Your right with some of it, but wrong with a fair bit. For a start, not all of those payers played senior football in the last 2 years. There are 9 players on your list that would not have been invited back for 2007. 2 of them were cut from the list midway through 2006. Its fun to throw up these types of lists, but much better when you know some facts.

Quite a few names on that list, but the VFL has a pretty high turnover. How significant are the losses to you chances this coming season?

Dont know who replied to this but i would like you to list the 9 players who wouldnt be offered a contract in 2007 because apart from Beasy And Molan im sure all the rest would of played senior footy in 2007.Yeah mizzi and Skehan walked out but still played regular games when they where there.

The loss of Edwards will hit the club harder than most.Phibbs played most games in the ones but he can be replaced. Murphy was descibed by Leigh Tudor as being in the top 5 players in the comp and he played half the year with op so he will be hard to replace. Hynes and Black although both are getting on i feel Frankston are a better side with both these players in the side especially Hynes as the players seem to lift when he is in the side.

Didn't realise you were responsible for drafting. Want to name the club? No doubt Edwards is a chance to be drafted, but no more so than Callinan was pumped up after he won the Liston the year before. Secondly, Black played half a game in 2006 so whilst he is a great bloke, I don't think he will be missed that much. Hynes is a great leader, but the game has probably passed him by. Game probably a bit past Phibba now too. Fortnam is the big loss, closely followed by Murphy. They are the 2. And I am pretty comfortable that you have no clue as to what players the Dolphins WILL sign, so don't start writing them off just yet. I love it when people start up a bit of negativity, especially when they appear to be close to the info but not quite close enough to know the whole story. Keep up the good work.

Thats half the fun Dolphin... We are still over a month from the conclusion of the National and Pre-season drafts. So its a chance to analyze what we do know (or at least think we know) until more information is made available. How many senior games did Ben Phibbs play this season? I'd rate him as a fringe player who every now and then can turn it on, but I didnt see much of his 06 season.

Played 19 of 20 games, but it was starting to take its toll on his body. Didn't really manage to break a game open. I understand that he has finally finished Uni and is looking to start teaching and will probably decide on where he pays once he sorts that out.

Another interesting departure from training is Toby Conroy.He walked out on Sandringham because they left him out of the grand final side and then played most of the games at Frankston and showed a little but has a heart a big as a split pea.No loss.

Ouch. Another one gone. What's the story Dolphin? He's a good player, Conroy...

Time to get over your animosity pal. You are a bit off the mark commenting on one session. There were none of the big name recruits there either. Get over it.
