Re: Jones and Wilson cut

Hope they both get a gig elsewhere. Gold Coast'd maybe want a piece of Wilson, right? Hell, maybe even Freo?

Damn about Jonsey. I was hoping he was going to kick on. I wonder if WCE shopped Wilson, an upgrade of a pick may have been nice. To cut him without getting anything for him is unfortunate.

Sad about Jones and Wilson.

 

[archiemoses]

Bizarre dalziell kept on. Must be a contract issue. JJ very stiff

Re: Jones and Wilson cut

little bit shocked JJ got delisted, saw Wilson getting the chop. Dalziell lucky guy thought his time was up.

would have thought stevenson was under the pump..
hoping hams is upgraded and given a decent run next year.

 

[lewigie]

Strange as hell. Maybe jojo knew he wouldn't get opportunities here.

Or maybe he just didn't fit in with the group? You never heard much from him, and he was never in any of the Inside 50 vids hanging out with other players or anything.

 

[INSANE]

That seems like it would be a perfectly rational response to events that are completely out of your control and would make a trivial amount of difference to your life...

Was not serious, I thought that would be quite obvious....

 

[INSANE]

Think you need to look at the username.

Therein lies your answer

It should be 'TRYHARDCOMEDIAN' then.

Re: Jones and Wilson cut

Jones was not a required player. They decided to keep the players with the better skills which is fair enough.

Re: Jones and Wilson cut

wow. it's turning into a decent little house clearance!

disappointed to see jordan jones moved on. liked what i saw in the pre-season. big body, moves well, reads the play and uses it well... surely will be picked up elsewhere. somehow must've fallen way behind waters, butler, hurn, smith, shepherd, b.wilson...

c.wilson not so surprising. deserves an opportunity elsewhere and has shown glimpses of capability at the top level. i do see him as a bit one-dimensional in an era where few players can afford to be but wouldn't be surprised to see him do well elsewhere. could thrive up forward for a team like carlton with that sort of elite delivery.

wonder how hard we tried to move these guys last week?! you would have to think they had some value?! i guess we'll find out at the draft.

 

[pantskyle]

If we don't get this guy that INSANE is determined we should get then I will kill him

Re: Jones and Wilson cut

Any chance we may be doing it just so he (Jones) can be rookie-listed?

 

[Piss Poor]

Re: Jones and Wilson cut

Dalziell doesn't deserve another chance- probably our worst player on our list.

stupid decision to cut J Jones and not Dalziell

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Was not serious, I thought that would be quite obvious....

No, most of the time you need to put a big red flag on it for me to get it

Joey JoJo!

 

[WCEforeverman]

My impression from Wilson was that he had a bit of an attitude problem. Wasn't he dropped down to south Freo training at one point in time?

Jojo is disappointing.

Regarding Stevenson, I am fairly sure he was told to work substantially on his defensive game this year and that's why he wasn't pulling in the stats.

 

[greennick]

Surely DDD is contracted? I vaguely remember him getting a 2 year extension on the year left in his contract when he was traded. Anyone else remember??


As for those saying Wilson is best 22 in most other clubs. No he isn't. He has the turning circle of a barge and is worse below his knees than any other forward on our list. He is a good WAFL player that will never make the crack to AFL. Like Brad Smith after his two knee reconstructions.


On JoJo, from reading that, it seemed like he may have been the one who wanted out. If not, hopefully he is keen for a rookie and we're just trying to play it cool.

no idea but i hope so.

Re: Jones and Wilson cut

Maric delisted from Melbourne.
Might be worth a rookie spot, handy small forward.

Re: Jones and Wilson cut

I didn't even know we had a Jordan Jones on our list until now .

Re: Jones and Wilson cut

****ing stupid decision to keep Dalziell. Jones has shown plenty at WAFL level and is only young. This will come back to bite us.

I know another club will pick him up and will be supporting him every game.

This! Poor Jones liked him!

 

[Chris_6678]

People relax we have way to many HBF'S any way. I rember people saying keeping Nikoski was going to bite us in the ass because we delisted JMAc look how that turned out?

 

[vWestCoast]

He was showing great form in the midfield for Peel. He could of been a Goddard type player but obviously not as good.

 

[WCE_phil]

FAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRKKKKKK

Im sick for one day, one day and this kind of shit happens. God damnit why was someone at the club not screaming to delist dalziell instead of jojo

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Re: Jones and Wilson cut

Intersting but I suppose to many in front of Jones

Jordan was a victim of being too far down the pecking order. I hope he finds another club because he has what it takes. I hope he goes to Geelong.

I wonder what these means for Jordan Lockyer, would it be stupid to take another 191cm backmen given we just delisted one because he was excess to our needs?

I expect us to turn over 4 players at the end of next season of the main list. Not including trades. Dalziell, Stevenson and Neates will be playing for their careers as will Swift.

Re: Jones and Wilson cut

Maric delisted from Melbourne.
Might be worth a rookie spot, handy small forward.

Reading the Melbourne board, apparently he has plenty of talent but is a touch on the lazy side.

Sort of like a crumbing version of Josh Hill, except apparently Maric can also play HB.

I would be pleased to rookie list him but the fact is, I doubt a Vic kid would move to WA to be on the rookie list and another Melbourne based team (North?) will probably take him anyway.
