Bollenhagen is at least a chance of becoming something. Clancee is nothing but a name and a $5 haircut. I wouldn't be opposed to keeping him on the rookie list, but we can't. So the choice has been made as far as I'm concerned.

Sibosado has had 3 years to get fit. And it's yet to happen.

LOL so unlike you Chris to be so poetically damning :D
 
I would keep Bollenhagen and Sibosado, and delist Crowley and Pearce. The first two might not make it, but at least they have something to work with (skills, speed, etc.).

I still remember watching Bollenhagen explode from the centre against Geelong in his 1st pre-season and slam the ball through from 60m. Give Lyon a chance to work with his talent.

What are peoples thoughts on Mitchell Grigg, have read earlier reports saying he'd go top 10, and compered as a cross between Rich and Hill, more inside though and clerance machine, with super left boot. Emma Quaile dosn't have him in her top 15. Would we strike with one of our three picks?
 
This was Adelaide's review of Craig's year...



Injuries have held him back, and he hasn't really been developed into a full time KPP. Still plays as that undersized ruckman, part time KPP.

And Savage did return to Norwood from GWS earlier this year. Has been playing with the U18s but hasn't really set the world on fire. Bit disappointing considering he showed promising signs in the NAB Cup.

Craig has been given the boot. Would he be worth a punt as a rookie?

Apparently very slow. Not sure he's what we need, we've got Mundy and Barlow in the same vein.

Same, I thought it was Hilly. Plenty of players struggle in their second year - it's a named medical condition I believe.
My theory is that in the first year they are under the radar and have not done any heavy weight gain yet. Heavy enough (just) to play a few AFL games, but then after another year and pre-season they are still becoming accustomed to their larger bodies. Give em time to grow into MEN.

Sam Menegola has been delisted by Hawthorn.
Wasn't he only picked up last year?

Know Sam, went to school with him. Very disappointing news, but Hawthorn is a hard team to break into, especially as a foward.

Has elite endurance and good hands though, wouldn't mind if we threw him a lifeline, get him back to Perth.

Rumour is he wanted to be upgraded off the rookie list and the Hawks did not want to so he asked be delisted so he could go into the PSD.

Hard to see him fit into our team, he would have to push out Mayne, Mellington, Fyfe and co, We don't have a problem in the mid-sized forward category.
 
Can you blame him though Nickos?

You wouldn't want to be fighting for a gig up forward against Buddy and Cyril. Would be purely a business/career decision.
