Delistings

[BigMart]

Well done to those 4 lads.

Especially the three that played for the saints.

Saunders and Curran - very hard working kids

[st.byron]

That's only two off the main list, so at least one more has to go.

Chips I guess if he's to be rookied. Can't see anyone who might be retiring to create list space.

Tom Lee might stay.

Or he could be part of a package to WC

For McKenzie do you think?

Pretty sure we tried last year to secure a deal for him but it fell through, All rumors mind you and only joining the dots

Seems to have recovered well enough from his knee re-co. Played 13 games this year.

[Sainternist]

Official news: It's sayonara to Luke Delaney, Tom Curren, Josh Saunders and Brenton Payne.

All the best to them for the future.

I'm glad the delistings were made quickly. In the last few years we have been one of the last out with them. I agree with all of them being cut and wish them the best.

Well I meant Lee to WC last year not Mackenzie last year, but Mackenzie being one of jaxons tips a trade might be likely

Do WCE need someone like him? Seems to be a depth player, not a first choice KPD. If MacKenzie can't get a game at WCE, would Lee get one?

Probablly not but Lee can play either end, and they had some interest last year albeit not a lot as it turns out. Perhaps we'd be doing him a favor, perhaps he'd manage us to get the deal done. All questions I cant answer

This statement from the club about Chips:

A good idea to say something I think.

I'm still really hoping we'll rookie him, there should be space.

Given Delany has been played in preference to Lee, I'd be surprised if Lee now makes the cut.

Beat me two it!!!!!

i didn't see that other thread way way below

[SemperFidelis]

Thanks St Byron.

Having thought about it overnight, whilst I am mildly surprised about Payne, that's really only because of the short time we've had him and the lack of a chance to have a look at him.

Have loved watching Curren develop over the years, just a shame we drafted in others who have probably taken his chance to further improve in the ones.

I'll never forget Saunders first game, like a streak of greased lightening. A real pity that he hasn't been able to push through and hold that spot at the higher level.

Delaney played some solid games for us.

Sincere thanks to all 4 boys for their service to our club. May the footy gods smile on them if they are looking to be picked up elsewhere.

Yep, they'd all do very well at Richmond!

I cannot recall Saunders' game, when was it and who against?

[SemperFidelis]

I reckon it was one of the NZ games; he came on as the sub.

No real loss those 4, i hope the 4 that replace them are better quality players.

[SainterK]

Richo said tonight certainly not done and dusted in that department, wished them well and hoped their dream wasn't over...but said there will be more.

[mad saint guy]

I imagine Shenton, Lee and Murdoch will follow those four soon. Then it will be very interesting to see what happens with Chips and Holmes.

[To the top]

Given Delaney is gone, Lee will be the interesting one.

Simply, St Kilda have "invested" the best part of 2 seasons educating him to become a 194cm, 91kg defender so complimentary to Carlisle and Goddard who are the nominated KPP defenders.

And a requirement in regards structure going forward.

So are the Club in a position to assess that the result will be 2017 onwards (and post Fisher)?

When you educate you look for ultimate result - so is Lee on track to deliver?

I was a big Tom Lee fan but I truly believe he doesn't have the tank required to play AFL football.
