Already signed for next year. Oh hang on you don’t respect contracts that’s right.

Surely we wouldn’t any of those 3.

Should be an interesting off season at EF.
Will Loersch, Bonomelli ect seek opportunities elsewhere?
Who will jump up to be the #1 Ruck- Strnadica, Teakle or Watson? Strnadica apparently tried to leave last year- will he even stick around?
Will Kommer play?
Will some good foot soldiers seek opportunity elsewhere? Guess that’s the same with all clubs.
Regardless, the Football Department has their work cut out

One would think neither Loersch or Bonomelli are part of Monaghans game plan, pity because both look like genuine goal kickers...on paper!

Strnadica I heard aspired to be a ruck before FF post Freo delisting... with Griff retiring, the 1st ruck is his to lose...also he can rest up forward to kick the odd goal, be very surprised to see him go.

Sounds like EF foot skills, lack of them, need to be addressed big time, to many basic turnovers...can see some focus on recruiting players with good foot skills by the footy department....10 pointers in Loersch and Kommer may be strategically culled.

Colts wise B Walker and Carroll are definite draftees.....with McGrath(194), Cripps(197) and Gorringe (183) Haddow (183) Paholski (186) and C Walker (184) possible senior sorts..if not drafted.

any chance the likes of the aging Taylor & Hooker and Tom Joyce due to no games in 2 years at Brisbance, coming home if AFL lists are reduced?...and with WCE probably allocating players back in to the rest of the comp, is there a chance JK could suit up for EF in 2021 more then anticipated?...

Add O’Reilly, who I’m sure has been moved on already.
The fact he hasn’t played a game, you’d think Loersch is gone. Bonomelli may move on. Teakle is still developing and not sure where Watson sits, but I’ve always been a Watson fan. Still only young. Burton, Marshall, Harrold probably need to make way for those Colts graduates, who seem to be rated.
I still think a key forward and goalkicking small are needed- possibly another decent midfielder.

all ready signed for next year - wow their 2nd choice club has trumped everyone

like I said all along if they dont want to be there get rid of them but each to there own

Strnadica, Davidson, McGuire and Riach added to extended bench- Griffin back in.

Teakle out, I presume injured as he's also not in Reserves.

Loersch in Reserves.

No surprises on selection night, Strnadica should play to help Griff in the ruck....not sure where the goals are gonna come from, but one can only hope I guess.

They will spread them around and young Tom Monaghan is due a bag so we can probably rest Strnadica. Hopefully Tom Bennett gets on that bench though. We will get the win on Sunday - it is the very least that big Griff deserves. He has been a tremendous on field servant sad to hear he has decided to hang up the boots - but time waits for no one.

Bench is in: Bennett, Strnadica, Tassone and Murphy.

Out goes Montauban.

Big Griff has been a loyal stalwart, always remember his 2012 GF performance where he nearly singlehandedly got us over the line.

always plays well against Swans, top player
