They said they would delist him if it meant getting to us.
Clayton made it sound like that was the way it would go

Can't like this enough.
Clayton was taking pick 2 to the draft
Adamant
No ifs or buts
But suddenly today he's happy with our 4 from last year and 2 next year?

It wasnt meant to be disrespectful....I was going for light hearted.
On a positive note, at least we can crack open that '2018 Best 22' thread considering we only have 1 pick + a known commodity in Crossley to bring in basically.
Also, please for the love of god Clayton, best inside mid available at 19, or maybe Balta if he slides there. But watch Crossley can bid on at 18 now

Yes sir. Cancelling a membership over this seems overboard. Will those that cancel return if he turns into a superstar and we head up the ladder in the near future?
Another positive for Weller is when we fold because of our completely useless management and get moved to Tasmania he will be at his original home
I have spent the last hour writing a letter to Mark Evans, I have had to re-write it a couple of times to remove some of the anger. I have asked for an explanation as to why I should renew my membership after nine years of one crap decision after another. I encourage all of you to do the same.

If you are delisted as a contracted player, then the club is still responsible for your contract UNLESS you are drafted by another club.
We delisted Schade last year even though he was under contract. That let us open up 5 list spots for our 5 draftees. Schade was rookied by Collingwood. The Pies were on the hook for a rookie contract plus match payments, we were on the hook for the rest of his deal.
We have delisted Stanley and a couple of others in the past, also while under contract. We then rookie drafted them. This allowed us to get an extra player on the main list while still paying them the full whack on their contract.
So if we pick up A. Swallow in the psd, we will be responsible for his existing contract. I suspect there is a deal in place that North will pay some of his salary, but we will pay most of it.
Makes sense. Suspect this was the plan if we (a) had a list spot for him and (b) had no time to get a deal done.
With our current lack of picks, good chance there is a list spot for him. If there is, then North will delist and we will draft.

I'm not happy about losing pick 2. I feel really dirty.
But what's done is done.
I take confidence knowing who is walking in to the club and that we have the makings to be competitive enough to get lynch resigned.
Next year's draft will be a killer and the clean out should be completed.
Still trust Clayton he clearly was forced to make that trade under duress of the higher ups.
Move on and have hope with a more experienced list next year.

Sooo....... how 'bout that draft, eh?
Pick 2.
Pick 19. - Worpel/Bailey/etc.
Pick 41. - Crossley (pts - pick 50, 54, if needed)
Pick 94 - Spencer upgrade
Honestly, not the worst draft. Depends how many list spots we end up with available. Surely just the 3 for draft as there's not much their in the 50s.

So what picks do we actually have now?
Here is the address if you want to write to Evans the “ old school way”

I can't see the photo through my blinding rage. I'll get to writing when my vision returns.
I’ve emailed the club asking for Evans and Clayton to resign
Hope other members do the same
I’ll be renewing my membership but not with the joy that I normally do it with.
I just wonder about constantly having Melbourne people on the payroll and not Locals.
If Evans and Clayton loved the Gold Coast Like I do would they have caved in???
You need passion as well as smarts in this game.
Employ locals-sacrifice smarts for all out passion.

With Australia Post it's not going to get there for 3 weeks anyway. The anger may subside by then.
