Opinion Non-Crows AFL 13: Cyclone Season

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Wasn't expecting that.

He's their 2nd most dangerous forward.

That is strange.

They've got so many other duds

Are they going to turn over 15+ players?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

That is strange.

They've got so many other duds

Are they going to turn over 15+ players?

Perhaps they are going to raid the sanfl again...

Didn't Port play Hugh Jackson a bunch this year?

Played less games than Ned did for us in 2024.

He’s also no good.

 

[Crow_68]

Going to have to split their first rounder to fill the squad.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Is there a very late mid season rookie draft I am not aware of?

 

[Crow-eater]

I highly doubt this is of Port's choosing.

Looks like Port will be shovelling their way through the delistee pile

 

[Crows I Am]

Going to have to split their first rounder to fill the squad.

Next years first rounder?

I called it a month ago

Even Williams and Jackson are better than guys they've kept

I expected it.

Poor character and lets just say he isnt the fittest bloke on the footy field which is one of the many reasons he couldnt get a game even beyond the threatening of opposition players. Would have had to have been a massive pre season just for him to get games next year.

Probably also an element of some players seeing the writing on the wall that they look set to be in for a good stint of pain. Hope Carr has the desire to rebuild because he is going to have to.

Oh its legit!
that wasn't in the delisting announcement..

Lachie Murphy, come on downnnn!!!

 

[Crow_68]

So that’s Boak, Rioli, Finlayson, Burton, Atkins, Jackson & Williams gone for their list today.

This is a list that still has Soldo, Anastasopoulos, McEntee, Mead and other dross.

They are in worse shape than I thought.

 

[Geoffa32]

I thought Koch said they don't believe in rebuilds.....

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Wonder if it caught Port out?

Ports in for a world of hurt. I struggle to see them attracting much through the trade table as they are genuinely at the stage where what ever premiership window they had was slammed shut, nailed and cemented over and considering the squad assembled was supposed to push for a premiership this year..., how can anyone believe that this squad can make finals over and above the other teams in the 8.

Adelaide, Geelong, Brisbane, Collingwood all have better lists by a mile.

Hawks, Gold Coast, GWS, Western Bulldogs again all have better lists and will be even better next year as they all tend to have young sides.

Sydney and Carlton will look to improve as they get over the injury issues.

North Melbourne will likely improve next year and so will West Coast as their youngsters progress. Richmond will likely be in the same place as they look to pump games into their fresh faces.

Port...I think its a safe bet they wont finish in the top 10 next year.

And they don’t have a first round pick either.

Are they setting up for a massive tank in 2026?

To be fair, they all had to go.

Hence the obsession with missing pieces. Kochie lives on the mantra of existing to win premierships. I think he is desperate to throw everything at obtaining players from other clubs to steal one. I would suggest its why their list management has left the AFL world scratching their heads. Its going to be a massive failure of Kochies reign if we end up winning one before they do. Massive failure.

Is it a sign that players dont believe in the vision if they leave like Houston, Rioli?

 

[Geoffa32]

They had the worst overall list in the league already.

Great midfield, one pretty good secondary key forward, one brilliant (but old) defender but that's it.

More likely bottom 4 by the looks of it.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Remember they already brought in 3 players in the mid season draft, so those 3 replace 3 of those cut today.

4 of those players were in their best 20. One of them was in their top 10.

List is cactus. The only saving grace is the midfield will stop them from reaching peak 2011, 2012 shizen.

 

[Geoffa32]

Is Zac Butters really going to waste the best years of his career there.
