I hope the club accepts that despite what happens this season, we aren’t going to win it next season with the same team. So, hard decisions need to be made and I’d rather lose blooding younger players, than lose (or more specifically not be a legitimate contender) playing the guys who are very much at the end of their careers. An extra year is a lot and a year wasted in finding out what we have and/or what we need to recruit for.I think Howe will get another year, only because we have a dearth of key/intercept defenders, unless we trade in a back from another club eg. Taylor from GWS or an Eyre really comes on in the second half of the season and plays decent senior footy. I would keep Howe to help fast track guys like Eyre, Jiath, Dean.....
