    We've gone from 6 ruckman to 4. That suggests to me that we want to keep Nankervis.

    I think we will try to pick up another ruckmen through the rookie draft, unless we look for a very experienced backup from somewhere, on the knowledge they will definitely only be a backup.

    I'm sure we are keen to keep Nank, but if a club comes a knocking offering guaranteed first team football, then we will do hard to keep him. I rank him above Sinclair to be perfectly honest, but just behind Naismith and Tippo, and I don't think you can play all 3 in the same team.

    I presume that it is a preliminary cull and there will be more after the trading period depending on whether suitors can be found for Towers etc

    I think the thing is that Nankervis is still on the improve. Sinclair has plateaued. I hope we keep him.

    Hiscox must go, has hardly improved in two years, is hardly NEAFL standard let alone AFL standard.

    Depending on trading, given we will upgrade Papley and Newman, we may only take two, at most three picks in the ND.

    He must feel he has an appointment with destiny.
    Hopefully horse points out that he has used up a lot of browny points in the last three years and its time to put the finger away.

    Towers will almost certainly be traded. Can probably get regular game time at a lesser team. Ditto Nankervis. Mitchell I still feel could go either way. Guys like B Jack and Rose might go looking for further opportunities too
