Says the one labeling people racist for calling an average footballer...an average footballer. Grow up
If he is an average footballer in a side getting smashed weekly by 12 goals why are you putting him at the bottom end of the pack ?

true, but ever since TonyDean left everything has hit the fan.Seems that way, however putting it in that context may shock a few people out of it.![]()

Calm down Acker.
He is far from the only one saying Skinner will get delisted. I would say that the majority of people think he will be.
He was a mature age recruit, has been at the club 2 years, and has still only played about 2 full games and a few as a sub. Logic would say that he is in trouble.
Spot on. He deserves another chance. He lead into more contests than any other player in our forward line, and showed some really great skill. Stuffed a few things up but he's played 7 games, give him a break. He lacks a tank? That can be fixed with a big pre-season. He lacks confidence? Surely kicking him out of the team isn't going to fix that.23 years old at the start of next season and his biggest problem up till this year was he lacked stamina as a lot of Aboriginal kids from remote areas do.
Has just started running out over 75% game time and is kicking a goal a game in a side struggling to kick 9 goals a match and only averages 40% of ball forward of center in matches
Unlike a few others he can kick beyond 50 mt - I think there are others closer to the exit than he is at the moment such as Sherman
He shows enough to suggest with another preseason in him he will improve
It is not as if the Bulldogs have a lot of guys who can play forward, contest a mark and kick a goal are kicking down the door demanding selection right now.
He has only played 6 games this year and over 60% of our list have kicked less goals than him this year
WESTERN Bulldogs skipper Matthew Boyd has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the Western Bulldogs until at least the end of 2014.
This sounds about right and is probably where the club's thinking is at. First he has to show in 2013 that he can play good footy fairly consistently, but if he gets on the park most weeks I don't think he's a serious candidate for delisting.What does Coons have to-do for an extension after 2013???
This isn’t bashing up on Adam I have a lot of respect and time for him but how long can you live off past deeds and shuffle along with a few bright moments albeit none of his fault (knee)
My opinion is that he can play at least 15 out of 22 games as well as being in the top 5 players for us at least 10 times I would be happy to sign him to a 2 year contract.
He is only 27 he still has years of AFL left in him, it’s just that knee....
one year extensions at a time for him.What does Coons have to-do for an extension after 2013???

So out of contract I think are these
Morris
Marko
Talia
Howard
Libba
Pearce
Fletcher
Coons
Gia
Vespa
Cross
Grant
Ado
Lower
Greenwood
Redpath
Jong
Austin
That's a pretty big list 14 main list spots and 4 rookie spots...
I think we will see one more year with Howard, Macca seems to like him from something I was reading the other day, can't remember where though.So from that list, I can see us losing Vesz, Greenwood, Redpath, Jong, Austin and Grant to delistings while Gia to retirement and probably Howard being traded. Then Cross could possibly be a retirement and Marko might be moved on at the end of the year too.
