More of a give the kids a go year and prepare them for next year it seemed.
HC I see as a forward pocket mid.
Webb to be a mid forward pocket.
I think they want Webb off a HBF distributing the ball ledge. Although why they bring him into the AFL team and play him anywhere but the spot he plays in the VFL team is beyond me.
Re: The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017
Honeychurch simply doesn't hurt the opposition on the scoreboard.
Webb, for some reason, looks like a fish out of water in the seniors. There must be a reason why he doesn't get picked despite excellent VFL form. Maybe he finds the transition to hard or plays too much within himself. not sure. Certainly has the ability.

Whatever they do it seems silly to groom someone for two three years then when they look like making it to turf them.
Hamilton to me is obviously not going to make it though.

Agreed. But if I were Webb I would ask for a transfer anyway.

I would let go
Honeychurch
Webb
Hamilton
Crameri
Cloke (retain if Redpath goes)
Boyd - retired
Murphy - retired
So that would be 7 from the primary list.
Agree Doc, but I would like to see Crameri retained. Cloke has a contract for another year and we should honour that if he wants to continue.
I would also drop Campbell, he may be tall but if he is not AFL standard, we have to cut our loss.

The way Bevo was talking that if Clokey really wants to play on he will. His heart has got to be in it.

Yep, I think it comes down to Cloke. I do have a gut feeling he may retire, but that is purely a guess.

I think Campbell's position will be decided by the trade period. If we can acquire a ready made ruckamn, I would agree that BTC has not quite measured up to AFL standard regularly enough to retain his spot. If we can't, I don't think Roughy and Boyd are physically reliable enough to be our entire stock of ready to go Ruckmen.

Very much so, if we can't find a replacement or two then we need him to stay.
Re: The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017
You read about Kruezer , but how likely is that? Anyone hear anything more concrete than just the odd word floating around?
Re: The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017
Did anyone actually read something about Kruezer? I'd like that to be true but just assumed it was only here it was mentioned.

I think we were interested in him a couple of seasons back and with him out of contract now the door might be ajar.
I still think it would be unlikely he will leave the Blues

He would be ideal.
Re: The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017
I actually think Campbell shows more than Roughead. I think Roughead gets a wide birth at the club because of the good bloke/leader factor which you have to take into account but outside of the finals last year he has just been a player for mine.
Re: The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017
Crameri not offered a new contract. Disappointed. Wouldn't he have some sort of trade currency?
