List Mgmt. Who is playing for their careers? 2019 edition.

[AFLQLD]

Dylan disappeared after trade period last year for quite a long period of time.

He’ll be back...and in greater numbers.

 

[Section 5]

Some nice jersey numbers have become available this year:1, 2, 4, 14, 18, 26 and 28 are available. I wonder if anyone will ask for a jersey change.

Answerth and Oscar, since they are out in the 40’s but I suppose sometimes players grow attached to their number or get superstitious about a change.

Old numbers for Birchall (14) & Ellis-Yolmen (28) they may want a change with new club.

In a crazy way Corey Lyons might survive because he hasn't been tried at senior level whereas Keays goes because he has.

100% agree. Really feel for Keays as he was essentially gifted games by Crazy Leppa when he was nowhere near ready and played out of position. Probably stunted his development too as well as his legacy, his career stats would be very underwhelming. Thought he started to turn a corner this year but unfortunately you can't argue with the logic when there's a bunch of younger guys that deserve a chance to prove themselves when the time comes. I doubt he'll get picked up but definitely rooting for him if he does. By all reports a great person who was widely respected at the club by players/officials and always had time for fans.

Walker I think will definitely get a game elsewhere, and he should. Really valuable depth and while Eagles does make some sense from a welfare/cultural point of view, it still stinks for him.

 

[brizrider]

Why do you reckon they delisted Robertson just a day earlier than the other three guys? Why not all at the same time? Walker is OS so he must have known it was coming.

 

[Lace Out]

fu** this shitty club. When bastinac goes on to win a Brownlow you'll all be sorry.

Jokes over mate

It's over when I say it's over, kiddo

 

[Lazza16]

I think they call it the JJ Liston Trophy.

Read somewhere Basti is likely to play SANFL next season.

I think Robbo just broke the news himself early.

 

[BlackGun1]

I think Robbo just broke the news himself early.

Can confirm the three others were told today. I think it's something to do with giving Robertson the extra press to help him get picked up as a DFA

 

[CarterS]

I think there will be times next season when we regret not having Walker, we are not wanting for backup but nearly all of it is untested at AFL level.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Nor on the "am" radio band it was situated at 1179 but that is "The Vision Australia Radio service in Melbourne" also known as 3RPH (Radio for the Print Handicapped) same band different name....3RPH

3KZ itself evolved into GOLD104.

Corey played at a consistently high level in the NEAFL this year, can't be far away if he stays on the list.

Thought that might be the case

 

[Lace Out]

Can’t see any surprises there all the best to everyone for the future

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Really sad to see Keays go, I think he had his best football ahead of him and could have become a good player for us. That said, I'm very glad to see Corey Lyons still on the roster, I think he'll make his way into the seniors one day and prove his worth.

 

[luthor]

I'm a bit shocked about Keays getting the chop TBH, especially considering his (relatively) young age

I didn't catch a lot of the NEAFL this year but from all reports he tore it up nearly every week.

I wish him well and hope he gets another shot at it elsewhere

 

[Crimso]

These delistings etc., it's obvious to me, are the result of you guys bitching about these players not being picked to play! You all must have pissed the coaches off so much the decision was made to get rid of these excellent but under utterlised footballers! It's your fault!

 

[trikster]

Robbo, Basti, Walker, Keays ... what they have in common is they were in the 23-30 range on our list and the coaches know what their ceiling is. 31+ on our list are all the young players who haven't had a chance at senior level but will/could have a higher ceiling (E Smith, Ballenden, Wooler, T Berry, Joyce, Payne, Skinner, C Lyons, McFadyen, Madden, Fullarton). Time for some of these guys to get a shot and show what they have while this years draft picks get a year at NEAFL to develop themselves and their game.

Would beg to differ RE Keays, certainly never got the chance to have some continuity in the ones in the latter years.

 

[scoman]

The Keays delisting really hurts. I'm hopeful Gold Coasts extended rookie list gives Keays a chance to stay local and have another shot. It's hard to judge his NEAFL form from last year as he has always been a bit of a NEAFL stud playing regular high possession, multiple goal games through the middle in past seasons before his switch to the forward line this year.

 

[Gadzorks]

Can we get a conspiracy theory going here?

keays and cutler are good looking roosters, Basti is probs a level down but would get second looks from a lot of young women. Walker got prettier when he got his gair back (and got more games so maybe they realised he wasn’t a 30yo on his last legs).

Can’t put the kept players in the same category (Matho, bundy...) so maybe if list managers are old and ugly and taking out their frustrations on the beauty of youth.

Proof will be in the draft - no pretty boys and the theory holds.

ps life’s boring without footy..

That's why I never got drafted

 

[Lionheart182]

Kind of surprised about the reaction around Keays to be honest. Elite runner but not much else there as a league footballer IMO. Seems like a decent kid though and wish him all the best.

 

[iBeng]

I can assume the reasoning for losing Walker is 1) Adams and 2) Payne. I wonder if we really needed to draft Adams, Walker seemed to be doing a similar role with a more than serviceable intercepting mark.

Payne must be the long term goal to replace Adams.
