Well, since we're all doing the dump/carry/grab list review:
Politely thank for services after they refuse a new contract:
Worsfold - but who knows. Maybe 2014 will be another 2011.
Ask nicely to retire:
Embley - makes too many important clangers despite his intensity at the game.
A. Selwood - too slow, average footballer, we have better options eg. McGinnity.
Nicoski - perma-injured.
Forcibly remove from list:
Dick - perma-injured (same logic as Nicoski).
Shop around:
Sheppard - plays the same game as Gaff, and Gaff is better. Still has the 'potential' tag though.
Smith - I don't know what it is. He's had opportunity, and might bring better value in return. Depends on what a new coach thinks of him.
Listen to offers for:
Brown - he's not Glass, who will probably go round another year. Might be a better option to replace him at the end of 2014.
Jury is out on:
Hams - seems to kill it in the WAFL, doesn't translate to AFL level.
Dalziell - kills it in the WAFL, plays some good games at AFL level, disappears completely in others.
Bennell - not sure if he's worth a rookie look
Butler - might be worth having as the backup. Shouldn't be considered best 25 on this season's form.
Others:
Waters - has currency, but wouldn't accept a trade. Such is the AFL where the players have the power.
Cox - on current form you'd have to think 2014 will be a handover year
Glass - will go around again, someone has to take his role and no-one's really done it.
Draft:
Don't draft beyond the 3rd round unless they are F/S picks or rookie upgrades.
There's a potential 7+ outs there, we should always look at trading up picks and bringing in useful players. A lot of the young WA born targets are being signed up, so we need to look outside the 'go home' basket which netted us Cripps and Wellingham last year.
