We are set with ruckmen but Brodie Grundy goes all right.
He does but doubt he was on the radar given Freo ruck stocks. Josh Simpson falling to 12 was a god send. Hindsight will tell you that there was a very good reason why he did.

Grundy lost his spot to former NSW scholarship player Jarrod Witts for most of the season. Overhyped Collingwood youngster, Grundy has a long way to go to make it as an AFL ruckman.We are set with ruckmen but Brodie Grundy goes all right.

If we don't rookie him, I hope the "levels of support and assistance into 2015" involve us giving him another shot in 12 months time
And if that didn't this will.
Good luck Josh. You've achieved a lot in playing at the AFL level and 99% of people on this board have not achieved that (and I'm not claiming to be the 1%). "Gatorade in the eyes. It stings but, yeah, it's good".
There's no need to worry about telegraphing - no interstate club would touch him with a 10 ft barge pole. As for the Eagles - well he's not exactly David Wirrapanda is he?I can see us picking him up, I wouldn't expect us to telegraph that fact to the rest of the comp though.

Good luck for the future Josh. May your life post AFL be a happy one.
Unfortunately another player is chewed up by the system that can be harsh on those who don't fit in.
Time for club, Simpson and us fans to move on as the decision to delist has been made. I had the feeling it was with reluctance the club went this way but that is only a gut feel and nothing else.
We could have accommodated him. All this talk emanating from the club about Josh not "fitting in with the system"/"failing to meet team standards" is just babble. You can't condemn an aboriginal kid based on the standards applied to other players. Josh needed his own system and one that was auspicious to his development was not provided. Result: we lose, Josh loses. All because we are too inflexible culture wise.
What a shame. Some really scummy characters thrive in the AFL but it couldn't cater to a young father from the bush. Really lame day.
