List Mgmt. The Axe

[Donkey Chop]

Season is cooked. Finals are out of the question. Even if we managed to squeeze in we'd be out in the first round.

North are playing a number of players that won't be there come the next surge up the ladder.

Waite, Hansen, Thompson, Gibson are currently part of our best 22. I just want to get a vibe from the board if people think they should hold their spots or make way for some youth coming through.

 

[Mclovin89]

Thompson and gibbo offer something still.

Hansen should be a depth player.

Thomas teetering on the edge of being finished.

Waite done. Not going to be here next year. Retire

 

[roonskins]

All will go at end of season in my book

 

[nicko74]

None IMO

 

[Roo Beauty]

Gibson the only one, at a stretch. If a similar player like Hibberd, J Williams, etc. can bang the door down soon then he too should be phased out.

 

[lockheed]

We need to keep enough experience for us to be competitive, whilst taking every opportunity to get games into our younger players.

For a start, I'd simply like us to reward VFL form.

 

[Donkey Chop]

I'm thinking about for the remainder of the year, not next year

 

[Joshen]

All should go except Gibson. Maybe Thompson one more year.

 

[ferball]

Before this game Thomas was still leading our average goal assists per game this year. Gibbo just keeps getting better. Given his late start he may play till he's 35 at this level.

Thompson is one of the better defenders in the league at the moment and Hansen... I dunno. he gets a vote cos I wrote him off last year and he's had less bad games than our captain this year.

They were the ones I voted for.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Waite won't get another contract.

Hansen will be retained as depth for a season if nobody exercises his free agency.

Gibson will get another season and likely phased out of the best 22 towards the end of this season.

LT and Swallow will be aggressively shopped around. Possible both will be up in Queensland next season. Good chance if neither finds homes then they will be paid out (Swallow more than LT, I think Thomas will get another chance to prove himself this season).

Thompson will still be best 22 next season as we wait for Durdin etc to mature.

 

[Mr north man]

LOL BIG CHANGES AT NORTH NEXT SEASON MARK MY BEN

Better hit Bunnings and get a very big broom not only players maybe a coach and some new Assistents

 

[75-77-96-99]

ANDERSON anyone. We gave up pick 15 for him remember. NO URGENCY .... NOTHING

Thompson is one of the most frustrating players on our list. He's undisciplined, gives away way too many 50's and stupid frees. Would much rather Nielsen

Ditto

 

[Sheezel2Wardlaw]

None of them on tonight's effort. Thomas because he is contracted unless we can trade him. Cant see swallow going around next year unless its at another club.
Hansen too slow, Waite out of form, will he regain it? Thompson on his last legs.

 

[Psicosis]

Beveridge made 5 changes this week after a poor performance.

Brad has never done that despite us serving up performances far worse then the dogs did.

This issue starts at the top and it's Brads and the match committees continuous decision to play these aged campaigners over our young promising youth which is really stagnating our list development.

I've said it once, i'll say it again - I will happily get pumped, as long as we play kids.

Thats a big call re the most frustrating player. For me at the moment its Waite, JZ and Mason Wood. He does make sopme stupid errors tho. After the suspension he was very disciplined I thought but he hasn't been as sharp the last few weeks.

It sucks that you're right. We have a lot of frustrating players

 

[Reagan Smash]

Play guys like Durdin, Nielson etc and see if they have got the goods to succeed at the top level

 

[nicko74]

Play guys like Durdin, Nielson etc and see if they have got the goods to succeed at the top level

And Hibberd

 

[Benno_900]

Gibson is still our best runner.

Thompson has revived his career in the last few months.

The rest are finished.

 

[shniko11]

Gibbo and Thomo I'd play for sure.

Hansen and Waite i wouldn't.

 

[Roosurgence]

Waite looks shot, Swallow isn't at the level anymore, Hansen is too inconsistent for a player of his experience. Thompson has brain farts but will still be there until Durdin or Neilson grab their opportunity.

Gibson at least provides something that we don't have, run, so he stays.

Time to blood the kids. Let's give Neilson, Durdin, Larkey, Williams, Hibberd, Pruess and co a good run at it and see if they show something?

We have 10 weeks to rotate these guys through the lineup. Plenty of time see what we have to build on. That should be a minimum of two coming in for a minimum of a 3 week block of AFL footy.

If they can hold their spot after that 3 week block then bonus.

Some senior players will just have to make way if they aren't performing.

 

[Power Raid]

North are doing fine. They'll come good again in time
