You were delisted.

What, I just thought they left me off the list.

Brad Howard still training with the saints.
Choose one of the answers below:

1 He is hoping the saints will redraft him.
2 He is hoping the saints will take him back as a rookie.
3 No one has had the guts to tell him he was delisted.
4 His delisting was not valid - his name was not on the final senior list but his name did appear in the Deletions under Delisted either.

I think Number 2 will happen.

Goes along with RL's "4-Year Apprenticeship" idea, but we would need a shocking injury run (or a remarkable pre-season) for Howard to be playing regular senior footy in 2009.

Brad Howard still training with the saints.

And why not?

Still trying to be a professional footballer..... keeping himself in shape for anyone who might be interested in picking him up. (Including us).

Toowoomba product Brad Howard was de-listed by St.Kilda yesterday – three months after signing a new two-year contract for 2009-2010.
It is understood the Saints have committed to re-list Howard as a rookie if he is not picked up by a rival club in the national draft.
Howard, drafted from Redland in the second round of the 2006 AFL national draft, has played two senior games in two years at Moorabbin.
Also de-listed yesterday as AFL clubs were required to submit final club lists in preparation for the 29 November NAB AFL Draft were retired Hawthorn champion Shane Crawford, Melbourne defender Carroll and North Melbourne utility Leigh Brown.
This allowed the AFL to confirm the final selection order for a draft in which the Brisbane Lions will have seven selections – 7-25-41-57-69-81-82.
Fremantle will have most selections – eight. And Sydney and the Western Bulldogs will have least picks – three. And in the Dogs’ case, their first round pick is already committed to father/son choice Ayce Cordy.
The full list is:
Adelaide - 5 selections - 10, 28, 44, 60, 72
Brisbane Lions - 7 selections - 7, 25, 41, 57, 69, 81, 82
Carlton - 5 selections - 6, 40, 65, 80, 85
Collingwood - 5 selections - 11, 29, 45, 46, 73
Essendon - 5 selections - 5, 23, 55, 67, 79
Fremantle - 8 selections - 3, 21, 24, 37, 53, 56, 68, 77
Geelong - 4 selections - 15, 33, 39, 49
Hawthorn - 5 selections - 16, 34, 50, 63, 75
Melbourne - 7 selections - 1, 17, 19, 35, 51, 64, 76
North Melbourne - 5 selections - 9, 27, 43, 59, 71
Port Adelaide - 8 selections - 4, 22, 38, 42, 54, 66, 78, 84
Richmond - 4 selections - 8, 26, 58, 70
St Kilda - 6 selections - 13, 47, 48, 62, 74, 83
Sydney - 3 selections - 12, 30, 61
West Coast - 5 selections - 2, 18, 20, 36, 52
W/Bulldogs - 3 selections - 14 (F/S Ayce Cordy), 31, 32

Well if you read the article ...No.. we wont be paying out his contract because A. if another club picks him up the worst scenario would be that we pay the difference in any contract ...which shouldnt be a huge amount ..or B. if A does not happen we will be redrafting him.."Saints have committed to re-list Howard as a rookie if he is not picked up by a rival club in the national draft".
