How is signing a delisted player a coup?

Jumped in before the other 16 teams beating his door down I guess

says he’s in discussions with “a few” AFL clubs about joining as a delisted free agent during the upcoming acquisition period.

Dumont was cut by the Kangaroos after the trade period, bringing an end to a stint at the club that included 113 games after being taken with pick No.30 in the 2013 draft.

Speaking ahead of the delisted free agency period, with the first window opening on November 3, the 26-year-old said he was in the mix for a spot at another club.

but says it will consider re-drafting him as a rookie. Townsend, 28, is perhaps best remembered for his role in the Tigers' drought-breaking 2017 premiership, where he came into their team in round 22 and kicked 16 goals in the ensuing five matches on the way to the flag.

Polecat delisted.

North committed to redraft him as a Rookie
Be funny if they changed their mind

Surely we'd contact him and ask the question? Good player. Wins his own ball. Great leg. No good defensively but would add depth to our midfield

no thanks.

If he is delisted we draft him and pay him anything. North have the obligation to payout his contract.

Actually I'm wondering how that works?
You delist someone you have to pay out their contact? Polecat would have to nominate a new salary on entering the draft?

Sure, but unless players have a club that's flagged they'll pay a certain amount, they'd usually go for near minimum allowed. Polec's out of league and family loaded wife (where he'll end up working in the family business) are Victorian based. There's no way he'd go anywhere outside Victoria if North were willing to take the ridicule of paying him out, rather than letting his contract drift until it's inevitable expensive conclusion. North obviously want him off the books, but no bites at other clubs, at least them picking up as much of the salary as North wanted.

Went to the North page and just read the first page of the Polec thread.

Great way to kick off a Friday arvo

Time to change the heading and get us excited for Wednesday!

 

[robbo1981]

So who are we going to pick up?

 

[Grave Danger]

There's no one to get excited about:

[robbo1981]

Probably be Dumont but I wouldn't mind giving Naish another crack .

 

[davesnothere]

Dumont would be worthwhile. He would line up best 22 puts more pressure on SPP to shape up or ship out and increases our flexibility in the draft ie. we can take Wanganeen-Milera if he's available and we think he's a good fit.

Outside of Dumont there's not really anything for us.

 

[JimmyBC]

Kornes reckons we are taking some DFA that's been playing in the SANFL.

Skinner?

 

[JimmyBC]

Skinner?

Honestly no idea he hasn't dropped the name.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

We have been linked to Skinner but we would have to draft him. He's not a DFA.

 

[Brian McGee]

We have been linked to Skinner but we would have to draft him. He's not a DFA.

Are you sure of that? Having previously been on an AFL list and delisted doesn’t he retain that status? Or do you have to be delisted in the previous year?
