Robbie Fowler, the new coach, has just swung the axe at the Roar. Any of these we'd want to pick up for next season?

ROAR’S A-LEAGUE CLEAROUT BY THE NUMBERS
— 14 players released or retired: Matt McKay, Henrique, Thomas Kristensen, Luke DeVere, Brett Holman, Eric Bautheac, Eli Babalj, Joe Caletti, Charles Lokoli-Ngoy, Alex Lopez, Tobias Mikkelsen, Stefan Nigro, Ruon Tongyik, Brendan White
— 998 games worth of experience in Australian football and 128 goals
— Four ex-Socceroos: McKay, Holman, DeVere, Babalj
— Leaves club with 10 players on senior contracts.
We need some better central defenders, especially with Durante and Kopa likely gone for next season. Who is going to partner Taylor. From that bunch Nigro maybe Tongyik? But don't think either of these two are an upgrade on Fox.
Not sure I want any defenders from a team that has this record from the season just been.
