And that's the problem
Ray is an ok player - a walk up in an average team
We won't go forward with Rays in our side
Desperately short of quality

They can't all be superstars Teflon. You need a core of good solid professionals. Of which Ray is one.

But yes. We need quality and a lot of it going on today's performance.

Can't believe after today you post that
Right now we dont have 1 superstar in the midfield - best sides all do
Ray is 29 , average kick , ok player not the future

I hope Farren receives a contract extension, I personally think he has a bit more to offer than a Schneider etc

I'd keep him, he has terrific overhead marks, and is versatile.

I'd rather get games into D-Mac and Acres.
We also have Roberton, Savage and Newnes who can play a similar position.

I see acres in the same position. Prefer Blake in the side.

But you can see it from Faz's POV, one year and then gone. If someone else takes him (Melb were in to him last year?) then he might get the same 1 year or 2. Worth a punt for him to hold out, but could be left with 0.

If any other club wants him he should go but I doubt anyone would be interested in a 29 year old who has played more reserves games than senior games this year. A perfect reason we shouldn't be interested either but it seems we are. Still haven't worked out why,

Because they obviously know there are 5 or 6 others who they are going to let go at the end of the year.

He can ask for 2 years but doesn't mean he's going to get it.

Has faults but been a solid player. His time is almost up and I'd prefer we moved on and got on with it.

Totally agree with this. A senior player who only played a few games this year and doesn't really provide extra leadership is a waste of a spot.

Agreed he should go if so, but he'll probably only get 1 elsewhere as well. I'd expect him not to hold out too long.
