Nietschke has been promised a new contract and KK is contracted.

I'd keep Dunkley as he will be cheap. 

The Wagner's have had enough time on the list.

Jones will retire

Oscar and Hunt should be delisted.

Oscar McDonald? I'll be pretty disappointed if we delist him with no mature key tall coming in to replace him.

I wouldn't jettison McDonald. The Wagners only count as one because Corey is a rookie. So I'd certainly delist Josh.Jones is interesting, depending how close he comes to getting to 300 games, if he wanted to go on to chase it, I'd offer him a rookie spot for 2021. I'd approach KK with the same deal or come to an agreement and pay him out. This scenario opens up 3 places. Conversations need to be had with Jetta maybe same deal/retire.  That's 4 places freed up on the senior list.I'd like to keep Hunt as he has real speed and Smith for thew same reason.  We can then think about which rookies to keep etc.

the Brayshaw vs Viney comparison urks me a bit to be honest, and i know you're just making a point on out and out quality. 

Jack really, is competing with oliver, not Brayshaw. 

Gus is more the inside/outside spreader, he adds something to the contest that Jack Doesn't. 

Viney and Oliver are both out and out inside bulls. 

i think the arguement is really between them, and if the coaches assumptions that both can play in the same team are correct.

All fair point Patches.. in an ideal world they co-exist. Wait and see.

Lachie Hunter would be very nice, lovely user of the ball. and can play true wing.

No way Lachie Hunter fits the Goodwin mould. 
Isn’t he known to be a little bit of an entitled brat?

So I read this week that media are saying we should look at trading Preuss, Tmac and possibly Brayshaw. I’d imagine we would get suitors quite easily for all of them. Would we look at trading one, or all or them if the price is right?

I'd rather the media start providing balanced analysis of who we should be trading in vs trading out in order to make us better.

Trade bait articles without balance are just fluff.

We need back-up for Gawn and Brayshaw is too valuable to trade.

TMAC would be the only one i'd let go. A shade of his 2018 self and too slow to keep up with KPF's if he were to go into defence.

They have NFI.  A team needs depth to be successful.  Especially through the eh midfield and at least one high quality backup to the key posts.  All of those trades would be simply ridiculous unless they delivered better against our needs

I tend to agree, depth is critical. I can’t imagine we will continue with a good run of injuries for too long.

This might sound harsh but i would be trying to convince KK to retire for the good of his health. Frees up another spot on our list and salary cap also.

With the reduced list sizes I dare say he will retire

Crows are desperate so I reckon they will make Jack Viney a big, big offer at the end of the year.

They could offer him Fort Knox.....................he ain’t going anywhere

All this talk about trades when there's only one that will see the most improvement. Out: Goodwin

 In terms of draftingand trading, we need some savvy small defenders to replace the ageing hibberd and jetta, as well as more pace in the midfield and another key forward. Realistically we can't do that in one draft 

?

I could see them going for another backman, in an attempt to put Tomlinson on the wing. Think we still need a legit winger, though, not Tomlinson.

God some of you posters are carrying on like we are a top 4 team. we came 17th last year and are 8th this year with some disgusting performances in that. So a bit of a reality check. 

We need good decision makers across the park as well as more speed, a key forward to replace tom McDonald and a small defender to replace jetta.

polec with north paying some of his wage is realistic. williams/hunter is hopeful id imagine at this stage. Tomlinson will go to the wing next season when petty and hore are fit cant see either of them getting the [censored] after watching what OMac and Smith dished up. TMac would suit essendons needs but wouldnt be worth more than a 2nd rounder imo especially on his current deal. Harmes needs to find a place in the side or he risks getting passed and ultimately dropped

Need to get rid of Tmac while he has some value 

Jacko and Weed are only going to get better and I trust our recruiters to go after who we need 

If we can Trade Tmac for a crafty forward or even some picks then so be it 

I think he needs to move on and we do too

i agree re polec and i hope we're all over zac williams as a possible free agent

i dunno about tomlinson going to the wing or harmes - who just signed a whopping five year deal - needing to find a place; the defensive structure is working with them both part of the set-up

i think t mac has looked a bit better and is playing his role but, agreed, we wouldn't get a huge amount for him and not have to contribute to his contract at his new club

if they do, would we let him walk? if they offer him "enough" we'd be straight back into the first round as compo value, unless we got williams to negate it

that said...i would not be happy at all if we let him go rather than counter-offering as he's restricted not unrestricted

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
