Strikes me as...odd.

 

[Bennett.]

Ummm

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

WT.....?

 

[ManWithNoName]

That'd be for Tayte Pears you'd assume then.

Could it also mean Fletch isn't going around again?

 

[Bennett.]

lol us

 

[abers47]

No he's a delisted free agent, so we don't give anything do we?

Correct. And the Saints get no compensation pick.

Err why.

 

[abers47]

Fletch not playing on perhaps???

i think you might have hit the nail on the head.

Gwilt is a UFA and not a delisted free agent.

He was just not offered a contracted and is still elibage to get compensation for us if the terms of the contract allow it to be so. Although i don't expect any , afl even cleared it up

GWILT IS A UFA UNTIL THE 31st of OCT and on that day we would delist him if no one has picked him up in free agency.

We're taking him as a Delisted Free Agent, ie he won't sign the paperwork until after that date. We've just announced it now.

Which means you will sign him on November 1

 

[VelvetSledge]

I'll welcome him, although I'm not sure what roles he could fill. Welcome to the club, James.

 

[mike14]

Haven't been this 'meh' about a signing since Justin Murphy. Hopefully he can come in and hold down that thitd tall role

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Maybe as a replacement for Van Unen? Or maybe Steinberg's being moved on? Or Pears?


Irregardless, I'm not a big fan of this idea. I'll wait to see if it works out first though.

Hate to be cynical, but is this Ryder bait?

 

[Halftimehero]

Good KPD depth, if we cant get a decent second ruck it allows us to play Hurley, Daniher and Carlisle forward if need be with Joe giving TBC a chop out.

 

[reincarnated]

Simple. Pears has always been injured. Steinberg got found out in the final. Fletcher is not going to play 23 plus games. We needed this 3rd tall defender. He does a reasonable job does Gwilt. Okay move.

How could it be rider bait?

Don't you know that we can't bring someone to the club and trade them out in the same trade period.
