Not just Paton. At that point, all of Clark, Coffield, Paton and Long were seen as ahead of him in the pecking order plus Webster was still contracted.Ratts didn't rate him and left him out. Came on in the semi against Richmond and was named in our bests. We delisted him to get games into Paton. Right now he's starting to look like a downgrade and probably delisted too once his contract ends.
That was a great trade. McEvoy for a GOP Savage and Luke Dunstan. Then 24 and 59 for 18 which we blew on Acres. Turned our future captain and 2 first round picks into dust. Pelican was a great operator.
Maybe Hindsight says he could have stayed but the injuries to the younger players we had ahead of him meant Sinclair was moved to half back that preseason so overall, delisting Savage didn’t really impact us.
