olisik 4,060 Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 It’s amazing how poor a shape our list is despite Goodwin saying how good our depth was all pre season. Got 15-20 players not at AFL level. 1 1 Quote
M_9 2,216 Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 If he retires before the drafts we can replace him. Lumumba retired after the drafts that's why we couldn't replace him. I gather it would be a similar situation to Col Garland? But surely his salary still 'counts'. I reckon that was part of the criticism of Franklin's contract - not only that may he not see out the 10 years, but if he didn't he'd still be taking a chunk of their player payments. Quote

WERRIDEE 5,638 Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Just checked the contract status of the Melbourne players. DELISTINGS VINCE, PEDERSEN, BUGG, JOHNSTONE, KENNEDY HARRIS ROOKIES KEILTY, T.SMITH ON THIN ICE VANDENBERG, MCKENNA vandenBerg is only 6 weeks away so hopefully he can prove his worth in the second half of the year. McKenna may get delisted then re rookied. Stretch and Frost are contracted. Quote

If he doesn't play this year we must delist him, if he does rerookie him. Quote

Mazer Rackham 14,972 Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 I'd give VDB a few weeks to find form. He's a good contested mark and can kick a goal. He's the Bugg/ANB we need but don't have 2 Quote
