Crows set to axe a senior player

[fryingpan]

Just headlined on ten news the Crows are set to axe one of our seniors ..

My guess is Massie.

 

[Hondo]

I reckon Massie too

Let's see

 

[Porps_is_HOT_loz]

Bit harsh if it is Massie...
i thought he showed enough potential.

 

[Stephen2]

Trigg?

 

[fryingpan]

It's Massie ..

Yet to be offered a contract.

 

[vlbl]

I would be a bit surprised by the club's decision if it was massie as he will be the obvious replacement for bass next season at least. I would have thought there was a better chance for Shirley or Doughty being delisted before massie.

 

[James23]

Meh, bit of a nothing story.. only speculation. Wouldnt mind either way really.

The most interesting piece of information from that story was that Gill hasnt signed his offered contract yet, with a little bit of interest from interstate.

 

[betterthanu]

I always thought one of Massie, Doughty and Shirley would go. Looks like Massie is the unfortunate one

I love Kris Massie but understand the wait until after the draft to see what comes up.I think he will still be there next year.

I thought he said "little interest intersate" ??

I would get rid of them in this order:

1. Doughty
2. Shirley
3. Massie

If list management is to be aggressive, i would hope 2 of them would go considering we look likely to sign all the remaining over 30s.

I really don't want Kris Massie to go!!

Losing him and Bassett from the backline makes things start to look a bit thin back there.

I agree.
Kite's looking like he's certain to get games if this report is true.

Exactly. We need another year of Massie back there.

Doughty is very replaceable despite an excellent season.

Shirley was good this year, but it is a unique position with no succession plan. It cannot be learnt in short stints and from the bench. Someone must be given responsibility here. Line-ball but I would say goodbye.

I would much prefer Massie staying for one more year, even if he started in the side and had to drop out due to Kite or someone coming in. Would be much better than not having that insurance there and I'm sure Kris would understand his position.

 

[SA Tricolours]

Possibly nothing in it.
Nothing on the Crows web site and not mentioned on Channel 7 Sports.

 

[RoosterLad]

No surprise there is nothing on the Crows site if no decision has been made yet.

 

[DaveW]

Why has everyone assumed its Massie?

Might it be Ken McGregor instead?

Good call, surely he would go ahead of Massie unless they are both out the door.

Obviously if only one is to go then it's Ken...

 

[jo172]

Jeez, who'd want to be a medium sized defender eh?

First Hart than Torney than Massie!

FWIW, i hope he's retained.

 

[King Elvis]

Massie is the easiest of Shirley/Doughty/Massie for us to cover.

I didn't think we'd keep Gill.

 

[Elite Crow]

The club has already said they will not announce delistings until after trade period. The only exception might be players they consider they couldnt work a trade for. Could it be Edwards? Has he re signed?

Channel 10 mentioned on the news here that Massie was yet to receive a contract for next year.
