List Mgmt. OOC 2021, who is playing for their careers 2021 edition?

[The Flying Belgian]

You don't seem to get my sarcastic facetious sense of humour FB.... I thought the Simpsons gif would have been the giveaway.

Delistings are a fact of AFL life, not dancing on any graves here just like the discussion it opens up.

Not necessarily having careers ended either, there are 17 other clubs out there who are options.

Maybe, but we both know once a guys gets delisted, odds are slim he'll go anywhere back back to the state leagues. Which is fine, as you say, list management is a part of the game. I just find impatience in this regard a bit distasteful, like I don't like people who treat players as disposable like they're playing fantasy football or Championship Manager, all for the sake of discussion. Maybe I'm in the minority.

 

[Section 5]

So Archie has been delisted by the club
Maybe someone picks him up but not sure who would come to the party

 

[dlanod]

Which of their posters are you looking to get in return?

Just a late draft pick in the draft of this year's new posters. Really it's just a salary dump.

 

[Dalions]

I reckon it would've been very unlikely for us to pick up a project ruck in the mid season draft without the intention of keeping him long term.

Completely agree, but there is always a chance that he may have an offer elsewhere.
On the Roar Deal after he was drafted he did state that he thought he was going to get picked up by another club and that he was a bit surprised when we called his name out.
But he did know of the interest from the Lions though.

The HUN reporting Chol moving north but it's behind the paywall so I can't see which team (if they even list one) they mention

 

[davemc_lions]

Archie be good for the Suns or another team. Thanks to all his years of service.
No idea why some people take glee in this time of the year.
I understand somethings not worked out with some players. Injury or role or players in front of them
Although others like Keays and Walker recently gone on
Witho and Cutler getting games as well

Wish Archie and whoever else goes all the best.

here you go

Gold Coast has emerged as the frontrunner for Richmond ruckman Mabior Chol, who is likely to settle on his second AFL club by the end of the week.
Although maybe Archie going and someone said linked to Suns he coming to us??

Also says Callum Coleman-Jones has a offer from North

Gold Coast.

Archie must have been given some assurances from a club, the Lions told him IIRC at the end of 2019 that he could explore options elsewhere and nothing materialised, with the club putting out a formal "thanks" statement, this time he is definitely gone.

Who thinks we go into season 2022 with ruck options behind the big O of Fullarton/H.Smith/Lane and at a pinch Ballenden?

Reckon he has got an offer from Gold Coast , they are light on ruck options, you wouldn't just throw away your list spot and given what his family has been through he probably would like to stay close to home

 

[briztoon]

Chol and Archie to the GC

Chol to start and play as a forward ruck. Archie as backup for Witts.

The Suns have at least seen Archie over the years so i guess they will know what they are getting

 

[jackess]

I wonder if we were just sugar coating his delisting

 

[Jivlain]

How about the Yellow Wiggle instead, she looks like she's got a vertical leap on her

Think you are on the wrong site if you don't like people saying things for the sake of discussion...

I am sure that Kaiser guy would *love* to switch over

I think I've been around this place long enough to hope to see a better level of discussion. I accept though that I may be in the minority but I'm not one to force a discussion at any cost.

'At any cost" is a tad hyperbolic re my attempted humour FB.

Indeed. Hyperbole doesn't do anyone any favours.

That's what they all say.

I can't for the life of me figure out why the club would be delaying announcing this seasons delistings, could it be they have something in the works re a player maybe/maybe not coming to/going out of our club which will affect the list decisions?

Shouldn't speak on every player that will be delisted at our club this year, but you would think someone like Tom Joyce's future at the club for example, would be probably announced to the public at the end of the trade period, as it would be all dependant on whenever Neale changes his mind (again) and does go back home to WA or stays in QLD for the time being, given the fact both players play a identical role/position to each other within the club (AFL/VFL) despite the massive age & experience gap between them.

Could also be holding off to do a Tom Joyce for Jarrod Cameron trade perhaps.
