We need to be active, our midfield is quite weak after Martin and Cotch. We need a big contested ball winner with a few tricks to give them a chop out more-so than Lynch I would have thought

True. But we are still well within our window.
We needed to lose a few to be able to keep the big ones for longer.

Didn’t really want to leave. Club didn’t want to pay the wage considering limited availability for next season we do have cap issues approximately 1.5 million

Sheil Lobb and Setterfield clear the 1.5 that we needed to clear. Allows the club to focus on Kelly Cogs and co. Think Mumford gets rookied plays every second week in tandem with Simpson. Flynn becomes main ruckman in the twos and gets a few games in the ones in tandem with Briggs. Hopefully Flynn is the long term answer
Cog I feel wants to stay and is likely to lead the club one day, however Kelly could very likely leave end of next year. Potentially losing Kelly on top of Setterfield, Shiel and Lobb is pretty poor I would have thought. If we lose Setterfield, Shiel and Lobb this year, we absolutely need to move heaven and earth to keep both Cogs and Kelly (putting both down on long-term deals) as well as bring in some high end talent through the draft.

I think we have plenty of room left.
Remember this year was a failure for us!! No other way to describe it.
There are a number of efforts that can be improved on. Its not like Lynch is going to help our midfield area
That’s the plan
Think Cogs could become co captain next season.

Losing those players we still have;
Cogs, Kelly, Hopper, Scully, Taranto, Whitfield, Ward.
We also have fwds in Greene, Cameron, HH, Patton, MDB.
And our defense looks great as well.
We nailed the 2017 draft and I have faith in 2108s effort.
It's not doom and gloom by a long shot.

The man deserves it, has all the attributes to be a great leader. Would that be a 3 way captaincy or would one of Ward/Davis lose the role?
I feel like its not so much Setterfield, Lobb or Shiel leaving that bugs me most. It is sad that inaugural players like Shiel want to head back but knowing that in return we will in all likelihood get absolutely dogged on the trade table even though all 3 players are contracted. We can only afford to lose so many top players like Setterfield for 2nd round picks before we are bare in terms of quality youngsters. How we are losing quality local lads for likely cheap is beyond me. Really hope GWS squeeze appropriate compensation out of Carlton. If Carlton somehow get both Shiel and Setterfield for a future 1st, I would be very disappointed in the list management team. I thought the trend would end after we reduced our list but seems other teams are still having a feeding frenzy. Our 1st team still bats quite deep but worried that if the injuries persist, the players in the seconds will be smashed week in week out, creating a poor environment for those playing in the NEAFL.

Don’t mind the Shiel transaction , but he’s our 4th / 5th best mid and we bring in another 18yo gun like Walsh, I think it’s good list management. Makes us better for longer. And we clear cap space for the other out of contract guys.
Setterfield feels a bit stranger. But clearly there’s a view he’s expendable
Still think we are right in the window for a while yet

If Shiel nominates Hawthorn as his preferred destination how do you think a deal will be done?
Obviously the worst outcome for you, but few players want to go to struggling clubs. Substandard senior coaches at both Saints and Blues.

Except most your guys retiring over the next 2 years.
What can you offer? Doubt you'll want to hand over 1st rounders
