Re: Holmes delisted Pierce to rookie Bains stays until Decem
I think clubs would be more interested in Holmes, actually. Pierce has not developed at all in the five years he's been at the club. Once Marshall showed he could play a bit, it was always going to be curtains for Holmes and Pierce.

Re: Holmes delisted Pierce to rookie Bains stays until Decem
Very sorry Jason Holmes didn't quite make it with us.
I loved the way he approached the whole project.
Showed some massive talent in the tap department -- not quite enough elsewhere.
Good luck Jason! Hope someone else picks you up.

My query is why have they committed to redrafting him ? Golden handshake thank him and wishing him all the bestSaintly66 wrote:Don’t think anyone would want to.sunsaint wrote:Is there ANY chance that another club could swoop in on Pierce before we re-draft?
or is there an "un-written" agreement between clubs?
It would be hugely advantageous if another club did take a punt

Re: Holmes delisted Pierce to rookie Bains stays until Decem
I don’t understand why we are bothering to redraft Pierce - surely it’s better off drafting a new rookie who has some chance of being a player?? We really hate delisting players it seems.sunsaint wrote:My query is why have they committed to redrafting him ?

Re: Holmes delisted Pierce to rookie Bains stays until Decem
Pierce is contracted so we have to pay him anyway. What's the chance of him as a ruckman coming good after a few years in the system as opposed to about the 90th best 18 year old?saintspremiers wrote:I don’t understand why we are bothering to redraft Pierce - surely it’s better off drafting a new rookie who has some chance of being a player??

Re: Holmes delisted Pierce to rookie Bains stays until Decem
Pierece is contracted for 1 more season I think. I guess they're just keeping him because of that and as added backup for Billy, Hickster and Marshall.

Re: Holmes delisted Pierce to rookie Bains stays until Decem
Lewis Pierce has 2 years left believe it or not.... given 3 years after 2016...
Strange decision and now looks like a big error after just one year delisting him to rookie status..

Lewis Pierce is a real footballer unlike Longer. He will make it!

Previously delisted.
Joe Baker-Thomas and Nick Coughlan, but only Coughlan was on the rookie list. Joe was a Kiwi and on another list.

So it was Joe Baker Thomas from Northern Island.

Holmes was never good enough and that was expected as he didn't grow up on the game. I don't think Mason Cox will make it either

These non Irish imports are always pushing s*** up a hill to make it to the top. Its even very hard for the Irish lads.magnifisaint wrote:Holmes was never good enough and that was expected as he didn't grow up on the game. I don't think Mason Cox will make it either
Its even very hard for a local kid from the suburbs that has played footy since Auskick to make it to AFL level so its a strong tribute to Holmes he eneded up playing a few games.
