These players will be gone at the end of the year.

- Brett Peake
- Stephen Dodd
- Kepler Bradley
- Dean Solomon

They join

- Adam Campbell
- Ryan Murphy
- Daniel Gilmore
- Josh Head

8 players dumped. Drum probably doesnt get another gig either, but if he does he is better than Campbell, Murphy or Bradley so there is an upside.

 

[Lach72]

If we're getting rid of that many talls Drum stays.

Was good today

Yeah agreed. I was at the game and he was good. Has at least got a football brain.

 

[The Night Shift]

Kepler would be handy to hang on for depth....

 

[sumavich]

Drum was good, and I reckon Kepler is going to stay !
Dodd, Grover, Schammer, Peake were very average today as senior players.
Ibbotson needs to grow a heart !

 

[Sigwald]

I'd keep Bradley and definitly Drum but would add to the people that are gone our perpetually injured list:

- Andrew Browne
- Andrew Foster
- Brock O'Brien

Out of those I would keep at most one and thank the others for their heart. Personally I'd keep BOB.

That's one hell of a turn over again! Luckily we've got some good replacements on the rookielist. What would be our chances of enticing some young depth players from other clubs into the PSD? Looks like we'll have enough picks for it.

 

[jinxd]

Ibbo had another average game today and Schammer looked slow (especially against Davey!) Hase did ok, but I wonder if he'll get his two year contract.

If I had to pick the delisted ones:
- Browne
- Foster
- Campbell
- Murphy
- Gilmore
- Head
- Peake
- Soloman

 

[Rob]

Keep Kepler, add Browne, consider Grover, Foster, BoB.

 

[Lach72]

Grover was awful today, and at one stage we ahd a forward line that was Bradley Grover McPharlin, Mayne Peake and Headland.

The ball was wet and we have no crumbers...muppetry from the coaching panel

 

[Carl Hooper]

- Brett Peake Not sure, one more season I reckon
- Stephen Dodd Yes, he could go
- Kepler Bradley Absolute spud, don't need him
- Dean Solomon One more season for the veteran

They join

- Adam Campbell Of course
- Ryan Murphy No doubt
- Daniel Gilmore Absolutely
- Josh Head May aswell

Yup.

 

[samseenee]

Same old thread started after the same old performances about the same old players..... week after week after week....


Why we didnt play Walters instead in those conditions is beyond me,....

Indeed, why ???

 

[Mundy]

Gone
Dodd - Cant defend and burns us the other way.
Campbell - Spud
Gilmore - Spud
Head - Spud
Browne - Spud
Obrien - Spud


Maybe Gone/ hope go
Headland
Grover

 

[Selggad]

Dodd has been ok for the last few weeks but today he really showed why he has to go.

Bradley should stay and Drum has definitely shown a bit in his two games. Two more weeks to determine whether he stays or goes.

The others have been done to death. This lot are out of contract at the end of the year, are also not AFL level and would be the most obvious candidates. That is 7 straight away.

Browne
Head
Gilmore
Foster
Peake
Campbell
Dodd

Solomon also is out of contact and I would think will retire, or not offered another contract. That's 8. I'd say as the simplest solution it would be not a bad one.

The next three may be saved by their contract status though I would happily pay out Murphy.

Thornton - 2010
Murphy - 2010
Grover - 2010

Grover may retire. If he does, there's 9. If Murphy is paid out, that's 10.

In a way who we keep is shuffling deckchairs on the titanic. Which of the god-awful, non-AFL capable, clanger kings do we keep? Who cares. SO longer as we get rid of most of them.

 

[hoss]

Gone
Dodd - Cant defend and burns us the other way.
Campbell - Spud
Gilmore - Spud
Head - Spud
Browne - Spud
Obrien - Spud

Headland
Grover

I know Murphy is the the worst player on our list but we don't have to get rid of him 5 times!

 

[dominguez]

Peake and Dodd won't be dropped let alone de-listed unfortunately.

 

[Rob]

I know Murphy is the the worst player on our list but we don't have to get rid of him 5 times!

Don't have to, but it would be preferable.

Get out.
Really, get out.
GTFO!
Are you ****ing deaf? I said GTFO!
You're being silly now. **** off forever.

[Admiral Byng]

I'd keep Brock O'Brien for sure. He is still only 21. I know he is out for this season with injury but I reckon hang on to him.

 

[Mundy]

I'd keep Brock O'Brien for sure. He is still only 21. I know he is out for this season with injury but I reckon hang on to him.

Why?

He has had 3 years, shown little when in the side, was given a one year contract at the start of the year, at best he'll get a rookie spot.

 

[IbbosBFF]

I'd keep Brock O'Brien for sure. He is still only 21. I know he is out for this season with injury but I reckon hang on to him.

What role will be play and is he ahead of these players?

Duffield
Broughton
Pearce
Pratt
Hayden
Soloman
Suban

or

Palmer
Schammer
Ibbotson
Hill
Haselby
Hinkley
Crowley
(Draft pick. Trengrove/Morobito/Lucas)

Adding his injuries troubles I would rather:

A) Delist and re-rookie him. Pearce or Van Berlo takes his senior spot.
B) Delist and draft a KP mature age recruit in his place.

 

[purplepassion82]

Those who are saying that Dodd will be gone have no idea. Sure we might ALL like him to be gone as he is of the dumb arse brigade, however the fact the he has played every (or close to?) game this year shows that he is in the plans for the future.

 

[Admiral Byng]

He has only played 2 matches. Was brought into the side last game in 2007 when a whole heap of players got dropped for going out drinking. His debut game was pretty good as I recall.

I can't remember his 2nd game.

I think at 21 he is worth holding on to. If he can get over his injuries and have a good preseason he is the sort of player that can have an impact immediately.

 

[Stronzo]

Agree with all of plugga's post, but I still think O'Brien could do something, so one year deal there.

 

[Selggad]

BoB's second game was an absolute shocker, where he almost lost it for us off his own boot. I think it was against Melbourne. (We did lose it, it just wan't entirely his fault)
