Well, Butcher hasn't played any role this year so it's hardly a new look without him.

Schulz and Monfries will be there.

I was more referring to forward options on their list, I'd love to Charlie make the move down here, he could get an Adelaide United membership seeing as though he loves the reds.

Dixon would be a valuable addition to any side I think.

At the end of the year the money from Butcher will free up, but as noted above, Wingard and Wines will get more in their next deals and I can't see either of them going anywhere right now.

I don't think we'll be a major player come trade time though, unless another club see's value in O'Shea, Clurey, Moore, Young and co.

This ^.

He's been given the lock down role this year, IMO it doesn't suit him. Wingard isn't afraid of tackling / applying pressure, nor is Schulz, so I don't think we need a specific lock down forward. If we are to, let Neade do that.

Gray now spends more time in the midfield so he's more of a resting forward, he doesn't need to do any defensive work while there.

Interestingly Monfries was dropped last week but didn't play for the Magpies. I think if you're going to give a bloke a kick in the arse then sink the boot in, don't mollycoddle.

On Schulz, I think he'll be at Port next year.

Are you for real.
Massive talent, most clubs would take him in a heartbeat. Price does seem a little bit overs though

Port can't afford him IMO, they are already paying over 100% of the salary cap...even if Shultz goes. Will need extra cash in few couple of seasons for Wines, Boak, Windgard, Gray, Ebert, Hartlett. Plus i dont think Port will be keen on giving up another first round pick, would have to trade a decent player instead and can't see that happening.

Dixon will go to the highest bidder IMO.

Butcher is on far more than his worth, without him and Schulz there will be enough change in the ashtray.

I forgot to add, Cornes and Butchers wage will be gone come the end of the year and Carlile becomes veteran list eligible.

Quite a bit of money free'd up there especially if Schulz moves.

Suns are saying they wont match it so it appears he is off to highest bidder
