    GONE
    Sam Mitchell, age 34: Almost certain to retire and join the club’s coaching panel.
    Drew Petrie, 34: Has been valuable because of injuries to Nic Naitanui and Scott Lycett but this will be his last season. Has worked on West Coast’s AFLW bid but could return to Melbourne.
    Jonathan Giles, 29: Journeyman ruckman turns 30 in January and has a significant knee issue.
    Paddy Brophy, 23: Called time on his AFL adventure earlier this year to head home to Ireland.

    IN SERIOUS DOUBT
    Matt Priddis, 32: Has a contract for 2018 but playing on may also mean spending significant time in the WAFL. May opt to retire.
    Mark LeCras, 30: Turns 31 at the end of next month and has battled hip and back problems for much of this year.
    Simon Tunbridge, 24: Back playing reserves for East Perth after LARS surgery but career has been marred by ankle, knee and shoulder issues. His chance may have passed him by.
    Sam Butler, 31: Sole survivor of the 2006 premiership team. Has had a couple of soft tissue injuries again this year. Time may be up.

    PLAYING FOR THEIR CAREERS
    Sharrod Wellingham, 29: Doesn’t have a contract and has been in the WAFL in recent weeks. Has talent but fast running out of time to show it.
    Eric Mackenzie, 29: Has struggled since his 2015 knee reconstruction and finds himself on the fringes now. Touch and go.
    Josh Hill, 28: If LeCras goes he may be kept but has been in and out of the team, with limited impact when in.
    Fraser McInnes, 24: Club’s call on him is likely to depend on how it views its ruck stocks. Has battled for AFL games but may be kept on for depth.
    Eagles in big trouble due to List mis-management. Have only debuted a couple of kids in pass couple of years, lot's of older players way passed it

    Personally, no interest in the above.

    No interest in any of those guys except maybe Tunbridge but I'm an awful hoarder so I'm the last person to ask about list management decisions, I'd still have Les Bamblett on the list. Having said that even I'd manage to make a call on that list of players without too much anxiety.

    Left-field consideration - Kieran Jack.
    Would come cheap, is experienced and may be on the outer if the Swans are getting a warchest together for a Martin bid (if rumours are true, Reid and Tippett are out too).

    He's not huge but is a tough little bugger.

    Sounds like Tim Watson was saying Tippett to the dogs is a rumour, obviously take with a grain of salt we are linked with every tall available as usual.

    Oh no... Well, maybe if it was a Jade Rawlings trade (to North). That is, like we did with JR, they pay a humongous amount of his salary and they actually trade the dogs up the order (Our 38 into their circa 31) just to clear him out. Even then, Rawlings didn't fire a shot at North, but they did get Swallow with the upgraded pick we gave them with Rawlings.

    Otherwise god no. Tom Williams looks like a picture of fitness and physical reliability compared to Tippett. Not to mention Tom Williams & Tippett have had similar impacts of AFL Grand Finals.

    Why would any club (park clubs included) take Tippet? Is he contracted past this season?

    At the right price any sensible club would go for Tippett. The problem is the price, not the player.

    I guess he's been available for selection but his form hasn't justified it.

    He's contracted until the end of 2020 so it's going to be very difficult for Sydney to move him on.

    I hope 17 clubs refuse a trade on him. They've made their bed, through shit conduct to get him there for nothing, they can lie in it as far as I'm concerned. Including losing players to salary cap issues, taking up a spot and being unable to bring in good players because there's no money. This is my preference on Sydney & Tippett.

    Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

    Aaron Young kicked an excellent goal today in last min of Port vs Saints. I wonder what has been keeping him out of the side ? As there are a few players vying for that forward spot , can he play in midfield ?
