Don't expect us to use pick 89, we will sign a FA over the next 2 weeks.

Any mail Chef?

Re: Our list changes for 2013

Happy with those upgrades and equally happy to maintain Jong, Austin and Greenwood. Don't see what Redpath can offer but coaches obviously see something I don't.

No, just a hunch.

Re: Our list changes for 2013

I think we've pretty much nailed our changes this year,

I've got to say I'm impressed with how decisive the McCartneys have been cutting dead wood and - ruling a line through those that could have been persisted with.

We give Skinner and Vez another year to show they are part of the future plans

Upgraded two rookies who deserved it (JJ and Campbell), and given another couple (Austin and Jong) another year to develop

I think we've cut as deep as we would want to in one year, and feel confident that in another year or two our list will be looking a lot better

Wouldn't it then be pick 125 we don't use?

Correct me if i'm wrong but i thought as soon as you pass that's it.
So if we don't use a pick for a FA, then the two rookie upgrades would be pushed up the draft order.


It wouldnt' surprise for us to pick up a FA or use pick 89 for a recycled or mid aged player.

We will probably stick to 4 kids plus hunter maximum.

I agree with this. Shouldn't cut any more this year.

I think Vez, Addison and Cross should have been gone, lucky survivors because of The Eade administration's poor list management over the last several years.

Why would think that Cross is lucky to be still on the list? Whilst he is not as prolific as he once was he still has an important role to play within the team, particularly in the development of the younger guys in the midfield. From all reports he is one of the hardest trainers at the club and sets a glowing example for the younger guys to follow.

Picks 107 and 125 have been used on JJ and Campbell.

Addison and Cross? Wow i would have thought Crossy still has plenty to offer in terms of leadership and setting an example. Agree that our reliance on him will be reduced with the likes of Smith and Stevens but i believe he is still vital to show these young kids the way.

Addison had arguably his best season providing some spark up forward.

Who will be on thier 'last chance' next season other than Vez and Skinner? Is it Grant's last opportunity to show improvement? Other than that i think only Howard needs to step it up a gear. He has been in the system a while now and needs to show something

Re: Our list changes for 2013

I would think that Skinner, Howard, Vez and Grant are the players under the pump this year.

For sure. If there is not much improvement then there spots on the list are in trouble. We have cut quite a few from the list and next year I'd expect a bit more if certain players don't step up.

Re: Our list changes for 2013

I would not lump Howard in with Vez and Grant personally.

You think he deserves more time?
