Freeman delisted

[Linton Lodger]

Disappointing, he has great hands and obviously guts. If he has lost his speed and kicking penetration then its understandable, although a tough call. He didn't look out of sorts at AFL level, I hope we rookie him.

The bar is set and there's going to be a fair few more I would think.

[bigcarl]

Lethers is a hard arse. I like it.

Nothing wrong with that and I hope you are right. In this case it was a particularly soft target. I mean Freeman’s hardly to blame for our disastrous season.

[Saintly66]

If he stays delisted and doesnt get rookied, but we keep Newnes who has 4 kicks a game and flat out refuses to win a hard ball himself, this club can go fornicate itself

Don’t be silly, newnes is great leadership material...yawn.
What a crock

[ss1986]

A bit hysterical from some but I imagine the delistings/retirements to be

Freeman
Wright
Stevens
Minchington

Lonie will be rookied if Menzel comes
Mav and Armo will be traded to the GC
Longer traded for late pick

Gilbert will be kept on if he isn’t traded.

In will be
1st round pick
2nd rnd pick from GC for Weller and Armo
3rd rnd pick for Longer
Pick 57
Pick 62
Lycette
Hannebery traded for compensation pick from AFL
Menzel

So Far

If Gilbert stays....

[Dave McNamara]

Apparently Nathan has lost his pace.

We need his list space to bring in pace.

We need his list place for Hannebury.










I've supported the mighty Saintas since 1967. (Yep, still waiting.)

Have seen plenty of heart-wrenching stuff in that time. Way too much.

But..., this is the first time... ever... that I've thought that our beloved club has lost the plot.

I won't go on strike (as in, not renew my membership), but, I have now finally lost all confidence in those currently pretending to be running our great club.








Prove me wrong you bastards!!!

And bloody soon!!!

Perhaps they told him quick because they didn't want to bugger him around?

[The Recruit]

Don’t see any reason to delist Gilbert. He is a very good 30-40 player on a list
Sandringham for most of the year unless he needs to play due to injury

[maverick]

Yeah ruthless decision
What a crock
Completely crap list management more like
He showed a bit in 2 games, why not give him the last game if we were going to delist him? Not like we got. Game into a young player
Joke

He was concussed at training last week. Couldn't play the last game.

Fair enough
You watch sandy a lot would you have retained him?

[Enrico_Misso]

Collingwood with all their money and medical expertise came to the conclusion that his hamstrings were shot.
Given they invested a first round pick on him it would not have been an easy decision.

So what do we do?
We decide to have a punt that maybe their medical advice was wrong.
And/or with our lesser resources we could somehow rehabilitate him.

It was NEVER going to happen.

It was recruiting at it's dumbest.
Why bring in problems?

It's the sort of dumb mindset that sees a team wasting a Number 1 pick on a player with an ongoing medical condition that prevents them achieving the fitness levels required to be an elite player.

Rather have a younger Freeman who may make it,than a older player who has played his part,but isnt our future.Especially when we need mids not hbf .No disrespect to Gilbert

[brewski]

Freezer showed more in 2 games of footy than half our team showed all year .... we are a joke

Gilbert is a defender who can play tall
Has a big body that can play most weeks.

Freeman has played two games of footy.

If he helps us get over the line in 1-2 weeks when our best 29 arnt avaialbe through injury then he has done his job.

That's not quite right Enrico.

From memory: Freeman wasn't happy with the results of "all their money and medical expertise".

Not relying on memory: The Skunks didn't conclude that his hammies were shot. The Skunks didn't want Freeman to leave.

[St Chris]

Trout must have found a young kid with a great family, a good kid, who will be available at Pick 125, cause that’s where his replacement is coming from...

FMD.

Good luck Freeza, hope you find a way back into the AFL system somehow, you deserve better.

Thats were we differ,rather get games into,Clarke,Cottfield,White,etc who maybe our future than our past,Armo in the same boat imo

[bigred]

Sorry, but we are a football club and not a charity. There is no room for emotion or romance with list spots.

Cruel as it may seem, Freeman is a victim of the environment of elite level football.

Good on him for his dedication and resilience. But we have to move on.

Exactly. He won't be the first and last cut.

[axcellence]

[Greg T]

The only depth gilbert brings to our list is what tier level he nails when he kicks it out on the full
