@AFL_PKeane: St Kilda has re-instated Jarryn Geary to the primary list from the long-term injury list, and returned Darren Minchington to the rookie list

Ah thats a shame he's a beautiful kick, I bet Roo was glad he was playing that day. Hopefully it's not the end for him.

Roo's thoughts for the day.. Hmm something is wrong the ball is being delivered on my chest, how am I supposed to get used to this?

Re. Minchington, is it a matter of a player not doing enough when playing AFL or not doing enough to get into the AFL side via the VFL?

I reckon Minchington could be a really good small forward who could go on the ball. I really hope we don't get rid of him. He's got skill and nous, something that is sadly lacking from a number of our players.

Then why has he hardly played? He isnt fit enough and doesnt get enough of the ball and like avout 14 others isnt really an AFL footballer of any real note. It sounds harsh but we are no good for a reason and thats because we have many ordinary players.

Agreed. Delisting day is going to be very interesting this year.

not sure if I see any real bright lights coming through from the VFL Saints. Dunnell is probably playing the consistently best footy of all the Saints at Sandy and can't get a regular gig in the Saint seniors, and Huddo didn't really think Wright had a stellar game last week at the VFL, so I'm not sure how AR and co are planning their selections.

Do you think Minch will get picked up by any other AFL club should he be delisted?

No because he isnt good enough. I cant see any of our delisted players getting picked up even if it was a Shenton for example.

+1 Clearly we don't have the cattle at this stage, hopefully for our sake we can have a similar transformation from the early 00's to see how quick things can change :)

A bit like Ledger last season.

We overrate a little but the market decides when they are delisted.

Why would they pick Dunell if they're convinced he's not good enough at AFL level?

On the other hand, they think Wright has what it takes so they'll pick him if he's fit.

I wouldn't have thought it was that hard to understand.

I think this is a great way of putting it stinger. We're the bottom side. If players aren't good enough to break into our team then quite frankly they're not up to the standard and we need to delist them.

if players like Minch can't break in and hold their spot in the seniors, after a certain amount of time (say three years) then what's the point.
even at VFL I thought he was a little unnoticeable.
we need quality.

I think they are desperate more than anything- that's easy to understand

I think desparate would be picking a guy who is just about certain to be delisted because it shows there are no other options. The Wright selection makes more sense than Dunell to me anyway.

Cripps? Hutchins? Lynch? Ball? Hello.

Minch best for Sandy today. It would be a shame if he was delisted.

I wouldn't worry too much about Sandy, when he gets delisted they can sign him straight up for next year.
