Don’t know why he hasn’t been given an extended run on the wing

Looked good there vs tigers

should be playing more mins there next year

Shouldn’t be because he can’t run and is a shit influence on the rest of the group with his off field standards and limp wristed attack on ball and man.

Change those and he’d be a top 6 winger in the comp, but leopards and all that …

The leaks never got plugged.

Even the cone of silence has been known to fail occasionally.

Listen to your hearts. If he was put up like Rosas, released from his contract should anyone want him, he wouldn’t get a bite. Too flakey for too long. He’ll be off smoking durries in Bali within a week of the Syd Barker, just wait.

Does he run hard enough both ways? Maybe the end of season review had this in mind.

Over selling it, he had an incredibly poor first half and somewhat made up for it in the last quarter
That doesn't erase the lack of effort when you have to win a contest. And a player of his talent shouldn't be kicking balls out on the full under little pressure. That stuff is contagious and spreads like a disease through this team.
1 year to salvage it with hard work or we move on because he does not have it takes to physically (hasn't changed his conditioning) and mentally to work hard and compete at the level required on game day.

Gawn is also naturally an athletic freak.

I knew Sleevo wasn’t the real deal when I saw him at a nightclub 3-4 years ago.
He was prancing around vaping his head off.

 

[catters_28]

hey, you're going to have to ease up on Xavier; a mate won 2 grand on him kicking the first goal in the 2008 grannie.

the man's a saint

Not sure how when Tom Lonergan kicked the first goal.

Xavier Ellis kicked the third...

Don’t let facts get in the way of a good story

 

[RossHenshaw]

Delist

 

[Mute Point]

Dunno, not too fussed if he stays or goes - he does strike me as a contract year player though, so maybe worth keeping on lol

If he stays & has a year out of the box in 2025 I'd keep him on 1 year contracts from then on.
If another club came sniffing with a 2 or 3 year offer then move him on for a 2nd round pick.

The only club dumb enough to pay a 2nd round pick for him would be us. Jesus christ almighty what would you pay for Petrucelle? Because that’s the best comparison - a middle aged fringe player at a shit side whose best asset is some fringe tier athleticism and has shown repeatedly they can’t win any disputed ball

 

[ferball]

I'm thinking the manager is messaging to potential suitors

There's a particular word that wouldn't be there if that was the case.

2012 when they lost to Swans. A rare win out here attributed to hitting the wrong button on the TAB screen. Thanks Little X.

Youd think that with all the one year deals they've been putting out this week, the retiring rumour is more and more likely to be true.

We're running out of players to delist.

We are really not

unless we somehow have a ton of players wanting to get traded to us

Now I don't know anything about Jaidyn other than what I have seen on field. I do know however that in an organisation when someone doesn't buy in to the culture and best practice of that organisation he/she can become a very negative influence. I don't know for certain that is Jaidyn, maybe he is just very laconic but this year in particular he really hasn't looked interested. He's 25 now, whilst change is always possible I just don't see it happening for him. For the sake of the team I think we would be better parting ways. He's now at the age when he should be showing leadership to our promising youngsters. If he stays on the list and comes back a much better version of himself I would be thrilled for him. But sadly the thing about leopards and spots, is more likely than not, to be true in his case.

Well let me tell you something… we do things a little differently around here. When they don’t buy into the culture and organisation we do things like promote them to captains, or even the leadership group (magoo)

Hope you are at least doing a bit of research into a new avatar just in case.

The retiring rumour is just that a rumour, was refuted by Glenn McFarlane in an article a couple of weeks ago.
