Delist/Retire.

Sartorius · Post by **Sartorius** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 11:43 am

Ok, so this year we will probably wont 5 places in the draft, and 1 in the preseason.

That gives us 6 player positions that need to be vacated. So who are they?

For mine:
Rioli (retired)
Rama (retire)
Reynolds
Cartledge
Hennemen
Bolton

Cant argue with that Gossy.

I would keep bolton. The very existence of this board and dozens like it depend on him remaining a bomber.

I reckon Bolts will be used in a trade. He is not completely useless, and hes done a couple of good things. Hes inconsistent but if i were at say Cartlon or something, then i would prefer Bolts over Bannister or some other player.

Sartorius · Post by **Sartorius** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 12:04 pm

But would you prefer Bolts over a later draft pick, which they will get if they delist someone like bannister

Add Heffernan and probably Cole to that list

Have never rated Heffernan and his calibre as a footballer is under serious question.
Cole - you could toss a coin for. True, he's been injured a lot and has made a reasonable contribution over the last 3 weeks but some of the play he participated in last night wasn't very pleasing at all.

Having said that, you could put half the team on that list!

I agree with Gossy but would also add Welsh to that list if we needed more spots. I know the guy tries hard and is not the worst on our list by far but I think he makes too many mistakes with short kicks and going across ground . We need someone who has the pace and can kick long to clear the ball from the back half. IMO.

Rioli

How can anyone seriously be calling for Cole's head. For a start, the guy has been injured, under done all year. Wouldnt he be at least a better prospect for 1 year than a player who we have seen at the ir full potential and has failed?

Rioli (retired)
Rama (retired)
Reynolds (delisted)
Hennemen (delisted)
Bolton (delisted)
Solomon (traded)
or Welsh (traded)

Totally agree Windy

I see Rioli and Rama retired and would delist:
Henneman
Reynolds
&
Bolton

Keep the rest unless a great trade deal hits the table...there's been enough turnover the last few years and we don't need to slash and burn again this year.

We need to develop the existing list .

Having only 5 leave, means that if we want to be in the pre season draft, we finish in the National draft after our 3rd round (which will be 34), which is a little too early for this super deep draft imo. Unless ofcourse we trade two players for one etc.

nomolos · Post by **nomolos** » Sat Sep 02, 2006 11:45 pm

Solomon and Welsh will not be going anywhere. Dont know why anyone thinks they are.

Cole will not be given the flick after 1 year. He did some good things in the last quarter on Friday. Better than NLM(Everyone knows my stance on him im not going to ram it down peoples throats).

Plus as Malky said based on the year, You could place half the team on that list.

cant get rid of heff... he is one of those handy blokes ya need. His one percenters are terrific, great tackler and he did some good hard things on friday night. IMO he will stay

rama_fan · Post by **rama_fan** » Sun Sep 03, 2006 10:40 pm

I think Heffernan will be kept only because we've shafted him once and it really hurt the footy club in terms of personal and character around the footy club.

He is a really respected guy around the club.

Post by **danstar84** » Sun Sep 03, 2006 10:42 pm

Heff has been ok. I think it is worthwhile keeping him. Probably a few other who could go before him. Always handy to have a bit of depth in the middle. He could be handy even off the bench.

rioli * retired
rama * retired
henno cut down by injuries but he has had his chances
reynolds never seems settled at the senior level
bolton=trade i cant fault the guys endevour but just lacks some class
welsh=trade we seem to have an abundance of small backmen and he is still young enough to have some value
soloman= trade might be time for a change of scenery
the only others i see who might attract some strong interest
lovett-murray
mcphee
jason johnson
r dyson
It would have to be a sensational deal to even consider one of these four
though.
i think pev and cartlege might have been saved in the last month time will tell

Ossie · Post by **Ossie** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 10:46 am

Bit harsh calling for Cartledge to be delisted. Thought he went alright the other night.

Rioli (ret)
Rama (ret)
Henneman
Reynolds
Heffernan
Bolton

Solomon (trade - he must be the stupidest footballer going around - how many times does this guy a) give away down-the-ground free kicks for coming in late and b) tackle high. It's not f****** rocket science. TACKLE LOW FOR f***'S SAKE!)

Crazyman · Post by **Crazyman** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 1:15 pm

Personally, I would trade one of bolts or henno, but not get rid of both. Both are utility players that have been used to fill gaps when others are injured (and with our luck, that is nearly every week...) Henno has been injured all year and IMHO Bolts has been much better this year and deserves to stay...

For mine I would have:

Rioli (retired)
Rama (Special Consideration...)
Reynolds (delist)
Heffernan (delist - back to Bendigo son)
One of Bolts or Heff, but probably Heff (trade bait or delist)
Solly (trade bait/sweetener)

That gives us 6 spots to fill...if they also decide to delist one of the rookies that have been around for a couple of years now, that would give us additional space again...
