It says ‘not offered a contract’ so he will not be re-rookied.
Hope he gets a spot on someone’s list though.
Also a shame he didn’t play 1 more game so we could Father-Son the Bash Brothers in a few years.
i feel that this is a mistake. another of the kind of mistake that's lead us to where we are now. whenever you watch highlights packages for the young shiny midfielders we're all so excited about, LDU, Powell, Phillips, you'll notice over and over that it's a Jed Anderson shepherd that gives them space to work, his hardness around the ball has been really important when our midfield has looked functional and that's not going to be so easily replaced. This is similar to the Dumont delisting to me, just his bad luck that he's out of contract, coaches assume they can just plop one of the exciting talents in their spot and they'll be able to do everything those guys did, but it ends up not working that way. In froggy's case we ended up badly missing his two-way running, in Jed's case I think we're going to miss that hardness around the ball.
Should absolutely rookie him unless someone irresistible is available at our first pick.
You realise his stance re the covid vaccine was hard medicine not some bullshit I don’t want to. He had the 1st one. It had actual negative medical effects that effected his ability to train and his willingness to try it again.Don't turn up unfit, taking the piss on a good salary, and take half the season to be ready to play based on his no Covid stance. (which we supported him but he didn't do the work)
He only has himself to blame for his delisting.
Polly would be gone already if he didnt have a contract. which in itself is a bit of an injustice to jed, but thats footy, prolly in same boat as froggy when he didnt have a contract.The issue is Jed's tank or lack thereof, it puts a lot of rotation pressure on.
We were still s**t and won the spoon with Cunners, Jed, Dumont, etc. We were just a bit more competitive.
We should have Cunners and Polec return next year, got a big improvement out of Scott and Taylor this year, Perez had a full season, Phillips to return, Goater just played 1 game this year. We picked up Tucker.
I don't think we are relying on anyone we draft this year for next year.

Tucker ... if he can get back to his form of 2019 and early 2020 (then ripped his hammy off the bone) will be a good acquisition in this regard. Fyfe went out of his way to specifically thank Tucker and Conca for their covering roles in 2019.I doubt it. He'll play most games if he gets a contract. He's a meat shield and a battering ram. When he didn't play late this year LDU struggled a bit because no one could lay blocks and open space for him like Jed did. Maybe Tucker and Greenwood could play that role but Greenwood wasn't very good at it. (Good with the defensive pressure tho.)
Completely forgot Polec was on the list still.Polly would be gone already if he didnt have a contract. which in itself is a bit of an injustice to jed, but thats footy, prolly in same boat as froggy when he didnt have a contract.
He didn't get the first jab until a month after he was meant to have had both pal.You realise his stance re the covid vaccine was hard medicine not some bullshit I don’t want to. He had the 1st one.

was my initial reaction as well.Completely forgot Polec was on the list still.
Genuine LOL’s.
