Jones is good, but easily replaceable. I'd be keeping Reid. Our other key forwards are getting a bit long in the tooth. buddy will begin to drop off after 2018, and tippet the same.

I disagree. Easily replaceable by ______ ? Feel free to fill in the blank. Jones has a lot of aggression, run, speed, can tackle and his skill with the ball is impressive too. I don't think we have a ready-made replacement in the twos, nor can I pinpoint a like for like player who is available at the moment.
Easily replaced by a American pit bull / greyhound cross, with good disposal skills. Not since BBBH have we had someone with such borderline aggression control (though little Benny McG did a fair impression at times).
Don't think Budd will drop off after 2018, it's just his role will evolve to accomodate his maturing body morphology.
Tipp's decline has probably downwardly plateauing (up to a dozen games a year @ 1-2 goals a game (he'll get his goal average up before the year is out for 2017)
We've already let Jetta and Malceski go can't let another player that gives us run go.
As for Buddy I agree he'll drop off if doesn't lose some weight... Looks like he's wearing speedos
Agree he has provided us with some much needed 'spite'.
So you think he'll carry Sydney's forward line by himself in 2019 aged 32?
Jones and Reid will both stay so we can now focus on what/who we need to enhance the list even further!
Is that opinion or fact?
Someone will step up. Lloyd already does the run role. We don't seem to miss a beat when Jones is suspended. There is always AJ, Allir or next recruit.
Key forwards are harder to replace.
