He adds to the chances of that possibility.

And when I looked recently Cary and Etto were still on the list. They need to go.

Or Cody can learn off Griffin, Kommer, Boekhorst, Eardley, Strnadica, Snadden, Loersch and Jansen!

Of course, all speculative at the moment and no real indication a move is on the cards. More wishful thinking from us Sharks supporters!!!

We also have to work hard to get the likes of Tropiano back to the club.

I still think we are short a qualityy KP down back.
Don’t know how we can fit Ruckman,KP forward and KP back in from here,I suspect the club will go with Eyres and Delahunty the latter as the KP forward and doing some ruck work

Dakota BW went past Eyres for me in the last few games. Hopefully he continues to develop and don’t forget Guy Langdon. Delahunty sounds like a similar type. We are fine down back with Giblett, Taylor, Sinclair and Lague more than capable. Coniglio slotted in well too. Our problems last year were more up front with a misfiring forward line that was lacking a physical presence. Even though his goal kicking let him down Sam Garstone was a tall target and when he got injured we missed him. Not saying he is the answer.

Going to be a combination of tall marking targets rotating through there than anyone being a standout I suspect. Maybe College can be a permanent forward if we can form a strong midfield.

Another young player Zac Hill was outstanding down back before injuring his knee. Was a 6 month injury so he’ll be back and he’s around 192cm I think.

DD, where did you see Cary and Etto named? They don't appear on the website. I hope you're right about having enough points for one more good player. Agree our backline is ok with Gibba, Sinclair, Lague, Bryan, Coniglio, Hill, but I think it's worth looking at putting Taylor into the midlfield.

Cary and Etto definitely gone. Also I believe that Garstone is gone.
Dakota BD impressed me late in the season. Under the tutelage of Beau McDonald I believe he discovered that physical contact in ruck duels was an asset.
I think he has some upside and is starting to develop.

And with Masto there now (because it appears to be Masto now - probaly short for Masto...bator) he could maybe take on a specialist coaching or mentoring role! He could be put in charge of teaching other players on how to kick and not turn the ball over.

Garstone still on that list also.

They remain on WAFL list until they are cleared to another club.
They are definitely gonsky.

Yes but while they are on the list they are probably taking up points. But each club can only have a list of 40 they can "protect" so if they go to another club a transfer fee will apply.

Guy Langdon is the one I will be looking to go to a new level. With one season at this level behind him and a full pre season ahead he should have learnt a bit and will be a more confident player.
He is a good size and has a powerful body. He is a strong mark and good kick.
I will be looking for him to impose himself on the game more.

Each to there own on opinions on the backline for mine it needs strengthening particularly CHB.
The past three years our backline has ranked 6th,8th and 9th.
We tend to leak through some very soft goals with loose checking on forward opponents.
