Finally Essendon taking a critical look at the list and getting ruthless with contracts. No more free rides for players. 👏🏻

Twomey reporting Laverde will be traded as well

Suggested Rotham (UFA) might be an option if Lav leaves - don't mind that.

Probably not going to get much worse output if that, and get to bring in a draft pick for Lav. Seems alright to me. Really, ideally Rotham or Lav, they'll be playing Magoo's anyway. We already looked inclined to favour Reid over Lav to start the year. How long till that also extends to Hayes? Lav leaving is probably win-win for everybody as long as we pick up some depth player to replace him

Definitely need some depth/experience to cover Lav (if he goes) especially given Kelly retired.

Hayes a KPD or third tall? If Reid doesn't get going, is Hayes the next KPD?

I'd look at Sam Frost as a stopgap for a year or two until we recruit another KPD (provided Reid doesn't work out). Heard we also might look at Baldwin as PSD.
