I'm pretty sure that Cross wasn't really 'delisted' against his will. The Bulldogs would probably have gladly retained him on their list but they couldn't guarantee him actual playing time, and he'd have spent the year playing mostly reserves footy and mentoring their younger mids. Since he felt that he was still best 22 material they then would have offered to mutually end his time there so that he could be picked up by any club as a DFA rather than having to go through the draft.I love Crossy but really he stepped into the worst midfield of all time and he was probably wrongly delisted
But the Bulldogs have incredible midfield depth, and a bloke in Boyd who is the same as Cross
When you think of Delisted players think of Joel MacDonald
