I don't think we should be trading much at all. No one wants Clarry and Petracca is a must keep for mine. We desperately need a key forward to help out Petty. van Rooyen can't do it can't take a grab, I hold out hope for Kentfield he can take a grab. Miochek is an obvious candidate for the key forward spot I'm amazed we haven't got heavily into Allen the exact player we need. I think we should trade van Rooyen.

@whatwhat say what given you want to keep Fullarton, what’s your proposed changes? To free up the 6 or 7 list vacancies as needed?

i honestly would've thought fullarton was finished, but his last 4-6 weeks have been impressive; let's see how finals plays out

who knows tbh - would doubt that we want to bring in 6-7 youngsters as it's players in that 23-29 gap that we really lack quality, and finding the likes of matt kennedy etc. who are not fulfilling roles at other clubs but can help us like he has footscray has never been our club's forte

i would think one of, if not both, petracca and oliver should be traded - but are they worth anything given their enormous contracts and lack of ability to impact games in a positive manner?

fritsh and lever have also been mentioned in dispatches

mcvee seems to be out the door, which is a blow

retaining may for an extra year in 2026 appears to be a mistake; if a finals side that needs a key defender to give them that little extra key defender wanted him, he should be out the door

woey 2.0 and pup brown are straight delists, unfortunately, as are hore and billings - verrall and henderson probably should be too

spargo is out of contract and a free agent; he should walk to another club

laurie miraculously has a contract in 2026, as does el jefe and mcadam

plugger mac and milkshake are yet to make comment on their future, but are best 22 players for us, which is an indictment on our development of key forwards and backs

Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by whatwhat say what

@whatwhat say what any prediction on McAdam. I think if we are truly serious and ruthless, then he’s definitely cut.

But Tim Lamb got him the 3-year deal (one of many mistakes) so might stay . He’s contracted but it’s a charity deal that should at least be classified as a tax write off for 2024 and 2025. Will be 31yo at virtually the start of 2026 year with injuries ruining the past two years.
