Absolute pile of sh*t to be honest. We've taken two definitive best 22 players in 6 years (one was an off-cast from another club) and a borderline best 22 player
wasn't Porps delisted and then came back a legend a few years later? I'd think delisting lights a fire in the belly more so than a relist just so you can give us some social media content but that's the closest thing I can think of.Are there any wishful thinking stories of players like Davis who suddenly come good after years on a list. Half glass full wishful thinker
Missed the last few did Fejo get selected ?
They can yeah.
Nope. Me too.I must be the only one that has a bit of time for Davis
Are you Ben Davis?I must be the only one that has a bit of time for Davis
Are you Ben's Dad?Nope. Me too.

Look at the chances he’s had, you can complain about the years on the list but the opportunities and way he’s been treated have been a joke.Are you Ben's Dad?
I doubt they will.Have they indicated at all they want to?
Wow that's a quality meltI'd like to hear HO justify that selection policy.
I assume we feared that Luke Nankervis wouldn't get to Pick 4 in the Rookie Draft so grabbed him in the PSD. However, this seemed unlikely. If he's on a 1 year contract then fair enough, but if it's 2 yr then that's a loss of list flexibility with a bit of a crunch looming at the end of next season. Not delighted but can live with it.
As for Davis in Rookie Draft ...... FFS why? Do Reid, Ogilvie and the coach believe he has the potential to become a first team player for the rest of his career despite only 3 mediocre games to his mid career? It's an insult to our NGA's O'Laughlin and the chubby midget with supreme skills that we didn't even think they were worth a look in preference. Reselecting David Mackay would have been preferable. Even selecting a 67yo Bob Neil would have been preferable!
Are you Kane Johnson?Are you Ben's Dad?
By taking Rachele, Taylor & Soligo in the ND, Nankervis in the PSD, and promoting Keays off the rookie list, we now have 37 players on the senior list.Nankervis! Excellent.
Can someone who understands these things explain why we wouldn't have just taken him yesterday instead of passing then? Is it to do with the list lodgement stuff last night?
Worse list clogger than Matthew Smith
It means we've switched from a 36/6/2 list structure, to 37/5/2.Does this mean we aren’t upgrading Keyes?
Personally I would have thought ROC would have been a better option for a re-rookie. Kid played 1 game, wasn't awful, and had two years affected by Covid. I dont dislike Davis, but he has had his chance....in fact 5 years of them....I'd like to hear HO justify that selection policy.
