This is what I'd like to see happen:
Uncontracted List
Jack Silvagni - 2 years
Paddy Dow - doesn't matter what I or anyone else thinks, he'll either get delisted or a Setterfield type trade (half pack of stale chips)
Lachie Fogarty - 1 year but would consider 2
Mitch McGovern - 1 year on reduced money with triggers for a 2nd year
Tom De Koning - ideally 2 years but acknowledge we may need to offer longer term and on what he shown recently not opposed to that
Lachie Plowman - delist
Caleb Marchbank - delist but consider for rookie spot if he can get through remainder of year unscated
David Cuningham - 1 year with triggers for a second
Sam Philp - delist, possibly rookie
Ed Curnow - retire like to see him captain our VFL team
Josh Honey - delist (sorry bondi)
Sam Durdin - keep for 1 year purely because we lack depth in KPD area
I'm not precious.
Interesting how all of the sudden the bloke who cant kick 35m and was No 1 to be delisted is now a 2 year proposition.
Funny how things change on a week to week basis.
I'd keep Honey over Fogarty, and am quite respectful what Fog brings to the table, but imo he isn't the panacea of form shown by the team of late: I'd give more cudos to the fact he's more experienced, more developed and stronger than the baby midgets we had in there Motlop, Durdin & Fisher, and the return of injury prone Martin and Cuningham turnied that HF line into a winning line. Owies pressure has been great since his return too.
Both Honey and Fog have shortfalls, but the upside is what I'd be investing in.
Fogarty has never had any trouble finding the ball. I also thought his goose was cooked, simply because he couldn’t get past the younger blokes that were going pretty poor. Even still, he’s a year-to-year proposition.
Honey, on the other hand, still looks confused as to whether left comes after right or if he’s missing a step. As bad as we’ve been on the development side, I don’t think it’s them.
