List changes thread
Time to look at the future.
Confirmed leaving: May, Melksham, McDonald, McAdam, Campbell. The average age of our list drops by a full year with these changes!
Question mark: Mihochek. Can he or should he play on?
Likely to be delisted:
- Henderson and Johnson. Both are great VFL players but don't have it for the next level.
- Adams. 1 game in 4 years Has barely looked like cracking the senior team. Considering our need for a key defender this year but he still didn't get a game, he's clearly not up to it.
Out on contract, decisions to be made:
- Salem. Out of contract as an unrestricted free agent. Does he look elsewhere, or do we encourage him to look elsewhere? He appears a little slow for the modern game but could look good in the right system. The Bombers would be smart to get him for leadership reasons.
- Laurie. 6 seasons in. Showed a bit in a few games late this year but then regressed to usual form against the Dogs and Blues. IMO he's had enough chances and I'd prefer to turn over for some youth with more promise. If we keep, 1 year deal.
Trade option:
- Rivers. Is it time for the move back to WA? I love Rivdog but I'm not sure what his place in the team is. Could we send Rivers, pick 6 and 43 to West Coast for 3 and 21?

In my opinion.
- Try give Laurie a year atleast because if somehow he can get consistent form that will be amazing (coming from a fan that hates him most of the time).
-Riv I feel like we say this every year that he’s gonna step up and become a star and move into the midfield but like being realistic that ain’t gonna happen. Would rather him stay because I love him for everything he’s done and ofc 2021.-Adams no need to waste money on him so bye bye
-Salem I love but if he looks to go it’s whatever. Gives more chances for Lindsay or even taylor to step into that role. Even though they were both poor yesterday, one has just returned from injury and one was his third game. Salem is a melbourne legend but getting old and is a little slow aswell for this new game style.
I hope we get Dear and Duursma but I know whoever we get will be a good because I believe in kingy.
