    Although Everitt and Ben Mathews are now retired, Leo Barry, Brett Kirk, Jared Crouch and Michael O'Loughlin (absent tonight, injured) are also 30 or over and nearing the end of their careers.
    Of those I reckon Barry and Crouch should retire this year, then see how thw others fair next year. I would tip MOL to retire after next year, but who knows with Kirk and Bazza.

    Leo i'm afraid has to go. Kirk and Bazz 1 year. Micky went ok this year before injury.

    Play the kids and refresh the coaching staff, whoever handles the defenders needs to go.

    Leo - one more year! Has played well since coming back from his hamstring. Jumping and looking quicker. Besides, who is going to play full back, LRT??? They have no one to take over in the full back position.

    Leo has to go. As brilliant as he has been for us, he is the most penalised in the league (His style of defending sadly died when the rules were changed following our flag) and his decision making is not what it was.

    Matthews and Spida are gone, hopefully Crouch will join them (Granted he did alright this year) and Leo. I really hope Micky O goes around again as he so richly deserves to make it to his 300th (And now that he has missed some games this year I should be back in the country to see it ), and BBB once he got over all the issues I thought was more then servicable. Was dangerous last night in a well beaten team and with little good service.

    Kirky I think still has another year or two in him- we really need him around the club to help bring some of the younger brigade on (Not by teaching them the art of good disposal of course!).

    Crouch has said he will go on, so the club would have to pay him out if they want him to go.

    I thought Crouch has been good since his return. We need some new defenders and another good ruckman.

    Whether he goes on or not should be determined by how many others go, the quality of the draft and trade prospects. Frankly, whether Crouch wants to go on or not is immaterial, it is what is best for the club. If they need to pay him out to free up a spot on the list for untried talent as part of our list turnover, so be it.
    He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

    Crouch should go.

    Barry is probably done.

    J Bolton showed last night that he will struggle against the better teams next year.

    Or they could play him in the 2's like they did with Mathews.

    As much as the flack Brennan cops, I wish the club groomed him for the fullback position to take over from Leo. Sadly, they probably won't go that way and will most likely be delisted instead.
