I never understand why we would do this pre-trading period

 

[tugga]

Unsurprised. Dea will go as well.

"Richmond has announced changes to its playing list at the conclusion of its 2015 season.

Utility Matt McDonough and rookie Matt Arnot have been delisted, bringing the number of departures this season to six, after the retirements of four players earlier in the season."

Oh no what are we going to talk about in the preview thread next year without McDonough??? Going to miss the melts when he doesn't get picked.

 

[Cevap_Roll]

McDonough must have had the wrong attitude.
Can only explain his lack of game time.

The club knows what its doing they wouldn't delist someone if they thought there was a chance at trading them.

Can see someone picking him up though as DFA.

 

[DustinsGuns]

No surprises really.

Does this mean Matt Thomas will go around again next year?? He's not a bad footballer, but I just don't think he is good enough to be playing for a top 8 club

 

[DrMike]

McDonough one is weird, we're going to struggle for depth

Must be more to it or contingencies in place eg. free agents

 

[Madtiger2006]

McDonough was rated the next chapman by the club. Must have done something wrong because he should have got more games

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

If Gordon doesn't get delisted i'm going to be pretty pissed given McDonough has been.

Gordon will be 26 before the start of next season and will not improve on his current, which we already know is not good enough.

Involved in trade for Yarran no doubt

Is that what you've heard or an assumption?

 

[Richo Rules]

Surprised at Mc Donough unless of course someone else has shown interest and he wouldn't re-sign so we cut him
Not much currency trade wise

silly doing this before trade period, i know they have no value but Crows did trade with us to get Tambling so you never know what offers we could maybe get....

 

[Grockadoc]

McDonough was stiff, IMHO. Dimma said early on in his career he will be picking players on form, and yet players like Lloyd, Thomas and Gordon were getting games ahead of him, with Lloyd and Gordon not having anywhere near the form McDonough had in the VFL.

Must have had behavioural issues or something because skill wise he had all the tools to be a solid AFL player. Even Choco said McDonough was the best pure footballer he had come across in his time at AFL level, and that was from someone who had seen players like Wanganeen, Deledio etc all play.

Guessing at this point
Gotta wait for trade week

 

[CoggaRules]

Surely straight swap McDonough for Danger was a soda FFS

 

[MightyTiger]

Any chance to rookie donuts?
