My current:

Retire: Bob, MBoyd and Morris

Delist: Honeychurch, Hamilton,

5 in total - haven't thought about Rookies.

I'd be very very surprised if Morris retired. Another injury, or issues relating to his leg could derail things - but I fully expect him to get one more year after this.

100% agree.

One who I think will either ask for a trade or be forced to find a new home is Tom Campbell.

He'd be crazy not to. He needs a coach and match committee with a more traditional view of a ruck role. We will get bugger all, but the spot on the list is worth it if he's going to play out 16 months at Footscray.

In hindsight, I would have preferred to give Minson another year as a mentor to English/break glass option, and traded out Campbell when his value was higher. It will be a bargain basement deal if we off load him this year after playing Jong and Dunks ahead of him.

Matty Boyd would seem a given.

Too early to tell with Moz and will need to assess in the back end but then I'm sure you agree with that anyway.

Bob is also an interesting one. He has appeared to express an interest in playing on whilst he can. Maintaining his speed and elusiveness will be key. I'd be open to keeping him if he ticks these boxes as his form hasn't dropped off and we are still a very young Team particularly with MBoyd moving on.

Declan would also seem to be a given to be moved on and similarly with Mitch H.
I was curious to read though that in another thread you've backed Mitch to come in this week for Clay. Just seems a bit counter-intuitive to do so although I do agree that Clay doesn't fit, with better options available.

Yep. Best case scenario on his value is now a tiny upgrade of the Saints (our) fifth rounder into an ok draft points position. So maybe circa pick 76 into pick 64. That's an extra 100 points worth if we want to package our second & (North) third rounders together, to pursue Brisbane's pick 19.

I would like to give Mitch a go and see if he is up to it. He has played some good games at VFL level, so reward for effort

On form, it would be difficult to give Dec Hamilton a game - but we have stuck with him for a few years, and would be a shame if he never got at least one chance at AFL level to see how his game stacks up there.

I hope we give Declan at least one game. He has shown glimpses and might be that type of player who improves with better players around him.

I've never really saw much in him up until 2017. What I have seen of him at VFL level has been good. He'll get a few games in 2017

[GVGjr]

From a list perspective, without stating our obvious needs, I want us to go after a legitimate fast, skillful small forward. It's a gaping hole in our list right now and we really lack flair up forward.

Somebody of a Dan Rioli/Orazio Fantasia ilk would be my pick.

Are there many getting around at state or U18 level?

I think we tried to trade up to grab Ben Long last year but the Saints pipped us. I'd say this could be a priority again for us this year

[Remi Moses]

I'm hoping we're looking at Stephen May or Jake Lever
Thoughts?

I would love May.

Everyone will be looking at May.
