Agree with this. It’s hard to put a line through borderline players when the coach isn’t known. They often don’t for a long time anyway (ie they leave the delistings late) so it probably doesn’t matter. I dare say right now they are primarily focused on the draft and players from other clubs.Does it make it somewhat more difficult to signal the end of some players, given we currently don't have a coach having a say in matters?
If Simpson chooses to go, it will largely be up to him.
Lobbe looks done and that's fine.
After that?
Lang - Likely gone, but a few good games from here on in and who knows.
Garlett - More than likely gone, but again the next coach may think he sees something others don't.
Thomas - The next coach may want him or may not 50/50
LeBois - Just gone. Three years on the rookie list and won't get a main list contract.
Phillips - If we don't reel in another ready-to-go ruckman, he may get a reprieve. Maybe the rookie list?
Fasolo - I would have said gone, but he's been performing well as a midfielder and......new coach.
Next group -
Schumacher - Surely no issues here
Kerr - Will likely remain, but not 100% as opportunities may not present.
Gibbons - Likely stayer
Goddard - Likely stayer
Cottrell - Likely stayer
DeLuca - Likely stayer
JSilvagni, and Cuningham will certainly get contracts and Casboult may leave and who would blame him?
Point is that dependent on what comes about through the trade period, he may not want too many more newbies as to the new coach, all are relative newbies and 18 year olds will likely not be on top of his 'wish list'
