    Fact is if we lose either of Parker or Dawson any gains made this year will be thrown away. You can’t be a feeder team for the Victorian clubs and be successful at the same time

      Who exactly have we been feeding?
      Did anyone watch Rohan last night? Would understand if you tried and couldn't, he was hard to find out there.
      Nankervis we backed the wrong horse in Naismith, but was understandable at the time.
      Nic Newman has had no impact.
      Membrey has been ok in an average side for a while.
      Tom Mitchell we got Unders on. But he's not conducive to the modern game or our progressive style. He's a contested beast but not a good kick.
      Aliir we definitely lost out on. Big Unders on the return. But, we rationalised it by getting Hickey.
      Jetta? Hanners?

      We've had pretty sound list management for a long time. Mates who support other clubs want to storm an AGM or microwave a membership card every second year.
      I'd be surprised if we let Parker and Dawson go. I think they'll get those done. And the management have enough of a track record for us to maintain that faith.

        Next year, we have to give McDonald every opportunity in our AFL team. Unless we go with a 3 tall setup, means that the Amartey / McLean / Reid spot goes to him. Yet we still need a chop out ruck.

        Really need to look at swinging one of Amartey / McLean / Reid back in defence.

          While I like McLean's effort, and think Amartey has a decent chance to make it at AFL level, I completely agree we need to find a way to have him in there. While we might eek another year than expected out of Buddy if his body holds up, we could well and truly be coming into a premiership window with a very young KPF. And McDonald wasn't take at the point in the draft he was to not potentially be a very fine AFL player. Big summer coming up for him, but I want him to be in that team Rd 1 2022.

              Bell might not be up to it . Delist Bell Clarke Gray Rowbottom Ronke Melican Ling

              Wicks probably gets another contract , been good this year but as ive said limited player . Does his role better than anyone , not sure what a career he will have . Same with Mclean

              Reid Sinclair retire , trade Hewett Florent , maybe Stephens , rate him but if he wants out dont bend over for an unproven kid

              Whats the deal with Gould where is he

                I don't mind the thought of Talia - but its a stop gap that just puts off the inevitable need to still find a longer term solution.

                Please take 3 months holiday for everyone's sake from your constant bashathon about RB. We get it that for whatever reason, he is the Devil's sporn in your eyes. HINT - we don't need it being reinforced every 5 seconds. Comments like this just make you look like a fool - he is not getting delisted, no matter how much you hate him.

                If only we could delist members on here.....

                  Delist Rowbottom? You really are a poor judge of footy.

                  That’s the problem with supporters like you who have watched the game for 10min. Just no understanding of it.

                    Hewett; 6 kicks, 13 handpasses, 4 marks, 13 tackles; must keep him. His 2nd half of footy this year has been his best.

                      There’s been the odd person willing to defend you on Rowbottom by saying you only say he needs to get better, or play as a defender, or he’s not an inside mid.

                      I’m glad they can now see, after today’s effort from him, you’re just a weird old crank who clearly got snubbed at the Coogee Bay Hotel when you tried to join him for a beer.

                      I wish I had seen it for my own eyes for the laugh.

                          I really hope we can find a way to keep him, even if it means we have to lose Stephens. Some players should take a pay cut so we can keep the team together. But we have to sign Dawson and Parker as a priority, if choices have to be made about who stays and who goes.

                            We can't delist Rowbottom or Melican, they are contracted until 2024 and 2023, respectively. Looks like RB will be with us for a while. Get used to it.

                              Could do worse than him as a depth player but shouldnt have signed for 3 years that will come back to bite us , he wont go far

                                Dawson didn’t get us back in the game today. Parker did. LP our numero uno for me.
