True but he has more skill in his little finger than 90% of our list do in total, fingers crossed he comes back and gets as close as he can to reaching his potential.

You mean the fact that he was selected for every game this year, until the situation with his toe became completely untenable?
We probably have the flexibility in this year's salary cap, allowing us to delist 1 of them this year, and pay out their 2022 contract. I'm not saying it's likely - but the option is there.

Yeah... i hate to say it.. but I agree with those here saying there could be a very good possibility we never get to see the potential height young Milera couldve reached.
Will end up only playing the 2 games in 2 years.. its a long time out of the game..
And a Patella is a shit injury to recover from.
Milera’s best asset was his speed and ability to turn on a dime. Will he still have that when he finally gets back?.
Theres some rather large question marks im afraid which is a pity.
Hopefully he can return and have a big impact.. but I wouldnt be putting my house on it.

Maybe the way we have to look at it is that we build our team assuming Milera is not going to ever come back the player we hoped he could be. Then if somehow he does come back strong and overcome injury, it will be a real bonus rather than desperately needed piece of the puzzle

A bigger deal out west.
Pretty much. I'd be looking at getting an outside midfielder with one of our 2nd round picks in this draft.
Based on what I imagine he is/wants to earn and his expected future output (i.e. genuine impact on matches not meaningless stat padding) I think Lynch should be exited this year for whatever we can get for him (down to and including nothing). His list spot and salary are valuable assets that we now need to invest elsewhere.
100% this, and would extend this to exiting Himmelberg (provided nothing changes between now and the end of the year) for anything too. If another club comes looking, take literally nothing for him because being able to reload on another prospect that we couldn't if EH retained his spot is the valuable return.

Yep.. The list spots are gonna be tight for us this year..
Gotta cast off the deadwood and those that arent performing..
Theres a shortage, according to the AFL media, of tall developed “plug and play” rucks at tge moment.. could help us get rid of EH or Frampton.

Wonder if we're even able to pay him out and delist him if there are no takers. The Gibbs sitch means probably not. I think we're probably unlikely to have any suitors for either to be honest. Even Peter Wright - who's everything EH is but a couple of inches taller and a higher rated junior, went for peanuts.
Might just have to reap the seeds we've sown with these contracts
Why don’t we try him as a full time ruck in SANFL. We could find out if he is worth keeping. Himmelberg has so much talent and gets his hands to so many balls but can’t hold them. Is it training or is it confidence? We should try everything we can, best case is he performs and we get a decent pick or he becomes a regular. Worse case is he is crap and we get rid of him for nothing

Interesting approach's by different Clubs ......Rioli's issues were much worse than Stengle ....but ours was a developing club versus a mature list
It's almost like your forwards and backs only need to be vaguely competent if your midfield dominates.
Maybe not even vaguely.
Naughton's a pretty handy target up forward and because their midfield is so loaded, they are playing Bont up there now.
They're a good chance for the Cup this year

Clearly we expected to lose!
It's only his haircut that's handy.
He goes back to a normal "do" and he's only statistically good.
I stand by the cubs decision with Stengle, he must've been told to pull his head in and then proceeded to do what he liked. You can have all the talent in the world but if you don't have the desire to do whatever you have to (i.e keays) it doesn't matter. I have played with a few players who were absolute freaks but chose the gear instead..

Wouldn’t mind us having a dip at Quinton Narkle. Nearly got cut last year thanks to the squeeze at Geelong and always been in and out. Looks to be putting some good footy together but has put contract talks on hold to the end of the season.
Similar knock to Lipinski in that the defensive game probably needs more work. But comes cheaper than Pat and IMO is a lot better inside, better burst, good user and would really improve our stoppage brigade.

Gibbs was because we couldn't fit his $600k salary into our 2020 cap so he had to remain on the list so we could pay him out of 2021 TPP. According to Roo, cap was maxed out 2020 and clears this year. Tex's back end deal is done as is Lynch's big contract. Hopefully we can clear a heap of Sloane's too.
Nothing wrong with a solid constitution
No, it's a football first philosophy v a corporate philosophy. Nothing to do with the list profile at all. We've not changed in this area regardless of where our list has been at. Coming down hard on players is an area where we have been league leaders for a decade and more.
