It may be simplistic, but maybe they just agreed that he wasn't able to contribute so they delisted him. It may receive scorn from the rabble, but it is more sensible to bring in someone who may have only a slight glimmer of hope, than to keep someone who doesn't.

It leaves plenty of argument over why we've kept players too long in the past, or why some players got a 3 year deal instead of 1. But I'm happy it's being done correctly now and hope they continue. I was shocked about White, who always seemed to dodge the bullet, and just expected both Smedts and Boeky to get another 1yr deal, because that's the way it used to be done.

I'm really not sure if player a (Carlton) < player b (Hawks) or player b = player c ,etc, but if we can replace someone on our list, who we have determined cannot serve any purpose in the future, it can only be a good thing. Even if the replacement amounts to nothing, at least we are trying to improve our list. I'd rather that than to keep the fringe players and extend the rebuild into perpetuity.

Which rabble? Isn't it a mistake to have to pay out a player?
We have to remember that we're not only paying out that player, but then also having to pay for someone who'll be taking that list spot.

We may well have some money in the bank, but you don't want to be wasting it on player pay-outs.
 
Kind of a cross between Tuohy and Armfield, except a left footer.


I'm thinking we won't touch Stavrou, and we'll be chasing at least one more DFA. Oxley or Clayton might appeal as utilities, but that's just off the top of my head.

They might take a chance on Tom Lamb with a one year deal too.

Not sure he fits the SOS/Bolton good character criteria
 
More like he has Armfield's toe poke passes when at full tilt, but he has Tuohy's precision from 50 when he gets the receive (but arguably more accurate, if not as booming a kick).

He's more defensively sound than Armfield, but not as much as Tuohy; he's got Armfield's running capacity, but closer to Tuohy's max pace. None of them are particularly agile, but certainly acceptable from an AFL perspective.


Last year he had to manoeuvre Geelong out of the running to draft Cam.

So he can play?
Averaged 20 game this year

Perhaps, but he's arguably worth interviewing.

He can, but he's got an awkward running style at times. That's probably what's turned him into a moneyball effort for SOS.
 
Happy with the delistings and it is what it is.

No more Simon White has me celebrating honestly and it was a decision made 2 years to late.

I know what you're getting at but one can feel a little different having watched the work Whitey did at our club/for our club.

Decision is right though, as tall defenders aren't exactly something we need. Reckon he may find a way of somehow hanging around.......President? :)

Great bloke I agree but we carried him to long on field.

Hope he sticks around for us and maybe works himself into a coaching role but as a an actual footballer I despised him and it was heart in mouth when ever he touched the ball.

I was the one who got threatened by that poster, you should get your facts right before you criticise me

You weren't really threatened ... unless bold fonts get you defensive.
 
The only objection I've ever heard in regards to cutting a heap of players is the notion that we should replace them through the draft. That was never going to happen. As it stands we will probably end up with 5-6 mature aged players, 4 youngsters in the draft and the rest as rookies.

Not the same as giving 2 year contracts to a few players after 90 in the draft.
