

Love Dan Rioli, he probably has 2 more years in him, trade him now, he may get another flag somewhere and we get 2 picks somewhere in first 25. Win win

We  need to hit the next 2-3 drafts as hard as possible due to Tassie coming in ...slow & steady's not going win the race....rather be doing it now and be shyte for the next three years than be at rock bottom & trying to play catch up during the expansion...been there, done that got the smashed tv......and at least Yze might play the kids if that's all we have.... :shh.

I don’t know how anyone watching the first quarter against the Hawks could not want to burn the joint down and start from scratch.

I empathise with you, but take the 3 flags (and it should have been 4, ty Mason Cox) and we are where we are, let’s burn the lot and move on with a large brigade of talent

They aren’t indispensable. They have real worth for building clubs - who have collateral in the draft.
Keeping them won’t make a huge difference to our ladder position in the next 2-years.

They have long contracts - which adds value to their trade worth and free up our salary cap space.

We have 3 years to get young talent through the draft.

Let’s do it.

Trade anyone. We need to bank selections before Tassie.

I'd add anyone that is tradable.

Balta Nankervis Vlaustin included.

It is what it is.

If you watched the game today, without all the players that on the list to be traded we wouldn’t beat  even the best VFL sides. Get ready for a long slow ride.

Correct. A “will drop pants for food” approach makes no sense. We have 8-10 players who are experienced enough to help the transition of new kids. Will need to trade and pick up free agents or rookies to support that over the next few years.
Otherwise - we’ll be like the hapless roos

If they pay overs we'd be silly not to consider

Should we pick up experienced campaigners for a year to ease the transition as we seem to be losing  a lot of players. We were too skinny this year next will be worse. Seb Ross anyone for 1 year

Garner from our VFL side is an obvious option that will cost us nothing, ex-AFL, smart player, leadership qualities, still only in his mid-20's , upgrade on the likes of Dow... wouldn't bring in anyone else unless it was for a token late pick or as a d.f.a.....if we can walk a half decent player into the PSD it would be a bonus...I'd imagine we'll also leave a spot or two open for the SSP and try a few blokes out over the pre-season.... :shh

No for me, draft with regards to giving KMac 2 a fair go? Tiger Cubs for 2 years then bang

Not Seb Ross, but open to some experienced stop-gaps.
