Firstly I think we should trade Staker. He is young enough and has enough raw talent that i think we can get a second round draft pick for him. A handy pick to say the least. He hasnt done enough consistantly for us to justify a place on our list for another season.

We should also trade Chad Fletcher. Yes he gets a tonne of possies but more often than not his kicks go to oppostion playes. And he is soft. Any sort of pressure and he becomes such a bad player. Same as Staker. Im not sure what we can get for Fletcher but any sort of earlyish pick would be fine. Maybe 3rd round?

Also I think we should trade Beau Waters. For one main reason. His kicking is SH**!!!!!! He is tough and couragous but when you cant kick then you can be more of a weakness in the team than a strenth. Another 2nd round pick?

Mark Nicoski is another guy who does not make a huge positive impact on our team anymore but is young enough to get something for. He was good before he got injured but his decision making sucks. 3rd round pick.

Mark Seaby, 2nd or 3rd round pick when he was drafted but done nothing significant. Yes trading him may leave cox with lots of responsibility but i think hes doing it already + jamie graham and lynch can provide back up. Also will sullivan is doing quite well as a rookie. he could prob be an ok ruckman in a couple of years. So 3rd round pick for seaby.

I would have said to trade hanson as well, being injury prone and victorian (trade to a vic club) but he signed a 3 yr contract either recently or almost have. Silly wce. but anyway.

Retire. M Braun. Hes been fantastic over the years but its time to bow out. Hes getting injured more and more often and his best is past him.

One yr contract. Wirra.

This i believe will give us a decent amount of mid draft pics without losing super important playes.
