Ok boys trade talk for 2020.
In particular the ruck situation.
Mummy had a good game on the weekend but I am not confident he has a 2020 season in him. It seems like the increase in penalties he is giving away this year is him trying to compete when he is beaten. I also have very little confidence in Simpson- he is just not first ruck material and Fynn might be a good player when he is 24ish, but he is still not dominating NEAFL level on a regular basis so it is hard to see him making the step up if named.
I think if we clear Mumford and Simpson from the list but keep players like Flynn and Briggs, we will have the space to bring someone in who might be on the outer elsewhere. Maybe someone like Darcy Cameron who is relatively untried at afl level but is killing it in the neafl might be worth a shot.
Other more mature options might be someone like Martin up at Brizzy or jacobs who has been pushed out at the crows
