It seems that the club is interested in his coaching potential but that shouldn't mean allowing him to take up a spot on the list that could have gone to someone with potential to crack the AFL side.
Like most supporters, I'd love to see Dylan emulate his old man but I don't think it's going to happen. He is a great kick but simply doesn't get enough of the ball. I can't see how he could possibly get a game ahead of blokes who have been playing better footy.
Dennis did have a decent year last year so you really had to offer him another year. Then no telling when the game passes someone by. Some go to 30, others 38 but when "the wall" hits it hits quickly and insidiously. This will be his last year on the list though. Glad to she he ended up a 10 year player though.
As for Buckley, at times he almost gets there. His running goals last year were so exciting but, like every other time, he slips back again.

Tanks Crash.
He really adds a different dimension to the back line >
Look forward to see him back doing what he does so well.

I don't have a problem with his short term deal, he's clearly acting in a mentoring role for the new kids and the AFLW.
As you know he is one of our more vocal players down at VFL level, and while he may no longer have that break-away power or influence he still knows where to be and when.
I suppose this is a difference between Denis and Daisy, Daisy's AFL game never really relied on outside run and pace, so in that respect Denis has a bigger hurdle to overcome to get into the 1s.

Very interesting to see if Harry makes the final cut.
I think this will have a lot of people excited

Getting a little off topic but I'd like to see the club encourage retiring players to continue their career with the NBs, particularly those with the ability to mentor and encourage young blokes and provide leadership and presence on the field.

Ground conditions should play a significant part in the decision. He must be given very chance to succeed.

Last time I tried to guess the final line-up for a Sunday game I got it totally wrong, so, based on that Lamb won't be coming in for Sumner and Macreadie won't be coming in for Marchbank (which is what I would anticipate...)... so, Byrne for Marchbank and Samo for Sumner
;D
