His glass is half full
Well, he won't be liked by most on this board with their glass half empty approach...

Were also a Club that needs to take a risk on potential elite talent, getting players to our Club is already hard enough as it is.
I think Partington would be a solid inclusion and cap off our draft period really well.
Can he be an elite talent at AFL level if his kicking needs work though?
I'd be keen for us to look at him. Always felt he has somethingLukas Webb delisted by the Dogs. Not sure if that’s recent or not, but I’ve just seen it
Have never really followed him, hard to find much info on how or why things haven’t worked out.I'd be keen for us to look at him. Always felt he has something
Just don't get the Bennell love. The character issue is a completely distraction. This is the a guy who can't climb a flight of stairs without tearing a calf and missing 6 months of footy.Would give him a go too.
Seen him out in Freo a few times.
Absolutely woeful on the piss.
Trying to fight people and couldn't walk.
Saying that, it's in his court.
Hopefully he gets his s**t together and his body holds up.
Reckon he has some good footy left.
Keegan Brooksby delisted by WCE
Who?Jesus, that's a garbage line up.
Stretch? Webb? Allen?
They would have to be there for 8 years wouldn't they?Ok, now I'm confused. How does DFA work? I was under the assumption it was only for those not offered contracts, but Newnes was offered 2 years by saints but rejected it, electing to be delisted so he could go to Carlton.
Doesn't that just make anyone out of contract an unrestricted free agent with no compensation for the losing team?
Easy way to get Luko next year.
It's basically the same thing that happened between Gold Coast and Brisbane last year with Lyons, although I think that Lyons may have even been contracted. Despite offering Newnes a contract, St Kilda have obviously agreed to withdraw the contract and delist him. I assume that St Kilda have the option of refusing to delist Newnes, in which case he would have to enter the draft like Jack Martin may do. That being said, I'm not sure why St Kilda would be willing to let Newnes leave a for free as a DFA when they would obviously prefer to keep him.Ok, now I'm confused. How does DFA work?

How did GC not show an interest in Newnes? Oh that's right, 18 year old kids will solve their on field problems.Ok, now I'm confused. How does DFA work?

This is the thing. As a DFA he doesn't even have to consider GC as he is essentially an unrestricted but uncompensated free agent. Going into PSD it would be a risk, or at least a late pick trade or normal free agency to give something to St K.How did GC not show an interest in Newnes? Oh that's right, 18 year old kids will solve their on field problems.
Seriously, he'd be in their top 10 players and is only 26
Talk that Lachie Henderson getting chopped from Geelong
We should be going after him
Better option than Hartigan
Fills a gap while someone developsAge profile is wrong.
Keays definitely. No room for him with Charlie. He kicked 43-19 from 16 games in the NEAFL this year... and averaged 20 possies.I like the 2 Brisbane Lions lads out of the DFA list. Keays and Robertson.
Think both have plenty to add to a AFL team!
