I still don’t see what that’s got to do with Rantall.

Hall of Famer
I'm saying he looked like a future superstar.
If he has a good attitude and can run all day why delist, looked ok as a tagger.
Any plans to put him on the rookie list?
Any young player delisted this year can consider themselves very unlucky. Hardly any VFL to develop their game.

I guess it helps that 22 players take the field instead of 11 or five

He definitely didn't have the skills or footy IQ to make it he's just an athlete that can run all day but not really find it. I gotta say I was concerned that he really wasn't coming on in the VFL either so it didn't surprise me that he was given the chop.
Gotta feel for him, as "what VFL"?!
For mine, Hine sometimes gets a stiffy for the two k time trial superstars. I'd have liked a better look at him though than what we got, because he, IMHO, had potential to be a good tagger. Not that you go out of your way to draft taggers, but the likes of Ling and Levi were terribly skilled, but were good (to excellent in the case of Ling) defensive mids who won their own pill.

Rantal did not look like he would get the Big Body to be a Hard Tagger

Signed with Norwood now.
Unlikely to see him at AFL level again but... but from i saw of him in the pies vs Werribee game last year... he should have a very solid career at state level.

Rantall won a SANFL premiership today and was among the best on ground. Honestly think he offers more than Chugg and was unlucky not to be rookied.

Or that that the SANFL standard is significantly below that of AFL and we should also be sceptical of the figures being bandied around supporting our interest in Frampton.Rantall won a SANFL premiership today and was among the best on ground.

Except for the fact that Frampton was very good at AFL level this season too
Can't recall any real dissent on here regarding Rantall's delisting. I don't believe he would ever have become an AFL regular. Certainly there may be players capable of stepping up a level, but we should not let Rantall's good form cast doubts on our decision to cut him loose. Even Carmichael and Johnson are not guaranteed success at this stage of their careers.
It’s not significantly below. If you’re best on ground in a SANFL, WAFL or VFL grand final you’re good enough to play AFL.
Some players just take longer to mature, plenty of mature age players from State Leagues have had very good AFL careers.

3?
John Noble (West Adelaide)
Ash Johnson (Sturt)
Josh Carmichael (West Adelaide)
Plus didn’t all our draftees last year come from sanfl?
I forgot about Noble. Certainly a worthy rookie.
Better than the VFL
