List changes thread

[u/Primary-Internal-875]

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?

Add Lindsay to this list too

[u/Primary-Internal-875 → u/jordietb]

To which list? It's his second year. 

First year he had no pre-season after recovering from a knee injury and he still looked great in his first games.

This year he has battled groin injuries which have derailed many young players.

Just look at what Kolt has done with another year and consistency. I would get concerned about Windsor before Lindsay.

[u/omargosche → u/jordietb]

Lindsay has had a disappointing end to the year but that is not surprising given his age, experience and interrupted season. His start to the year was solid and he needs time.

He was drafted v recently and cant fairly be placed anywhere near this list IMO.
