Good but tough decision by the club.
As a supporter, I'm happy with our list management in this pre season thus far, now the next challenge is to fill the spaces with some talent!
9 spots up for grabs taking into account we already have Ray.
What and how many picks do we have in the draft?
Does this almost certainly mean we will participate in pre season draft with 9 spots to effectively fill on our senior list?

Just thought I would share a funny text message from a Richmond supporter mate of mine...in response to my text "Saints delist Aaron Fiora"
He wrote,
"he was no good at Richmond. Not sure what the Saints were thinking. Maybe you could plan your next consulting job to be a review of the AFL recruitment philosophies based on women's observations that 'men don't change' and neither to footballers"

Amazing what being de listed can do for your profile
BANG BANG
Finally it looks like they're getting tough!
Ive always thaught Fizz was a decent player (but not a stand out) and have defended him against others at times. I find it annoying that people who bag players all of a sudden change their tune as soon as the player is de listed.
Some consistancy would be nice.

Aaron Fiora's misfortune is someone's elses good luck.
Leigh Fisher can now breathe easier - he has survived this round of cuts.
However the club still can delist players after the main national draft, before nominations for the pre season draft.
I could not see either of these players playing in St Kilda' next premiership team.
X Clarke contract only renewed for only one year - this means he is on a final warning to get his body right and play to his ability or he will not see any more years at the saints.

When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

He had his moments. Some of his play was actually quite good.
Good luck to him on his future endeavours. I tihnk he's till got a bit to offer to another club and wish him every success in doing so.

When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Finally ....
The guy had ability but he was never going to reach his potential because he lacked any heart and belief....
SAINTS another day older another day closer to the Holy Grail!

But never had anything against him as a bloke.
Was always ready to have a chat when i saw him.
Therefore all the best for the future Aaron, just glad it's not playing for us.

Black is million times better than Fiora.......it's about quality not quantity.
But to your second point, you seem to have a firm grip on that issue!!!

Amen to that -Eastern wrote:Good Luck to Fizz for the future. He got to wear a saints jumper, thats much, much more than I ever did !!
Firstly he was a better footballer than I will ever be; and
Secondly he was a Sainter
Thats enough for me!!!!
Good luck Aaron in everything you do from now on (with the rider that if you play for another club - may you have stinkers against the Saints)
