2014 off-season will be huge (list management)

[rpfc 28,527]

Not sure we have a coach available for giving jack watts his head as Robert calls for!

Should we consider doing a Parramatta and putting 6 or so guys on the fringe on notice that they are finished? Or is that just making things worse?

Making things worse.

Can someone clarify if Davey would be on the veterans list (or whatever its called) if he was to re-sign next season. I think we need to keep him at the moment as we are desperate for players with his foot skills who can play midfield and crumbing forward. It is a type of player we just do not have an automatic replacement for. His form the last few weeks has also shown that he is turning back the clock and is probably one of our most valuable players at the moment.

If he has finally gotten his body right, than we can still two decent years out of him I reckon.

The Vets List is no more, pm.

What they do now is we can pay a vet $100k outside the cap, and I believe it is up to 8 players? It might be without limit.

Anyway, Davey will be considered but if his form and body holds he will be putting himself up there to keep going and he wants to. Having chatted to mate of his who came through up in Canberra a few months back - he has a growing family and he needs to keep playing.

He should be very motivated to keep going as long as possible.

If we are serious we need to get rid of the NQR players and try to trade for some quality. Why would you swap the two best players in the VFL for a couple others from the same comp who are not even as good? If we get rid of Magner and Couch then for Christ's sake let's give up on this crap idea of so called Moneyball players.

We will have some early picks available so if we want to get a good player we are going to have to coax him across and offer up an incentive to his club to trade him. If we start picking up second rate players from minor comps we might as well fold the tent.

Khan Haretuku Plays for Frankston Dolphins Born: October 19, 1989

Playing Height: 198cm Playing Weight: 98kg Position: Forward, Defender

Games: 46

Goals: 47

*Worth noting that Haretuku kicked 30 goals in 18 games in 2012 along with taking 99 marks. Has only just returned from a long injury lay off. He also played his first 12 games in 2010 in defence kicking 0 goals meaning his 47 gaols have come in 34 games.

Not meaning to blow my own horn here but if anyone watched the VFL today you would have seen big Khan bag 6 big ones from Frankston's Melbourne like 29 I50 today.

He's worth keeping an eye on IMO.
