West is a fair way back at the moment.
While I'm at it what's wrong with Macrae? Has not been firing at all and I'm actually looking for ways to hide him in the team outside the middle at the moment.
Problem with macrae, if he’s not in the guts, where can he play? Doesn’t have the pace needed to play on the wing, and I can’t imagine him half back. Or is it that he just cracks the shits if he’s not getting 90% centre square ?

I'm hoping he was sore and the week off will get him right. Really hoping.

But why 2 years for Garcia? 1 would have done.
And McComb should not have been resigned.

Well done to the boys on their contract extensions.
Seems like Wally will get an extension.
With Jones & Lobb coming in it likely means 5 of the above primary list will depart. More if we trade for any other players like Rowe or another key defender.

Keath has triggered another year. We need 3 for drafting, plus 2 for Jones and Lobb, so which 5 come out? Parker is a Rookie.
JJ, Schache, Butler, Martin, and one of Dunkley, Wally, Duryea, Cordy and West?
The only other way is trading a contracted player like Crozier

Garcia can play. I'm happy for two years.
Also it's good to have you back scary.

Contracted players are traded all the time. They can also be delisted and rookied or paid out.
It is time for Crozier to go.

Garcia was offered a 3 year deal by the Eagles for a bit more coin as well.

If we can work out a trade for peanuts for Crozier to give him a chance of game time elsewhere - great. I'm dead against forcibly paying out a contracted player unless they are somehow failing their obligations. Sends a terrible message to current and prospective players that the club will cast you aside on a whim.

While I agree in principle, list spots are a serious commodity and we need a minimum of 3 after trades and delistings.
Crozier can find another club or take his payment and play VFL.
If we delisted him and played him at Footscray he would have as much chance of being picked up by another club at the end of 2023 as he would by staying on the list and just playing at Footscray.
Either way he gets his money, but the club can use the list spot for someone who could be a worthwhile addition.
Re: Player Contract Status
Really why would West stay. He would have been great last night against Freo. Instead we play VDM and McComb ahead of him after the year of class and grunt he brings to the team. Yes as a young player he needs more consistency but how he is not ahead of these types is beyond belief really. West is made for Finals and as an outsider looking in. He has been treated poorly for a long time.

In fairness he lost his spot after 3 unproductive games and it's not like he was just dropped for no good reason but there are some good reasons for him to stay other than just fighting for his spot.
The main one is if Dunkley leaves there is a full time midfield role available for West.

Agree his form tapered off the last few weeks but Van Der Rubbish had done nothing to get in the team & did nothing once he got in the team. He runs fast, big deal! does nothing with the ball! McCrap big & strong but again does nothing with the ball but turn it over.
Our MC has been infiltrated by haters deliberately trying to bring us down. Can't think of another reason why they love Van der Rubbish & McCrap!

Seems strange that he would have taken our deal then.

List cloggers both of them. In fact, they play like they were wearing clogs.
