  and Jordyn Baker delisted

Coby is disappointing. Does that mean we still need 1 more to go to take an extra pick at the draft?

 

[BartBart]

DGB Delisted... Give him a crack

Sent from my SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

At least we didn't trade pick(s) for him (or be part of Barrass trade) - even though everyonr could see the delisting coming.

I bet Hawthorn offered him a number of times.

 

[Convocation]

Probably its own thread, but what positional changes if any would you like to see Mini bring into the team e.g. Brockman playing the Rioli (Richmond & now Gold Coast) / Jetta role off half back with his combo of speed, vision and disposal?

 

[omgfridge]

How do Rotham and Luke Edwards survive over that lot??? We are making some bizarre decisions.

 

[Goldfish]

Disappointed with that... Would have preferred Witho over Rotham and felt like Culley needed some more time after his ACL. Kicks 5 goals and get Rising Star nomination, does his knee the next week and now delisted.

Burgiel is a tough one, the kid just can't get on the park with his hamstrings.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Could still go. First list lodgement due 31st October.

 

[Keys]

Burgiel has been plagued by injuries since being selected with pick 29 in the 2022 national draft and did not play a senior game.

The 20-year-old will be considered for a spot as a train-on player over pre-season.

Regardless of whether it’s Burgiel or someone else, we obviously intend to leave one list spot open post draft for a SSP signing

 

[Spod]

Re: Edwards wonder if they have had a decision from the medical panel yet. From his perspective it's probably financially beneficial to be medically retired rather than delisted so we could just be doing the right thing by him and waiting.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

I hope we draft Bo Allen, he has a facial profile similar to Dennis Cometi, except their noses are smashed in opposite directions.
Being generously proportioned in the proboscis department myself. I appreciate the courage it takes to put your nose over the ball.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Brutal call on Culley considering he's only just getting his crap back together coming off an ACL. And Burgiel being a pick 29 flushed down the toilet, who knows if he'll make his way back on the list if they've pegged him to be a pre-season train-on player.

 

[Goroyals22]

Culley needs plenty of time…. Unfortunately it’s because he was so slow to catch anyone… the preason game in 23 against port when boak burnt him off was enough to say he wouldn’t make it .

They are probably still waiting on medical advice on Edwards but Rotham can definitely get in the bin… find a DFA outside of DGB and it would be an upgrade

There’s been questions marks on Burgiels attitude so I wonder if this is the club putting it back on him & saying if he really want it you need to earn it.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Isn't Luke Edwards in a pretty bad way concussion-wise still?

 

[kerrazy]

Blind Freddy could see that Cullley was not going to make it. But him being delisted ahead of Edwards and Rotham is definitely a surprise.

 

[new breed]

Going for pace , Jai Culley can still play AFL maybe GC seen him play some good footy but injury was very unlucky .
Hope he finds a Club or stays in the the WAFL somehow .

Pretty tough the AFL .

 

[Forward Press]

More versatility and depth especially with TB leaving too.

Burgiel - permanently on the injury list
Witherden - self explanatory, isn't really AFL level any more
Culley - already limited player, his knee injury didn't do any favours in terms of pace and agility either

Yes yes, Ledwards and Rotham may not really be AFL level either but both have shown more glimpses than Burgiel and Culley.

 

[WCEswift]

Another look at Bo Allan

2 minutes in and he hasnt hit a target he aimed for by foot

? Train as a defender? provides another tall option down back plus could always swing fwd if we run out of talls? 197cm and can read the footy well.

 

[ghostbat12]

How do Rotham and Luke Edwards survive over that lot??? We are making some bizarre decisions.

One is slow. One gets injured a lot and other is well witherden (enough said). It ain’t that bizarre.

Rotham is at least same as witherden and edwards….wonder if it has to do with concussion (don’t delisted the concussed guy).

 

[Mop]

I was sure Burgiel was going to be a winner. If not for injury, he may well have been.

Fly high , sweet prince

 

[KERRPOW]

Had a bit of a soft spot for culley do im dissapointed for him that he's been cut.

hopefully he can get picked up as a DFA by another club.

 

[Ghossein]

Culley made his way back into the team but lets be honest, he didn't really show a lot. Struggled when he played in the middle and didn't have much of an impact when played up forward.

Burgiel didn't do anything other than kick 7 goals each week

 

[Astro7]

Here is an updated end of 2025 age by position chart. I have made some assumptions that L Edwards and Rotham are delisted and we will need another to go to take 5 picks and the contenders in danger are Culley, Burgiel and Witherden.

View attachment 2146695

Our glaring weakness is that only 24% of our list is in their prime years of 23 to 27. We are OL at the 28 and 29 mark but apart from Ryan, the other 5 are solid role players

Could just about exclude Sheed, on his last legs, which leaves only 2 midfielders between age 21 - 31...ouch!

 

[Lia]

Rotham has been on the list 8 years. Not up to it.

Witherden has played a lot more quality footy than he ever has.

 

[Wooshaaaa]

****in rotham for another season..**** me dead
