Fixter & Sunny - will they survive ?

[Roscoe]

With our list to be soon finalised before the draft the question is will these 2 guys survive the chop ?

We can still keep Vogels on the rookie list for another year

Personally I would like to see Vogels getting more regular games next year. But I wouldn't be surprised to see either of the above delisted and redrafted if the need arises.

Sunny would be very lucky to survive. Fixter could be a great player for us if he can stay fit and would be a much smaller risk than pick number 99 or whatever the hell our last one is.

At least one of them will be cut, and i think that would be Fixter. Sunny may be kept due to the supposed weakness of the draft.

Not if some of the current 'out of contract' players in the other teams elect for the PSD. There are a lot of quality players that may be given a run ahead of these two, but then the 'No DHeads' Policy will come into effect too.

Vogels is a cert to be promoted. You don't keep players who are in the mix to be selected in yr top 22, on the rookie list.

My speculation (and it's no more than that) is: (only) Vogels and Grundy promoted, which means we need one cut to get to the 'mandatory 3 picks' level of 35 players, and that one will be Sunny. And he won't be picked up again by us in the draft.

While I'll admit I don't get to see the ressies play being located in Melbourne, I reckon we will only promote Vogels, keep both Sunny & Fixter and go the minimum 3 picks. The pick up of Richards means we have a further taller defender than last year which means the need for Grundy is not there as much.

With the amount of experience we lost this year through retirements and the most probable retirement of Williams next year I just feel the club will want the experience and more mature bodies of both Fixter and Sunny on the list next year. It just gives us a little more balance and flexibility if we get in to trouble injury wise.
