junk

I would expect Petty and Baker to step up. However I think J.Garlett has reached his "best before" date. Jones won't last long if he loses his captaincy. Hunt and Petracca need to work their backsides off. Preuss would be very handy and a good relief for Gawn. We get an "a" grade mid.

I don't think we could have beaten W.Coast with Hogan and Lever (assuming Weid/Tyson and Frost are the ones to be dropped),we need more quality players.To expect Gawn to carry most of the ruck work is a big ask. What I find strange is that some of us expected Pedo at 193 cm to help out. In the 2nds G.F Pedo was well beaten in the ruck. One Captain is the only way to go. Players don't want to listen to 2 captains who may have different views.Dropping a player is easier if that player isn't a Captain. As a club we need to make hard decisions ,some players cannot seem to cut the "mustard".

He will end up like Winx (minus 2 legs) .

Were the sides the doggies and the tigers faced better than the ones we might face?

If Hogan goes we will get decent draft picks 2019 which is not bad. Feezing up our salary cap could allow us to get Gaff or possibly Sheilds. Lynch may be possible. Tyson,Kent,JKH,Dion and Garlett could be put on the trade table.

Hannan a poor man G.Ablett snr,perhaps Petracca is the poor man's A.Jakovich, T.Mac the poor man's W.Carey. We have lots of poor man's whatevers but overall who cares as long as we keep winning.

Lockhart would probably get pick up on the senior list. C.Wagner probably end up on the rookie list. White,though a slim chance could get rookied again. All three players are better than Maynard (unlucky to be mentioned due to injury),Keilty and T.Smith. McKenna and/or J.Wagner may also end up rookies. Having said that,Keilty could be placed on the senoir list but not T.Smith who I believe has not done enough. Kent may be traded to Freo for currency. Bugg possibly keep,may surprise next year.King ,Flip,Dion and possibly JKH (trade) will be gone.Vince and Balic(a minchie type pickup) retires. Lewis could retire and may end up with coaching role. As a far fetched idea G.Lok (casey) may end up on the rookie list.Pedo will be delisted.

No way,every team picks up a spud or two.............................We got Sylvia ,then it was freo's turn. We got Doupas,then it was port's turn.

Not going to happen hwever he may swap end of the ground next year.

hunt and harmes- both were late picks,possibly backups to brayshaw and petracca.

could rotate him from chb to a forward flank position.

perhaps juddy celebrated carlton getting another no.1 draft pick!!!!!!!.

Spargo to be replaced by Bugg (may be his last chance.),Keilty could be a surprise.

Not sure on Kent,seems to be back in favour v west coast. JKH can't seem to produce the goods and on that basis Dion could be saved. Garlett has lost the plot. Flippa may be saved at the expense of King. Bernie gone. Pedo will be gone or rookied. Tyson will be trade. T.Smith re rookied. White from Casey could be rookied same for Lockhart. Keilty possible promotion(?) Maynard delist

I think Garlett's and JKH time is up. Neither can seem to be consistent.

S.O.N.S, injuries v close games, is a valid point. BUT who would get the flick v west coast ?

If the weed does well against west coast and gws as a forward/ruckman then would it make sense to trade HOGAN?

the weed is not up to it,so hopefully he kick stacks and prove me wrong

it is a no brainer that viney is sole captain. jones can get dropped for sh.tty performances

If some of us think we will be a better side without Hogan then trading him is not such a bad idea. If the Hogan factor is partially responsible for our lack of goals,then why not turn him into a defender.

Kouta could show us how to pay players more under the table. He was involved in the blues tanking.

I am going to stick up for N.Jones, we shouldn't drop him, we shouldn't trade him.HE SHOULD "[censored]"N RETIRE. This bloke lacks the skill to be a captain. PLS NAT Retire now, you will make us all happy.

J.Wagner gone Frost and J.Smith ahead of him. Dion,Flippa,King have become surplus. Vince to retire . Either Jones or Lewis to go if we get Gaff. Kent may be offered as trade bait. T.Smith possible delist, age and lack of game time may go against him.Maynard same as T.Smith. JKH possible. Worth another year Keilty , McKenna , Bugg,Pedo (due to his versatility) Would like to C.Wagner,White and possibly Lockhart given a go. Balic has left the building. So we need 5-6 players

At this stage I would go for Gaff and Collins,we have a few to off load anyway.

Nothing like rolling the dice again (no changes) ,if we lose will the selectors bannish some players for good?.Hopefully we will win so the players can prove themselves. If that is the case we will only bit.h above some players,the rest will see it as a godsend !!!!!
