List Mgmt. 2023 Staying or Going? - Delistings

[legz11]

He's our only gut runner through the middle. They're molding Taylor but his tongue is hanging out half the time. Scott's a winger. The kids aren't up to it yet.

Taylor either doesn’t have the ticker or the gut running. Been watching him at games stop chasing. Poor.

Turner & Howe are from all reports amongst the hardest trainers and fittest at the club. Can't help but think that perhaps the reason they're being kept on is almost like being on-field coaches at training, given the soft cap restraints. Probably playing mainly VFL & only being break glass in emergency types for senior selection.

Otherwise, a bit puzzling given they're known quantities in terms of on-field ability (i.e.not great)

Of course, could all change in the coming weeks.

I wonder if behind doors the afl said you can keep the 2 rookie spots on the proviso you retain existing experienced players.

 

[Horizons_00]

It’s not to say there arent players that can overcome adversity and still be bloody good footballers, but what EVH, Ahern, Bonar, Perez, Will Walker have all shown is that it can’t be done at North.

Its just too risky imo.

Hmm, not sure the AFL would be that direct, but given the caveats they've put on our assistance, I wouldn't put it past them.

 

[RHLK]

Is there no state footy player who could match Turner's current output yet still have room to improve?

 

[shinboner magic]

Is there no state footy player that Turner's current output is better than

Fixed it for you

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Id wager a lot of money Turner isn't being kept for his on field output.

If he is, shut the joint up now.

 

[Sticksphat]

Maybe it’s time to give Bonar a shot in another position

The Turner role up forward?. Defensive mid size forward with a physical presence? Don't know if I like it or not as it keeps another of our developing forwards out of the side.

 

[The Dingrel]

My bad, Dingo.

Delist ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out.

That’s the spirit!

Struts Wardlaw would be awesome in that role. Imagine if we had another one of him rotating fed/mid…..Reid perhaps??

Yeah from memory both shield and Howe were in the top 5 in their first club time trial. Says it all really

 

[Blightys Barrel]

I guess it’s telling that Perez only has one game that I can really remember that gave me some indication he might be good. Maybe his first one?

Unfortunately he goes down in the group as one of those guys that did their acl at the worst possible time of their development.

rip Perez, EVW, Ahern and co

Sorry dumb question - EVW is?

 

[giantroo]

Sorry dumb question - EVW is?

Ed Vickers-Willis

 

[franjon]

Not sure he gets beaten more than any other of our defenders. In fact in early 22 he was batting above average.

At getting beaten by whoever he play's on?

 

[franjon]

Sorry dumb question - EVW is?

Precisely.

 

[Shinboner1]

hearing mahony is the only one going to survive from the 4 left to sign.
Club just waiting things out in the hope that someone offers a pick instead of straight delisting.
Mahony told by the club to get the surgery, miss the rest of the year and they'd contract him for 2024.
Wait and see what happens.

Why would any club want bonar Howe or Turner? Sounds bs to me

I’m ok with keeping Mahony if we lose the other 3.

We took bonar for cheap from gws. Things happen

 

[tazaa]

Well … Robbie Tarrant might be exhibit A for the defence…. ziebell broke a leg early?

Robbies knees were fine.
Ziebells broken legs caught up with him in the end.
They were also recruited in an era where footballers and not athletes were going in the draft.

My point is more from recent times - it just seems leg and knee injuries seem to be having a much more permanent impact on the players ability to come back to peak fitness.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

So that’s:

Ziebell
Cunnington
Goldstein*
Hall
McKay*
Perez
Young
Spicer
Edwards

Quite conceivable that there is 3-4 others that can be cut with no issues whatsoever.

 

[The acurate one]

I concur

Yep Bonar, Turner & Mahony. Not sure we can have another 12 list changes though.

I'd keep Mahony & Perez if I had my way. 12 months each.

Not a shot at you, but I'm not seeing enough in either to keep persevering with, other than they are young. I can't really see Mahn's being a Caleb Daniels type, and Perez I'm just not sure what he is in terms of a player.
