and why would we be announcing this now???
seasons not over, finals to come. when has anyone done this before?
My guess is alot of clubs are tying up loose ends getting players off the books as quick as possible so they are no longer covered by the AFL players policy in relation to covid. There would be alot of players out there right now who know they are not getting a contract next year, what incentive do they have not to start getting out and hitting the pubs, inviting girls over etc when the clubs season isnt over but they are as much chance of a game as you or I. Clubs dont want to have to deal with that responsibility and risk fines etc so pay out the remainder of the contract and release them form their contract early.

He was on the rookie could of just kept him there I think? If there is one next yr.Could Grundy be redrafted as a rookie?

4 years on a list for a couple of games years back. No club would give us anything for Atley. Hopefully for him he gets a second chance.Interesting timing thought Grundy might get another yr .
Also thought we might get something for Atley .
Has that been confirmed 38?Squad trimmed to 38. No Rookies. With these 4 gone plus Westhoff, thats's only 5 from our current list of 45. Expect at least 5 more gone to accommodate our draft picks.
Watts, Patmore, Ebert and Frederick seem the obvious ones. Sutcliffe, Mayes, Garner not particularly safe. Bonner hopefully traded for better draft pick.
Ditto..the email mentioned Patmore and Frederick have been advised they are not required for the finals and therefore will cease training with the squad until list sizes and Cat B for next season has been confirmedI received the club email announcing this about ten minutes ago. It had quotes from Chris Davies as part of it.
Continuing to try and have a player in the side that isn't up to standard to "retain structure" is what Richmond did prior to 2017. as they continually played rubbish second tall forwards to maintain structure.Buzza too, really he hasn't been needed this season but is a handy break glass gorilla forward that would have enabled us to retain structure if Charlie went down.
Where is this story actually published? I cant see it on the site? Have they gone a bit early and removed it?
Member's first email like the Hoff retiring link to the article. Here is the link, they will change the URL and put it on the front page of the websiteWhere is this story actually published? I cant see it on the site? Have they gone a bit early and removed it?

Good guess...from the club article " The decision sees them not bound by the AFL’s COVID-19 protocols."My guess is alot of clubs are tying up loose ends getting players off the books as quick as possible so they are no longer covered by the AFL players policy in relation to covid.
