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.

 

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.

I think his salary still counts hopefully his contract was front end loaded.

Just checked the contract status of the Melbourne players.

Good strategy with McKenna but y waste a rookie pick on him he's perpetually injured. We've never seen him play. If he doesn't play this year we must delist him, if he does rerookie him.

Vanderberg on very thin ice he needs 2 find form quickly or else it's adios.

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
