The case to retain Goldstein, Ziebell and Greenwood next year

[The Nostradamus]

The question for me is more which round do Goldy and Ziebell want their farewell games

 

[DocSholl]

Doesn't Greenwood have another year anyway? He had triggers for 2024 which I assume he has met.

archer is already signed on for next year so thats 1 down

forgot that. Thats good. We are crying out for defenders and I have high hopes for him. Reckon he should play the last month in the seniors.

 

[Moti]

Since when have we resisted the urge to play senior players except Goldy, even if they make the structure worse. Avoid temptation. Cunners (if retiring) and Jack should go, Greenwood stays, Goldy is 50/50 as we have already show a preference for Xerri.

Don't think Cunners is done yet.

He's still got some time to get his strength to a point where he can take the heat from the young boys. They are already being targeted by defensive midfielders.

There's still a 25+ disposal and 10+ contested possession fend off machine in there.

Cunnington & Ziebell, thanks guys, love you so much but time is now to retire.

Goldy gets 1 year but it is a hybrid contract. He is guaranteed 8 games, and the rest he focus on developing and leading in VFL and off field. Stagger his games to help XERI.

Greenwood 1 year. Big body support. Ruck hit out. Super Sub.

Shields 1 year.

GONE:
Hall
Howe
Turner
Free
Mahoney
Spicer
Lazzaro
Edwards
Drury

Captain 2024: Jy (McDonald steps down, has to earn his spot)

In:
Riccardo
Idun
H Clark
2 draft guns

Next.

In my opinion the conditions should be

1. They are in the mix to be picked in the senior team based on form and injuries.
2. When not meeting the form criteria, they should accept that they will play in the VFL team.
3. If playing in the VFL team, their role is two fold, being firstly to guide, direct, mentor our younger boys coming through; and
4. Having an expectation that, being champions of the club (Greenwood not in that category but has been a very handy acquisition over the last two years) they will lead us to a VFL flag. Not the same as an AFL Flag, but hey I wouldn't mind seeing us win a VFL Flag

They aren't conditions. They are, and always should be, bare minimum expectations for any established player on any list.
