2027 List Management

[Roadrunner]

And the GG getting a selfie with the great Dane!

No doubt Rampe will be enticed back to footy in some capacity, hopefully with us, as he possesses too good of a footy brain.

Like others, was saddened and somewhat surprised of his retirement decision. I thought he'd go on given the situation with our defence minus Blakey, Cunningham & Mills for most of 27. He articulated his decision so well and shared the pain how the Pullman incident had impacted on him. So desperate to see him wearing a premiership medallion.

Snell, Riak & Bowman are now presented with great opportunities to break into the team and hold their own, same as Edwards did this year.

A legend and a true Blood-always put the team first. Thought he would play one more year but he realised his body is exhausted for his standards. Hope the club finds a position for him- defensive coach maybe? KSAS, the three guys you mention will be needed for sure, but the experience we’ve lost will be hard to replace next year. Is this going to impact our window? Realistically, it must.

[KSAS]

Agree Roadrunner experience will be hard to replace, but hoping the likes Wicks, Bice and Roberts will step up. Lloyd may also help out even though i prefer him in his current role up front.

[Danzar]

Mrs Danzar snd I were at the club guernsey presentation dinner a number of years ago. Ramps comes over, says 'you two must be important sitting here'. Plonks himself down and chats to us for the entire break between formalities. He was as quirky as we expected he would be. Waved and said goodbye (remembered both our names) as we were leaving at the end of the night. Top bloke. Amazing club man and player. Will be deeply missed by all.
