2012 Post Season - Retirements and delistings (list changes) thread

[Mr39]

Only one I feel disappointed to lose is Surj, perhaps he has injury concerns.
But yeah, Logan and Pfeiff still on the list over Surjan? Strange.
This is already a big clean out of our list. Times are changing.

You've gotta be shitting me.

Banner, Phillips, Rodan, Surjan, Chaplin, Pearce, Jacobs and McCarthy.
8 players + 3 rookies.

With only Monfries in.

Yikes.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

And we're chasing Gilham and are keeping Hitchcock and Logan.

**** me.

 

[Ported]

I guess if we're not going to play them, might as well delist. Just sad as Surj has it in him to be a great contributor. Hopefully a club picks him up and makes us look like asshats.

 

[bomberclifford]

How is this being blamed on Rohde? It clearly states that these cuts were made after consultation with Hinkley and Richardson.

 

[The Playbook]

Why would they get rid of Surj, of anyone on our list he consistently does his role well and our only replacement is Logan? Dont think anyone can defend Rohde and Cripps now, two huge failures with too much power.

 

[Spadge]

Surjan & Banner delisted... ****ing hell

this is bad bad bad

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

**** you Rohde. **** you Port Adelaide. Sick of trying to keep positive when you're a pack of chimps pulling names out of hats.

 

[SwampRat]

dafuq? Surj gone? Why?

Why would you flat out delist someone who has trade currency? Let alone makes your team stronger.

 

[Portia]

And Ebert, right?

 

[Chrizzt]

Absolutely do not get the Surj call. Still has 3 or 4 years left in him, had a shit year last year but recovered well for this year. Significantly better than Logan also. Maybe this is a prelude to a permanent move of Cas as a small defender.

 

[xamol]

Rodan, Banner and Surjan????

Harsh. I rate Rodan and Surjan highly. Hope they get another crack.

I think there has been talk of his knee being a concern hasn't there ? But yeah, he's the only one keepable.

Becoz Peter Road is responsible for everything wrong with da club. Bring back Choco and Rodin!

Not sure you can argue with any of that. Time for the next generation. Surj is unlucky but if he had got himself on the park he would still be playing.

The class of 2007 is getting smaller by the day.

 

[Portia]

While I'm not placing it all on Rohde, Hinkley already said in his message to members that he's hands off and wants to let people be experts at what they do, and that he'll leave things like this up to the people that manage such things.

 

[Portia]

So does this mean our oldest 3 players are Kane, Dom and Brett?

 

[Spadge]

Speechless that Surj gets the flick yet Logan stays

Unfortunately not surprised that Banner copped the banzhammer especially with how he was treated late last year

 

[Adz2332]

I must admit im seriously pissed....

Hitchy, Logan on the list still and surj and banner go??

Leat i can have a sigh of relief for Newton!

 

[Moses01]

facebook's gonna be a goldmine when they find out D-Rod is gawn

 

[PJ Power]

But Logan and Thomas stay.

So far the plodders have it over those with pace.

The judgement that Surjan, at 27, is of less value to our future than Thomas or Logan puts an exlamation mark on Rohde and Cripps' incompetence.

 

[questionable]

regardless of the decision to get rid of him, surely there are clubs who would be willing to sign surj as a free agent. so by delisting him now we are just ensuring we get no compensation, right?

another peter rohde masterstroke.

 

[Portia]

Hmm, so Hitchy is staying?

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Times are not changing.

If we delisted a few other spuds like Logan and Hitchcock, then though I think it would be the incorrect decision (on Surjan), I would still understand it.

But we just got rid of what is easily our best back pocket player and one of the best shutdown defenders in the competition (and he is a club first player to boot), and have decided that other spuds who have done nothing but play shit football are worth keeping on our list.
