Why can't the club announce it via Facebook?

Maybe they're too busy chatting to some 15 year old school girl from Little Rock, Arkansas

St Kilda Football Club has today confirmed the following changes to its playing list ahead of the 2011 season;

Robert Eddy - delisted
Luke Miles - delisted

Senior Coach Ross Lyon said, “We appreciate the contribution of these players and value the input they made during their time at St Kilda. The Club’s position has now been finalised ahead of next week’s AFL Draft.â€

[The Mullet]

Eddy and Miles gone.

He said the club - not Gilbert and Armo

[saintlee]

Still no delisting for Leigh Fisher or Jarryd Allan.....

Miles is a surprise. Perhaps his injury proneness has left something chronic?

I thought he showed a bit when given a chance last season...

Eddy. Well. He played a couple of GFs. More than most'll ever achieve.

I think with Miles it was a matter of us having an abundance of running defenders who can't really play KP- Dempster, Gilbert, Geary, Gwilt.

Miles was stiff, his best footy came during 09 when he couldn't crack the side.

As for Eddy, he always had a massive crack, and he sort of embodied Lyon's ability to get the most out of guys with limited ability.

But with Steven and Armitage coming through, something had to give, and it was Eddy.

Very appreciative of all their respective efforts at the Saints.

Gee thats a surprise, Miles is very unlucky, I thought he showed something, maybe they will pick him up again???

Why wouldn't these guys have been told, and cut, at list lodgement 1??

Has something happened since then that the Saints needed to open up a couple of extra spots??

There seems to be a new thread every day about some other club's discards, perhaps RL has read one of them and we're gonna take a recycled player either in the national draft, or the pre-season draft.

I don't know that all that much has happened in that time although it would have become clearer just who may be available.

Remember, the first list came pretty soon after GF2.

I'd say they just made sure they had created enough spots at List Lodgement #1 and then gave themselves a bit more time to have a think about things.

[SaintSimmo]

the club obviously is hoping on someone coming into the team....either from the draft or someone who is already on our list to replace eddy as he played in the best 22 for most of the year.
Eddy out, Steven in?
Maybe they are looking at Peterson....would be a great addition

[Beno88]

So does this mean the following players all still remain on the list?

Andrew McQualter
Sean Dempster
Paul Cahill
Leigh Fisher
Steven Gaertner
Jarryd Allen

As none of them had a contract prior to today.

[InkerSaint]

Still no delisting for Leigh Fisher or Jarryd Allan.....

But not retained, according to the H-S:

Eddy wasn't in the 22 for most of the year. He played 6 H&A games and 4 finals.

[ThePunter]

Fisher and Allen gone, McQualter, Dempster, Cahill & Gaertner retained.

[Saintersss]

Could just be put on the rookie list as I doubt anyone else will pick him up.

My guess is that Ross and others took a break and reviewed the list with a bit more time and clearer thinking after the season.

Finals is what counts. Best 22 in the finals

This. Its not uncommon, happens every year and its why their is a number of list lodgements.

And yet expendible?? I don't think he was in our best 22 anyway.

[Moccha]

Good luck to Eddy, more ticker in his little finger than most guys have in their whole body. McQualter on his last chance. Sorry about Miles, seems like a nice guy.

Theoretically.

Perhaps in hindsight Ross feels he got his "best" wrong.

[SaintSimmo]

I reckon a few clubs might be interested in eddy
