06 is make or break for all of these kids although i believe Moore, Foley, Hartigan, Polo, Limbach, McGuane and Raines are all under the pump as if i am not mistaken all of them have there contracts expiring at the end of this season which of course leaves them all vulnerable to delisting.
Of them all i believe Moore and Roach are under the most pressure to step up yet i cant see obvious places in the side for them which will be their major issue.

- Patrick Bowden - will be fine
- Mark Chaffey - probably gone. How his body copes is gonna play a massive part. I'd say he's a bit slow to play the role that we'd need him to play (tagger), and as he gets older, soft tissue injuries are gonna be more frequent.
- Trent Knobel - will be fine for another year or two.
- Andrew Krakouer - Got 2 more years on his contract doesn't he? Will be safe for another year.
- David Rodan - just signed 2 year deal. Will be fine
- Greg Tivendale - please lord, please please please, let this guy win the B & F...........at Coburg.

Kids

- Nathan Foley - Lots of fans, can he perform with the speed in the AFL? Could possibly fill chaffey's role or compete with
Rodan for a spot.
- Brent Hartigan - He'll be ok if he can get fit.
- Daniel Jackson - 2 more years
- Kelvin Moore - crunch time
- Andrew Raines - crunch time
- Thomas Roach - crunch time
- Jay Schulz - will be fine

Basically, the bigger guys will probably be cut more slack than the smaller guys cause a good one is harder to find and they take longer to develop. I'd guess the one big man who probably had the most pressure would be Limbach, but since his attitude/confidence seems to have lifted, he'll probably be good for a couple more years.

Other than a preference for Chaffey over P.Bowden, I agree completely with your take, Robert E. Lee.

 

[Otis]

yea agree that it is crunch-time for all of these players. Some players on this list i really like, but all things aside this is a 'make or break' season for them..

Only I think Chaffey has stood the test of time and won't have a problem (apart from OP), and tivendale's "make or break" season was 2005 and he failed so this is his last season in coburg.

Looking at the type of player we are recruiting/drafting under Wallace I'd say that Chaff could be on borrowed time.
