Yep posted that yesterday.
After speaking to someone who knows him very well it is almost a certainty that he will be playing country footy next year

1000 times more then what he would make playing local footy
not worth enough living away from home, probably had a mon-fri job down there. might have been a bit too expensive for him.

My lad knows him quite well. Josh just loves playing footy but cant handle all the extra that comes with being an AFL footballer. Hates the recovery sessions and the constant team meetings and 6 day a week stuff that comes with it. He promised his parents he would give it a go but its not for him. If he does quit he will end up playing country footy where he will get $1500 a game to train once a week and play with his mates. Can also have a beer after the game and go out on a weekend like regular young people do. AFL isnt for everyone but he had a crack atleast. I often wonder if footballers from the 80's would handle the pressure of a modern player and the game has become so professional now, some would argue its gone too far.

Good to see he had a crack at least, and we didn't spend too much on him. As the year went on you could clearly see he stopped enjoying it. His performances tapered way off.
Shame, as he could have made it. Has all the talent, but just not for him which is fine.

yes, that what I was getting out by "having enough"
He was well liked by all accounts

Dixon and Smith removed from the OP and Currie added (anyone know how long Currie's contract is?) with Gorringe almost definitely getting delisted/traded to take the club to 33 senior listed players. So 7 spots to fill and in possession of picks 3, 10, 16, 31, 35, 43. We assume Saad will be upgraded and Adcock will likely be picked up so that takes the club to 5 remaining spots. They may just use the 5 picks they have in the top 35 of this draft to inject youth or use 4 of them and pick up someone like Rosa. We'll soon find out.
Matchu are you sure about 7 senior spots to fill?
We only have the regular 38 senior listed players.
6 senior listed out: Dixon, Bennell, J.Hall, Sumner, Smith, Gorringe.
In: Currie
Leaving only be 5 senior spots left to fill?
Plus 1 nominated rookie to replace Broughton if a player agrees to be contracted that way.

You're right. I was thinking 40 senior spots for some reason.

With Currie & Rosa added, we have 4 senior spots available for the ND & PSD.
Will be interesting how many kids we actually take in the national draft.
Would be nice to take just 2 kids & upgrade Saad, leaving 1 senior spot available for the PSD.

What was the source for Danny Stanley being contracted until the end of 2016? Seeing as he's been delisted, does that mean we've paid out his salary?

Looks like it, but this happens more often than you think. Stanley wouldn't be on much more than rookie wage I think anyway?
Wha NO BULL??!!
Edit: Wow just saw the article. Looks like the clean out mission accomplished by Rocket in just one season!! Impressive and efficient!!!

Going down the exact same path as Broughton last year with Stanley this year , Broughton had a year to go was delisted , and rookied at that price.
