| Post subject: 2017 Round 1: Up to 10 new faces. |  |
|
It's hard not to see our team for round 1 having approximately 10 players not selected currently. These may include:
* Fasolo
* Elliott
* Langdon
* Scharenberg
* Broomhead
* Ramsay
* Swan (hopefully)
Father/son Recruits:
* Brown (pre-season form pending)
* Daicos (pre-season form pending)
Possible Recruits:
* 2-3 player trades (eg. Hoskin Elliott likely)
* 2-3 draftees or rookie upgrades such as Keefe & Thomas
Makes it difficult to see how the following players shall avoid being moved on:
* Macaffer (make him Reserves captain)
* Blair
* Witts
* N Brown
* Marley
* Goodyear
* Sinclair (concussion)
* Cloke
* Toovey
* Gault
* Frost
* Golds
A big turnover I know, but desperate times require desperate measures. Reckon a bunch of second round picks may come our way plus some likely player trades or free agency offsets:
eg. Marley direct swap for Ed Langdon or Nathan Brown compo pick of about 35 may then offset a free agency pick up of a Ricky Henderson. For example people!!

Only issue with this is firstly what difference the players who are out will be able to make on the squad. By that I mean, say Scharenberg - looks a good player from what we have seen. Sadly he has only played a few games in the time he has been at the club and so effectively will be like a new recruit.
Just how bad is Eliott's injury? I noted that a journalist on the radio a few weeks ago was saying that it could be career ending bad. I only got the end of the segment so missed who was talking.
I agree with your list of players going out. But i think if they all do, do we have the players of experience to make the eight? only time will tell. I dont think we can afford to get rid of all those players in one go.

| I think Frost has more to offer. Yeah, he's a had a bad year but I still think that he can be very serviceable. |

I don't agree with Marley, Frost, or Cloke, a decent coach would have all three firing.

Cloke's form has been up and down even before Buckley got there, his kicking has been an issue since like forever. I think he has a lot to offer still, I wouldn't be getting rid of him,
Sinclair might be lost to concussion which would be sad after he has shown some good form. I am not sure about Marley, I guess if he wants to go home, then we can look ar something there.

Swan will have retired.
Josh Daicos and Callum Brown will need a half season (at least) in the VFL. |

Little guys can surprise early. Only have to look at:
* Daniel Rioli
* Cyril Rioli
* Isaac Heeney
* Chad Wingard
whom all excelled in their first seasons and became mainstays early on.

Oh it's the "Contrarian" replying again "never posting anything new". Think DeGoey may be 187cm and growing plus not really relevant to a "forward pocket type" discussion.
Again JC "new topic" button top left.
