I wonder if they will move Lucas on.
Seemed to get a match week in week out throughout most the year, then at the latter part of the year got a niggle and didn't come back at all to the seniors.
What we get for him? 2nd Rounder?
What us fans tend to do is to isolate a player here and there to talk about, which is fair enough but the list has to be viewed as a whole.
There will be several players who won't be given contracts until such a time as the trade period is over.
That's just the prudent thing to do considering we're coming from some way back for poor list management in the past two years.
We'll have the first round of de-listees this week and I expect we'll see something like 4 - 6 players named as gone.
We'll then go to trade and see what is possible. Some players may be offered contracts thereafter as they'll know where they stand in terms of their asking price.
We'll then have another round of de-listing which should really be our last. Maybe another 2 - 3 players there.
We'll then know whether we'll hit the PSD and what we'll have available in terms of picks for the ND and the rookie draft.
Considering just how many possibilities may come about for the players we may want to move on, this will be a pretty tricky exercise.
You can't just get rid of ten players and bring ten in. The financial considerations are heavily linked to what we can do.
The good thing is that we knew what we were in for many months ago now. Should hold us in good stead..........................Let's hope.
