I'd trade Cripps and Walsh, that'll get us three or four reasonable players and we can retire most of Simmo, Murphy, Lobbe, Ed and Plowman.
Having superstars isn't good enough when the base is so low. That game was lost when blokes like Simmo, Ed and Plowman win hard balls then hit opposition by foot from unpressured disposals. The end was nothing more than the result of poor earlier football.
The only way you can get rid of those guys is to trade them low or pension them off, and you need quality replacements.
