Jason Johnson gone and MJ in the maybe ,WTF

My best geuss at what may happen.
MJ uncontracted for 2007 and looks like the game has past him.
Dyson also uncontracted for 2007 and has had his chance.
Bolts gone.
Campo gone.
Hird gone.
Heff gone.
Cole is nearly gone, will get a few weeks to show where he is at.But will have to pull something special out.
Johns, well im 90% sure he is signed for next year.
Bradley , think he will stay.
Pev, depends on how he finish's the year but currently he would be likely to get another year.

I think the number going off the list will be 7 possibly 8.

 

[Mighty Reds]

In my opinion you cannot play MJ, JJ and Peverill in the same team. Two of them you could get away with but not all three, skills are very average.

Gone by the end of 2007 -

Gone -

Mark Bolton
James Hird

Johns
M.Johnson

Seriously consider
J.Johnson
Bradley
Peverill

 

[monty1104]

How in god's name is McPhee in the maybe list? He has been one of our better players this year. FFS, I wish people would look at the big picture instead of 1 game in isolation.

Gone

Why Jason Johnson? his two games back have been good. One of the few players we have who actually runs forward. I doubt he will be going anyway as we signed him for two years, we wont be trying to trade him again.

I guess we will see with Johns but i think they still see next year as crunch time for him.

ant, the list is what i would like to see, not what i think they will do.

You know my views on Johns

As for JJ, i didn't expect him to play well last night, as players who play well first week back in the seniors after an injury, rarely play well second week. I thought he was quite ordinary last night.

I just think that the way he plays the game, bang crash, that he won't have much time left and would prefer to see another young kid in there.
Having said that, you are right he does have one more year, so we should honour that.

As i see it we are pretty much stuffed for a couple of years, so i would like to make the most of low finishes and get as many young kids in the doors.

I know this can have drawbacks also, but i think in the long run it would be best.

 

[Corsairs]

For me
Gone next year -
Dyson - going nowhere
Hird
Camporeale - enough said already
Bolton - please!!
Cole - unless consistently in team from here
And 1 of
Mark Johnson - unless improves from here
Kepler Bradley
Heffernan
Lee

Doubt we'd get rid of too many - value of draft picks below 50 always dubious in recent years. Might only turn over 5 or 6 - certainly don't think 7 or 8 as suggested above. I think Kepler will be given more time due to his size. I agree that we can't have Watson, JJ, MJ, Heff & Pev all in the same side/list - therefore Heff or MJ would be feeling nervous.

 

[Darealrath]

Hird, Campo and Bolton are just about certainties to be gone.

Heff, Dyson and Cole really need to lift to be there next season. I think it'll probably be time for Heff to hang them up. Dyson has talent but really needs to put it together. We need to see Cole more in the seniors to make a decision. For him and Dyson I think it's all in the head.

Bradley will probably be persisted with. I think he's worth 1 more year.

McPhee and MJ could be shopped around though I doubt MJ has much trade value. He's still got good footy in him IMO though so I think he'll stay. Would like to see him play forward though.

Pev might get another year if he keeps his form up but the club are aware his best just isn't good enough any more if we want to be up there. If guys like Lonergan, Hislop and Slattery come on this year then he could be gone.

Johns will probably be kept given the investment in him and the age of Lloyd and Lucas. Would like to see him show a lot more, though playing him as a genuine FF would be better because he seems to get lost up the ground and our indirect style doesn't suit him.

JJ will stay. We'll need his experience and he's still a good player.

Judging by your username, maybe YOU need to learn a bit about the Bombers

It actually wasn't a comeback, as he didn't make those comments about my post.

I'm sorry shall i check with you in the future before i reply to any posts to make sure i meet your approval?

Ever heard of a thing called sarcasm?

Laycock should have been traded prior to the best ever 2006 draft, as I promulgated last November.

Michael or Lee won't go

Why would Neagle or Nash be "on the edge"?

No one would want the "tradeables"

Just sliding into the sixth Fosters Swervyn, the lips and index finger are loosening. Watch out Longy413.

Lee hasn't done or shown anything. There is a reason why he's only played 5 games.

Ditto Neagle.

I like Nash but to be perfectly honest, he's just a dime a dozen half back flanker who gets injured a lot.

Laycock is a ruckmen. Always easy to trade a ruckman.
I'm sure someone would want to take a punt on Kepler whilst clubs close to premiership success or looking for a hard body would always be interested in a Mark Johnson.
