10-15 Tiger players expected to be cut: Phil Egan
« on: August 07, 2009, 04:28:46 AM »
From Crumden on BF:....

"According to Phil Egan on the Marngrook footy show, there was a mentors meeting this morning at the club. They were told to expect 10-15 players to be cut (or at least that was how he interpreted it)"

Because he needs to be seen to know everything and everyone. Make him feel important.

Maybe there is a message there  ;)

In Phil's mentoring style  ;) ;)

I reckon there will a reasonable number cut but I reckon 10-15 is a bit over the top. I would think 7-8 would be around the mark subjest to trades of course

I doubt very much that 10-15 players will get cut. Thats one third of a list and that will absolutely shatter the morale around the club. Then we have to replace them and i doubt they'll replace all those cut with kids and that will upset most posters about recycling etc!

Atleast 4 senior players will be retired. Look for atleast 4 or 5 delistings and 1 trade out. Im looking 8 to 10 changes. If we bring up a rookie or two then that seems reasonable turnover.

Brown
Bowden
Richo??
Simmo
Johnson
Cogs


Foley-Trade, We have White same player same position. TIME TO GO AXEL SYDNEY AWAITS YOU.
Raines-Trade

MUST GO  PLEASE PLEASE GET THEM OUT OF THIS CLUB ONCE AND FOR ALL
Schulz
Mclovin
JON
Pathetic Petrified
Patterson


If i had my way id throw in King & Edwards as well because who are we trying to kid is he really going to win you a flag. NO!!!

Edwards especially part of the Wallace brigade of skinny little weeds that cannot hurt a fly.

Hughes needs another year but FFS play him in the forward line alongside Jack. What have they got to lose. SFA






Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

I have posted this on another thread but in my opinion 10 delistings is very realistic -

Delistings
Jonhson, Bowden, Simmonds, Petts, JON, Cogs plus possibly Brown and Polak.

Hughes could also be a potential exclusion but given the amount in front of him and his age he will more than likely be retained.

Trades
Raines, Schulz and possibly even Tuck and/or Patto.


With a new coach in all the players would be aware that major changes would occur so long term morale damage is very unlikely. There would be few if any unexpected delistings from the list above.

If White and Foley are the same player, i'd keep Foley. White always makes me nervous.

Contracts to a large degree will determine who goes and who stays.

Unless we can trade Schulz & McMahon then they will be staying ... could pay them out I suppose but it would go into the 2009 salary cap and I am not how close we are to 100%

But I will admit, allowing for trades and de-listings it's very east to come up with 8-10 names to go
