Now this is not to single out St. Kilda, but to highlight the issue with allowing clubs to delist players after the ND nominations close and effectively giving them a very limited chance to be picked up.
Sure, some will say it is your own fault, not arguing Winmar may have stuffed up, but is it right clubs can delist players and give them effectively zero chance or thereabouts of being picked up in the PSD.
My club is guilty of this and I think is stinks. Final list lodgement should be in time for the player to nominate for the ND and PSD.
Otherwise we get insulting comments from people like Pelchen becasue they have to say something:
The AFL needs to clean this up.

How is this the best outcome for Nick? Sorry mate, you have less than half the clubs available to pick you up and you have next to no time to find a new club. But it's the best outcome for you."This was a difficult decision, however we feel it is the right one for both Nick and the club. Nick has been a respected member of the Saints over the past three years and we wish him every success for the future."
The AFL needs to clean this up.
