Reported in the age 1/09/2009. Was always going to happen. I hope he finds another club but cant really see it happening.

Won't be losing any sleep over it, terrible player. Although not his fault that we choose him in the draft so I don't blame him for that. Always put in 100% but he was never up to it.

Who was it that said rumours were the club was keeping him because they thought 'he was played too early'? :o

Was the snag. Snag earmarked him as future captain.
 
Well the RFC must now be officially saved as apparently his presence on our list was undermining the entire club. Hopefully we're back on target for premiership glory with his departure....and more importantly, everybody can finally shut the **** up about the kid.


And start whinging about Rance....:o

Still was more worth to the club than Simmo. New coach might of done something to turn it around, but Simmo is just old and busted...please delist him.
 
bad luck to JON but Hardwick must of thought he could not improve his decision making.
 
You would imagine that the Club had puts the feelers out to see if any club was interested in a trade, but alas no interest in JON, don't blame them.

You would think that the same applied to Brown and Cogs and the club felt they would retire or at best get a shot through the PSD.

I'm sure the guys down at Punt road are desperately trying to find a new home for Schultz McMahon and Hughes at the minute.

As the interest dries up in players the delistings will emerge.

I think Pettifer might be the next in the gun, followed by Polak.
I don't really know Polak's improvement capabilities on the field so it is hard to call as a supporter but judging by his last game, he looks below the pace of the game.
If Polak retires the Club should offer him a role down at the Club.
 
I'm disappointed. Never really got a chance. I expect Freo or WC will rookie him.

Of all these players it always cracked me up why they picked Jon over Clarke just because we needed a tall at the time. The other players that struck me back then was Nathan Jones. He was ready to play AFL from day one. Shaun Higins is a classic when compared to JON.

Poor old Jon hey. I tried to by a Jon Badge at the g a few weeks ago and they had none at the stall. Silly me , I thought that they had sold out.
