Simmonds (retire), Cousins (retire), Polak, Polo, Hislop, Thomson, King, White, McMahon. Nahas also doesn't have a future but I'm not sure if he has a contract or not. There's 10 names just off the top of my head, all not good enough.
i agree with half the names here.
polo, hislop, thomson all struggling. mcmahon definitely has no future at punt road.
cousins i think has another year of him. it might not be first-class footy, but what a brownlow medallist can provide to the young guys both at training and on-field has to be gold.
as for the others...
polak needs to be given just a bit more time before he can be determined a list-clogger and not worth it anymore. i'd still love to see him having another crack at a CHB post, as he has genuine height, strength and can take a great mark. decision-making and especially disposal does lack.
white has been pretty valuable this year. sure, its hard to say whether or not he really has a future, but its definitely not out of the question just yet. we'll wait and see.
king is much maligned, but has put in around 4-5 really good shutdown/tagging roles so far this year, usually as a BP or HBF. if he can continue to have the impact he's having and keep great players to only a handful of disposals, keep him in the side. footskills are horrible but not at all a write-off just yet.
nahas is a difficult one. i've not seen much at all from him this year that i've loved, and he goes missing very often. has some upside, but needs to work on his defensive game, finding more of the footy, and accuracy on goal. not sure if there are any fitness concerns....but the man is young, and i won't be surprised if he comes good and spends a good few years in the FP
all in all this threads a bit of a waste of time, unless we're discussing individual players i feel.
rating lists becomes a bit stupid when we incorporate game-plan, how well the teams are actually doing, how old they are, and where they're going to be at in 10-15 years
