I understand and appreciate the "Trengove factor" however there a few blokes on our list that hold no currency and should be shown the door pronto.
However it its a case of the players at least getting a couple of weeks stress Free R&R then good on the club for allowing them that luxury,
Id have a crack at Billy Hartung from the Hawks - quick & skilful and might be looking for greener pastures - If he cant get a look in after Smith on one leg gets picked before him a final ?
Judging bye Roos talk on 360 I would think that announcement wont be divulged until next week on who got the chop. I agree with Nashers appraisal ( Cross, Jamar, McKenzie, Fitzpatrick, Riley, Bail, Terlich) but would be putting a line through Hunt as well as Matt Jones
We just have to keep turning the list over , we need to discard the players that have been broken mentally through years of beatings and also the players that are not up to it. I would like Goodwin to be tapping Roos on the shoulder and saying " lets discard players X Y & Z now and give me a fresh start at it in 2017. With a very shallow draft it may mean that we are super aggressive at the trade table and think a little outside the square but for mine:
Gone:
Bail
M.Jones
Fitz
Garland
Howe
Hunt
Jamar
Mckenzie
Terlich
Toumpas - Re Rookie
Who I would be going for is anyone who is on the borderline of the top 8 teams:
Bastinac
Muzunga
Alex Woodward
Harley Bennell
Horlin Smith
Thomas Bugg
David Mckay
et etc
Couldn't really give a [censored] anymore. If they are not willing to drop players on the back end of some terrible weeks (Dawes) then my care factor is out the window - oh well draft time is only 7 months away
Rich & Selwood are not in my thinking. We need outside polish and line breaking run. Rich is not quick and Selwood is past it. I look at North and they have a host of the same speed / style midfielders and struggle without the dash and carry of Wells ( no evident than this year).
Don't like Aish either has done very little - if cant get a gig in the starting 22 for Brisbane that's saying something.
