Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Koby Stevens rumoured to want to come back to Melbourne, any interest?

Koby Stevens anyone looks likely to leave WCE

I commented on this about a week ago but got no bites!

I like Koby as a player and think he could do well at another club, but realistically, we don't need him. We have quite a few inside mids and the possibility of another (Hunter).

It's a shame, somewhat, as I think he can play.

Sorry so many names, forgot that you had discussed previously.

Thanks Andrew

Trent Dennis-Lane- he is someone I'd try and get. He has the ability to kick goals and is an ok lead and mark type player. He would complement Dickson nicely.

Peoples thoughts?

A modern day Mc Mahon.

No thanks

There seems to be a bit of support here to get Stringer.

Is it just me, or is anyone else concerned that we're going into 2013 with a raft of players with real injury concerns?

I'm not thinking someone like Cross who hopefully will be fine but rather Cooney, Morris, Williams, Higgins and Gia who looks done.

It is always a major concern especially considering our lack of depth and experience to cover these positions.

IMO Cooney, Morris and Williams are the main concern. Cooney obviously with his on-going problem; Morris well we will see if he has the confidence to get back to his pre-injury level and whether his leg stands up. Williams - well he is just injury prone. He has showed what he is capable of at both ends of the ground. If only he could stay fit.

I don't know about Gia - don't think it is a problem with injuries just that father time is catching up with him. The problem is that he is one of our main goal scorers and is probably still required. Higgins seemed to be travelling well up until his latest injury - wasn't it only a hammy so he should recover from. So not too concerned about Higgo.

Are they linked issues though?

I don't think we should be drafting with a view predominately on 2013 performance by our draftees.

Cooney's long term future must be in doubt. Williams has been injury prone as long as he has been at the club. Higgins ditto. You would like to think Morris will return but given the extent of his injury and age you would have to say that it would be difficult for him. Gia looked a spent force in many of his games this year and you wouldn't think he is going to get any better. These are all experienced players which considering the youth of our team is a major concern.Cross is very durable and you would hope that he will strip fit again.

I'd take Stringer with our third pick (second round) but not sooner

An important point. With the exception of the player Morris, they are all malfunctioning due to component over use and design faults. A decision needs to be made immediately about player Giansiracusa. He may need to be deactivated.

I believe "player Giansiracusa" is contracted. Won't happen.
