You know what, I’d be open to trading most but obviously can’t get rid of everyone.
I’d keep Fogarty, Jones, ROB, Doedee.
I’d test the market with Milera, Atkins, Jenkins, Greenwood.
The rest can stay as we need a team lol.

I would be trying very hard to trade Hartigan, Atkins, Knight & Jenkins... they need to go

Others i am putting on the table to see how much interest/value we can get: Laird, Lynch & Matt Crouch

Keath & Greenwood are gineski already so thats a given.

Add Kelly to that list.
 
My list would be Talia, Brown, Keath, B Crouch, Sloane, ROB, Smith, Doedee, Himmelburg, Jones, Milera, Fog, McHenry, Stengle, McAdam, Scholl, Butts, Hamill, CEY, Laird, Seedsman.

As much as we would like to see the whole list turned over most would be 10-12 players gone this year.
Tex won't go. He will benefit from some quicker ball movement next year.

This year especially with our slow poor kicking backline in Talia, Hartigan, Kelly and a massively unconfident Laird the 6:6:6 rule meant opposition teams sat on our runners and good ball handlers and these defenders will invariably turn it over. I keep Talia as he is our best defender, but we need to find another key defender with speed and some others with speed and good kicking skills. Think we have these in Scholl, Butts and Hamill..time will tell. Is also why I would be keeping Keath.

Our midfield structure needs to change. We cannot have both Crouches in there at the same time and although Matt got 47 touches yesterday, out of the two I would trade him first. He has no right side and burns the ball by foot. Perfect inside player for the Suns as a distributor. We need pace and hardness. Jones in the middle from the beginning of 2020. Need to find a way to get pick 1 or 2 to get one of the two mids in the draft.

Himmelburg as our CHF. Stengle and McAdam in the pockets, Tex FF out of the goal square, no more of this all pushing up the ground leaving no-one in the forward 50.

Think Eddie will retire. Douglas and Otten already have and Mackay should be the next to go, if he thinks he can go around again, delist.

Trade or delist
JJ, Greenwood, Hartigan, Kelly, Gibbs, Sauce, Atkins, M Crouch, Lynch, Murphy.

Don't think the club has the balls to do it, would need to bring in some 22-25-year-old players from other clubs. Can't do everything through the draft.

I totally agree with your comments regarding our backline. Although defensively they do a reasonable job they are poorly skilled back there and hardly any of them create run from defence. I would definately move on hartigan and kelly and i think we should see if there is any interest from other clubs for laird as he might have some value.

what hope do we have when talia, hartigan and kelly are in our back 6? not 1 elite ball user back there.
Talia stays but we need to replace Hartigan and Kelly with players that can use the ball.. hit a target

Lets ne honest we only ever had Smith Milera and Laird who you would trust with a leg, Laird is now the king of high balls, leaving those two only, everyone else is MEH
 
I'd love to get Aaron Francis back here to bolster our backline - he's got a decent leg. Talia, Francis, Doedee next year would be an upgrade on Talia, Hartigan, Keath from this year.

Decent? Would instantly be the best kick in our team, not sure if that says more about him or us though

Did you see Milera's kicking yesterday.
I have serious concerns about him being a bust, but one thing is for sure, he shouldn't be played in defence. Has looked good at times in the midfield

He seems to be very much a confidence player - looks a million dollars when it's up, and like utter garbage when it isn't. Has gone backwards this year, I think. He strikes me as a player who will play very well when the team is playing well, but when it's struggling like the past couple of seasons, he's not going to be the player to step up and lift his side.

Has been playing injured and has been badly mismanaged shifting him around all over the shop .
Next year should be all about the midfield and attacking winger ... back him in and cut him loose .
