Opinion Who Will Be Gone for 2022?

[bergholt]

Pretty simple question - who will be off our list one way or the other by the start of next season?

Multiple choices here obviously. Everyone I haven't included is zero chance of leaving, I reckon.

 

[Mavefromdelburn]

Carlisle, Dunstan, Frawley, Hunter, Lonie, McKernan, Wood. Oh and Robbo.

That's my prediction.

Some have already announced retirements obviously and some have been made public that they won't be offered another contract but the rest are my picks to not be on our list.

I would certainly hope that Kent was on that list, rather than Wood.

 

[gringo2011]

it looks like 27 from 45 are safe and Hanners on top of that who will be listed but probably doesn't play again.

There would be 8 of the guys listed when Lethlean arrived if we lost all the suggestions. Long and DMac probably aren't going to be listed in a another couple of years if we continue the cull either.

Don't disagree, but seems somewhat favoured?

I'd hope they were both out to be honest.

Frawley, McKernan Carlisle retired.

Dunstan, Ross - free agent compo

Battle, Long - traded

Lonie, Clav - de-listed

 

[sasaint]

Frawley, McKernan Carlisle - retired.

Dunstan, Billings - free agent compo

Alabakis, Hunter - de-listed

I don't think we will be able to go very deep on more leaving when you have to find very good/better players to back fill immediately. You can't wait for kids to come in and play a full season. That is why players like Lonie, Kent etc will be retained. Ross will become our specialist tagger. Billings is line ball and his departure will depend on adequate compensation, or otherwise we will match the offer.

 

[Mindtraveller]

I think Clav and Joyce gets saved as Frawley and Carlisle are gone

Did Hanners get reinjured and I missed it? I mean your bet is a good one anyway I guess.

 

[St Plugger]

I've actually been quietly pleased by the way both Clav and Joyce have come along this year. Not outstanding breakout seasons but certainly solid development, whilst holding their own when they've come into the team!

 

[bergholt]

Pretty clear bunch to go

26: McKernan (already retired)
24: Frawley
22: Carlisle (already retired), Dunstan, Hunter
21: Alabakis, Lonie

Then a few more possibles

16: Ross
8: Clavarino
6: Billings
5: Battle
4: Kent
3: Geary
2: Wood
1: Long

And some we think are unlikely to go

Allison, Coffield, Joyce, Ryder

What about Roberton?

Plus Kent to the first group with Hunter.

Then in descending order
Geary
Ross
Wood
Billings

And unlikely
Battle Long Allison Clavarino Coffield Joyce Ryder

Now that Carlisle is gone will we find out why he was so much on the outer? Clearly Ratten had no time foe him whatsoever

 

[borderbarry]

Roberton already retired.

Indeed. I still maintain not playing Carlisle last year cost us some games late in the season. Infuriating stuff.

 

[bergholt]

What about Roberton?

He’s been gone for so long I didn’t bother having him in the poll

 

[MCG-Unit]

For now I went with

Biggie Alabakis
Carlisle
Frawley
Geary (seems like he will get another year)
McKernan
Roberton
More to come.....

I would not be tipping out Battle and probably not Wood

 

[bergholt]

Weird that Kent and Battle have the same number of votes

 

[St Plugger]

It sure is, given Battle [along with Long] gives a fig, tries his heart out and has a bit of "attitude" and Kent just doesn't do anything! [Oh, he does do a good headless chook routine though!]

 

[CaptainRisky]

What's with the people saying Battle will be gone ? So one poster said he wants out , Well its gotta be true then FFS

Fascinating that Wood is so certain to stay - when we signed him I don't think anyone thought he'd be around long.

Played some good footy for us this year. Once again its the consistency issue.

At his age and stage in his career I can't imagine he will be demanding some sort of huge payday so he's ideal depth - that's why I'd be happy to keep him.

Same applies to Kent and the likes of Joyce and Hunter.

He was really starting to hit some form before the back attack
