Get the strong impression that we are really in the market for a number of players. I think there will be a fair turnover of players and MM will want to bring in some ready made players and SR will want some talented kids. I can see 10-12 changes to the list.
We need to get rid of the average players that we have persisted with over the past few years.
Possible outs: Thornton, Russell, Bower, Curnow, Joseph, Kerr, Rowe (rookie), Davies (rookie), Ellard, Carter, Heyne, Scotland, Collins.
We could easily trade a ruckman & Garlett. Maybe get something for Russell.
If we can add guys like Cloke/White/McKernan, Cook, Gysberts, Salopek, Caddy, Toy onto our current list plus 5-6 kids I believe that would be a great outcome.
Surely Scotland deserves a 1 year contract?
Also Psych, I reckon that Collins could be one of those players that MM can turn into a really good player. Kicks well both sides, always presents, always looking to get in the play and is courageous. His occasional decision making and execution errors are symptomatic of a guy who doesn't believe that he belongs at the level bc his coach didn't believe in him.
I will never forget his game against Geelong. It was his best game for the club until then. What does Ratts do the following week? Make him a sub. What happens after that? Gets 25 minutes of action, doesn't set the world on fire and it's back to the seconds. Dumb man management.
That's why I said possible. Scotland is 32-33, doesn't play the accountable style that MM likes and has a MAJOR issue coming up in October.
Collins I like, who knows what MM will do but there will be some major changes. I'm just throwing around possibilities.
