Delistings- club lists- as at 31st Oct

[skeptic]

Surprised about McLaren, they were extatic to get him only a few years ago, beat a few clubs for him including our own, I think?

Would we give him a go, considering we need a ruckman?

This is a guy who has been replaced by Ackland

[Pwoit]

I would say anyone having to deal with this for the rest of their lives would struggle with day today life period.

Three off the senior list (which means we have six spots open after the retirements), and two rookies have now been delisted.

There is also a distinct possibility of a couple more to come in the wake of trade week.

I don't really like this time of year, but the club has definitely done the right thing here.

[saintm]

When are we likely to hear news of the clubs delistings - or will they wait until after trade week to see if any deals can be done?

[congorozides]

McLaren is only 196 cm tall,he's not tall enough or good enough at this level to be a ruckman.

We need to draft for need and we don't need duds.....

Harsh but fair. Dylan is too short to be a ruckman and too crap to be a KPP. Sorry mate.

[congorozides]

For footy Trivia buffs - Daniel Ward was a listed Fitzroy player (not a senior player at the time) - so joins Chrissy Jonno as the last of the RoyBoys.

[saintbrat]

have only four teams made delistings?

Kangaroos today.

[Armoooo]

Djaran Whyman has been delisted by the roos, I thought he looked ok, can/should we rookie list him? or maybe pick him up with a VERY late draft pick?

[Oh When the Saints]

Believe he was previously a rookie with the Kangas before being promoted??

If so probably not up to it.

So far Godfrey only delisted player I would consider - could fill a tagging role until Baker/Attard return. Minimum wage.

Dam that's a pity...
As for Godfrey, would you have him agead of Birss and L.Fisher?

[Oh When the Saints]

Godfrey is tough as nails, and could play the Powell role for us well.

Has performed credibly on some big-name midfielders.


We will be without Bakes for the first 5 weeks, and no Attard for the year.


Leigh Fisher doesn't have the tank at this stage to play a full-time role in the midfield IMO.

Godfrey has experience ... poor skills and average decision-making, but could certainly fill a void for us.

Was asked to do too much at Melbourne - needs to be given 1 role to focus on and I reckon we could get a decent 50 games out of him.

His sills are pathetic and i am not sure with the way we play under RL we van have a player who turns it over nearly every time he gets it.

[mad saint guy]

Djaran Whyman is worth a look. The Kangas obviously want to develop Campbell, Thomas, Sansbury and to retain Harding as their small forwards, but Whyman has plenty to offer.

He just turned 24 and played 3 games this year. He kicked 2 goals in both of his first 2 games, but hardly got on the ground in his third game.

I haven't seen a lot of Whyman, but he has very good skills, good pace, lots of flair and a great goal sense. A down side is that he might not have a huge work rate. In the couple of VFL games I have seen him play in, he has barely left the 50.

I think we'll see a fitter, trimmed down Leigh Fisher next year. We will try to get Raph Clarke to take his spot in defence and turn Fisher into a midfielder. Will probably be our number one tagger at the start of the season unless we back someone like McQualter or Armitage.

Don't want Godfrey. We don't need any 27 year old players who are incapable of kicking a footy properly. Develop the kids rather than squeezing out a year or two from an old hack.
