I suspect there may be a few more changes to the list at the end of this year than I originally envisaged, I originally thought 3, but now it won't surprise me if it is as many as 5 or 6.
Regardless of how many players are moved on though it may not make a big difference if some of the dead wood stay on as assistant coaches, maybe some have got in the comfort zone, and maybe 1 or 2 others were arguably bad choices from the get go.
Re the lightweight player situation, DBJ was listed in the footy budget as 181 cm and 70 kg ( he def didn't look any heavier than that last sunday ) 11 cm taller, but only 3kg heavier than Jake Neade, who is not exactly a pack buster himself, although Neade because of his low centre of gravity can sometimes win the hard ball.
DBJ is just another fringe player on the list who looks ok when running free, but is regularly brushed aside by bigger bodies in the snafl, so what hope would he have against the big boys in the AFL.
For those who want to argue, I doubt he has the frame size to ever get any heavier than about 75-78 kg, so he could regularly be giving away upwards of 10 kgs to his opponents in the big league, plus a significant height difference as well.
As for Sam Russell, there would be blokes who rode in the Great Eastern at easter who wouldn't be a lot smaller than him.
