Thank you. Quite a depressing scenario when you look at those signed until 2026. I would say only two on that list who I would consider key starters for us next season. 2027 more promising. End of this season who will we keep on that list? Paull I think. Sasha? Duarte? Will Brian Stay? Not sure about anyone else.

Some players whose contract expires end of next season:
Di Pizio
Edmondson
Feijão
Herrington
Kuol
Ngor
Pavlesic
Roux
Tapp
Wilson

Can't see any of them having a major influence on our fortunes. De Pizio & Tappy the exceptions

 

[Corsair]

The return of Tapp next season is all we've really got to look forward to at the moment.

I’d be cutting loose atleast 6 of them at the end of this season. Maybe 7.

Wouldn't you have to pay out the contract?

 

[FFC Mariner]

Yes - unless someone took them off our hands

 

[Meerkat]

Umm we still have Wilson. What does that tell you.

Personally I'd play him off the bench over Feijao.

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Personally I'd play him off the bench over Feijao.

Monty signed him as a CM who could carry the ball out of midfield (the role he played at victory).

He has always been played out of position by Jacko - yes because he was well behind max, niz and Tappy.

I assume he saw something that he could groom to be a replacement for max and niz, as they were always going to move on at some point.

Chuck him in the middle next to Eames and see what he's got. In the very few minutes he has been central he has shown more than in the wide areas.

What have we got to lose?

Yup I agree with that.

And that!!!!!

Already been tried with predictable results. Try again sure, swap out Alfie he's gone at the end of the season and we've got Wilson for another year so may as well develop him nowthe season is likely done.

He has the same first touch but he can actually shoot

The ball. He constantly looses it. He doesn’t have the control to be a mid.

If he should be anywhere it is as the backup striker

The season was done weeks ago. People have just been hoping we might accidentally stumble across results while it's mathematically possible.

Perth and Brisbane we might get something out of, but even Perth are looking better since zdrillic used the wild card.

He hasn't really been tried. He's been shunted out to left wing mostly. Give him a run of games and see how it goes - hasn't hurt Paull.

He keeps giving temu Ronnie, Steele, kuol, edmo, Theo, de lima runs for limited return so why not.🤷🏻‍♂️ Hell at the moment if he could tackle I'd play him in place of Sainsbury.

Yeah the two blown leads against WU and the Jets have finished us

 

[Stuartmcateer]

They just paper over the cracks.

The draw with Perth where we only got a goal because sail couldn't keep his legs together, or the other draw with Perth at home.

Even some of our wins have been lucky - Owen goal has helped us a bit.

Because ball retention has been the hallmark of our midfield this year 🤷🏻‍♂️

Agree again!!

Change the record it's getting boring

No worse than Steele on first valuation. Let him play there and we can see.

Why would Alfie be gone?
