Yes, we need to move past him, like the majority of the list. However, he’s contracted for next year. Who’d you play in his spot after paying him out? Can’t replace half the list in one off season.
The guy who’s played in his spot every week of his career that he’s been out injured?
You can argue whether he’s a D grader or a C grader but bottom line is he’s 28, often injured, and certainly no better than C grade. Pending other list moves, I’d be happy to see him paid out.

Swied or huss or Unwin or a guy who i think would be great in the forward line would be Nguyen but i wouldnt risk moving him when he is doing well in the backline unless the plan was keep mcgrath in that spot and move Nguyen foward
Yeah, fair enough. I guess I’m just saying that he’s capable of playing a role in a position where we don’t have any depth and he possesses defensive traits that we lack as a team (tackles hard, smothers, 1%'), so he’d not be one to pay out for me. Next year, sure move him on, unless he pulls out an exceptional season.

i think it was bad list management to give him two years when one year would have been enough and now we are tight on list spots.
i dont disagree that he does good things in game but he doesnt do enough or play enough and if we want to move forward as a side these senior guys need to go, and with that youd hope they have a chat to him and say maybe find a new home and facilitate it for a very late pick.

Personally I’d be delisting/trading more than enough players not to have to cut him this year, and have him as a 2026 delisting.

We need to look at any offers we get for our long list of spuds.
Hobbs? Most expect him to be gone to! 
That said, I don’t think replacing his current level of performance will be too hard. Unwin, El Achkar, SEH, if we drafted NHH, lots of options.

Absolutely should be scorched earth policy. And there should be a few others paid out and farked off.

Tony Jones suggesting that Matt Guelfi should put his hand up to captain twice in a 30 second interview is all kinds of wrong.

The responsibility of juggling end of season captaincy with regular season captaincy may be too much of a burden

Is Tony Jones @donnington? He would definitely give us the best looking captain in the AFL.
