At this stage I would be happy for Bowden, Simmonds, Johnson to give it away.
Hope Cousins can play in 2010.
Maybe give Richo another year out of the goal square as out Al Lynch type
Hope so but Lynch had a wonderful midfield in front of him skillswise so that helps whereas I can't see us rectifying that soon. Would not like his chances though if someone in the next 16 games steps up to the plate however as he may retire.
Simmonds Brown Johnson Bowden Richo. All should go at the end of the year.
New era for the club began today as personally I think Richo won't get back this year.
I think the Hawthorn home game in Round 21 or the Collingwood game most preferably in Round 20 will be the swansong on field for some of these boys and a pre or post game ride in a Toyota Hilux around the G for some others to give us a chance to say godbye as we play W Coast in Perth in rd 22.
That way we can say ggodbye to all of them in one swoop and get on with things. It will be emotional for all of us but it needs to be done.
Collingwood in round 20 is the logical choice for me.
Home game biggest rivals and spoiling their top 4 or top 8 chances to boot as part of a side dish to all the retirees.
