Must go.......
Daniel Ward - unaccountable, one sided, can't kick, bad decision making...contracted expires at the end of this season.
Paul Wheatley - weak, which is surprising considering his build, easily beaten one on one, trade him at the end of the year...unfortunately, contracted to the end of 2007.
Alistair Nicholson - i can't believe he has played 100 games, very ordinary player, period. Will have to put up with him for one more season...contracted to the end of 2007.
Shannon Motlop - contracted expires at the end of this season....i can guarantee you one thing, he will not be at Melbourne next year.
Simon Godfrey - i like godders but his bad decision making and disposal skills are just not good enough
Nathan Brown - injuries and age are catching up...contracted to the end of 2007, will play one more year.
Phillip Read - who cares if he has mongrel, he can't play football
These among others must improve;
Nick Smith - will get another year but has to do something.
Mark Jamar - still has not proven he can play...can take a good mark, but very rarely does....and is a good tap ruckman, but that is it. Shizen around the ground.
Daniel Bell - ANOTHER wasted early round election (no.14), he has had some mates since 2001....Molan (9), Armstrong (25), Rogers (26), Smith (15), Sylvia (3)????...contracted expires at the end of this season, would not be bothered in the slightest if he left for nothing.
Colin Sylvia - Would definately keep but does not deserve a place in the team at the moment...has been horrible the last couple of weeks...the problem is with Davey injured who do we bring in?...if it comes down to Motlop?...no thanks, id rather sylvia. Has to have a better year next season.
