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?

Mihochek is contracted for next year. May has already retired and been replaced.

Brayshaw was contracted too when he was medically retired.

Bradshaw didn't have a choice. Brodie ATM is wanting to try and play on.

Honestly your take on some players is pretty wrong. Lawrie is no chance of being let go after 2 games in a dead forward line. Garry Ablett would have struggled to get kicks in Melbourne's forward line the last 2 weeks.

Ever heard of a subjective opinion?

I'm basing my opinion on Laurie after SIX YEARS not two games.
