    Wonder if itll get to the stage with the calls of Reid to the backline as it did with Goodes back into the ruck causing Roosy to come out and say he will never play ruck again. Can see Sam maybe being a swingman in times of need but to me i think he will be a forward predominantly for his whole career.

    Trading wise if we go for any mature age recruits the emphasis has to be on disposal efficiency.

        Just a few thoughts. I felt that the advantage our midfield had in 2012 was our quick hands and ball movement around the packs. Other teams improved in this aspect and also worked to counter this thus nullifying our midfield strength. We need to come up with some new tricks in the midifeld for next season.

        If Reid is played in the forward line next season then Jesse is surplus. Personally I'd be more comfortable, in losing Mumford and playing Reid in defence. Tippett to play as the backup ruck. I just didn't feel we had the right balance with the 2 ruckmen, Jesse and Tippett. Just seemed to lack mobility. The only problem with losing Mumford is that if Pyke got injured we would be very undermanned. I don't know enough about Naismith to comment on his progress.

            It is imperative that the club retains Mumford. Give him a 4 year contact for he is only 27 and Pyke is 30 next year. In the intervening time hopefully Naismith will progress in his development.

                Rampe has signed a contract extension so he is on the senior list for at least the next two years...'cos there's no way he signed a contract to be a rookie is there?

                    Mummy is a big lad & is injury prone.
                    It would be foolish to offer any more than 3 years. You can see that he can't play in his contested manner for a whole year, let alone 4.

                    I'm with the footy department to make the right call on Mummy. Refer to Bradshaw who was signed for 3 years & took up valuable dollars of our salary cap for the final two years of a 3 year contract.
                    Mummy is giving us a headache on two fronts.
                    Both in dollars & years. I reckon he has 50 games left in his body max! Then you need to ask yourself about the quality he can give us in these games.
                    Refer to the consecutive Hawk games where he polled 2 Brownlow votes in Rd 23 against them but the following week he only got 3 possessions!

                    Leave it to the experienced footy dept!
