News Essendon list changes (Update: Neagle and Atkinson delisted)

Re: Essendon list changes

While it is disappointing for the players in question I am happy with these decisions.

Changes had to be made to the list and both are what you would call ''list cloggers''. Sorry if that is harsh but you cannot honestly tell me they are anything otherwise.

Ben told me and I had it confirmed by someone else.

Thats true. Well, I will sleep on it and see what news tomorrow brings.

Re: Essendon list changes

I've heard there'll be a couple more delisted, initials Jay Neagle and Jarrod Atkinson.

Have been offered rookie spots, but if not, they're off.

Surely they would take that.

Re: Essendon list changes

neagle would be stupid not to. atk might be able to find himself a new home.

Re: Essendon list changes

I think Atko's already declined the rookie spot.

 

[stay true]

Interesting considering that Neagle is contracted and supposedly came back from the break 8kgs lighter. Confused.

Re: Essendon list changes

Somewhat surprised with that..
Damn this is seeming like the longest off-season sing 1999 isn't it?

Re: Essendon list changes

Correct, and the decision was made only recently, certainly not in time to accept a trade for Houli.

Would also give T Slattery and Still a chance for a reprieve (just me speculating).

At this stage, it looks like:

Senior List:
OUT: Atkinson, Neagle, Slattery, Still, Laycock, Houli
IN: Howlett, pick 8, pick 31, pick 48, pick 65, pick 82

Rookie List:
OUT: Bock, Marigliani, J Williams, Howlett
RETAINED: Crameri, Silverlock, Quinn
IN: Webster, Meli, pick 9, pick 26

This just made the drafting competition a whole lot harder.

If the rumour is true, then it is very poor list management on our behalf.

Players were probably told what shape they had to come back in. If they don't want to make the sacrifices they shouldn't be on the list.

Apparently NEagle lost 8 kilos though.

If they weren't happy with that, thats a little harsh

Re: Essendon list changes

Doesn't necessarily make him fitter though.

There has been speculation that Neagle has lost 8kgs for the start of the pre season. Was he supposed to put on more weight ?

My point is that the club should have assessed the list prior to trade week. We will now potentially delist players without any compensation. We could have at least got trade pick for Houli.

Personally I would select players on the basis of how fit and how well they will perform during the season. Not necessarily how fit they are at the start of pre-season.

Feel free to disagree ...

Fair enough. I wouldn't think they would've delisted him if he had lost 8 kilos. So I would assume if this rumour is right, that one is wrong.

I would argue that if a player isn't able to meet certain requirements in the off-season they don't deserve to be given a run during the season. Especially since Neagle hasn't really set the world alight. Also, it must have been a pretty big stuff up for him to be straight out delisted. Directly going against the coaches' orders or something like that.

If its consistent, then fair enough. However if Hurley, Pears or Ryder came back a little heavier, I seriously doubt they would be delisted.

 

[whats_at_stake]

If this turns out to be true my faith in the list management and club is further diminishing.

Not Ben's alt account right?

Re: Essendon list changes

Not neagle!!!!

Not Lenny!!!

sorry guys

Good to see the back of Neagle and Atko. Jeagle was just too fat and lazy, not worth the time and Atko was just shit, shouldve went instead of T.slatts and Still.

Agreed, amature hour again at the EFC. Should've just traded Houli even if we didn't need the pick, **** this shit.

 

[yaco55]

Two separate issues and please dont confuse.

1) Houli trading issue - Should have got pick 46 and moved on.

2) Delisting of Atkinson and Neagle. Lets move on and DONT give up rookie spots for these two players.

Looks like we can now have a proper crack at the ND.
