45 on the list (max of 44 needed). 36 on the senior list at the moment. Minimum three "live picks" needed.
Plowman/Philp the obvious cuts, Fisher to whoever for a pick for next year. Final spots probably dependent on whether Dow/McGovern/Silvagni want to stay/what compensation we'd get in return. If all three stay, probably re-rookie Marchbank, promote Boyd/Cottrell, use our first pick and call it a day.
Maybe retire Ed and hold a pick for mid season draft too.
Glad to read your thoughts again Galty.
I love it, and its what I've thought all along.
All the crazy talk of dropping 8, 10, 15 players by posters and mad pro Mathieson, and, pro Lyon contingency of Carlton supporters who hadn't allowed more than half a season to play out, nor given some of our injured players a chance to show their stuff or proven to be over their ailments.
The only debate we should have is whether we go for another KPD in place of the out of contract players or not, and use the first pick on a great kid, or part of the trade.
If we can get something for Fisher and Dow and bundle up them up with other picks for points that would get us a decent pick, and upgrade some rookies, that would be it.
If we'd finished bottom four, as we looked like doing, 8, 10, 15 changes would make sense. It just so happens, we're not, and at the same time, there's been Kemp, Cuningham, Dow, Fogarty all come in and show something. TDK looked gone. JSOS has shown a bit.
Not interested in the usual fare that happens to all clubs between 2 and 10 that we're "this close" and adding 1 or 2 established players will be the difference maker, and it rarely ever is.
Other option would be trading out our first round pick this year for a future first next year too, build the cache for the two Camporeale F/S, and just use the Setterfield pick.
