This is an interesting comment for mine,

“Since the start of the year, the connection between each other (has improved),” Wanganeen said.

“There’s no real AFL or VFL program, it feels like we’re just one team and the last few weeks have shown (that) on the back of that, we’ve got a great bond with each other and we’re a connected team.”

Not sure why there wouldn’t have been a concerted effort by the football department to generate this club-wide team connection between all tiers in the past. Seems weird that there has ever been a delineation created.

I think it is why they moved Leigh Tudor on and put Caracella there . There was obviously some issues that they saw last year .

Thanks Tex - all the best

First statement of the off-season!

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Still only 20 right? Showed some flashes and might get another crack due to his youth, but not a lot improvement in the 3 years he's been in our system so I understand why the club cut their losses. Seems like a good kid though, hope he shines in the VFL and gets a shot elsewhere!

Dodo wouldn’t have made this move

If they were going to delist him, why not give him a game to see how he went a half back. This is what is wrong with the club, yet they continue to play Kelly for no reason

 

[Red Black and Blue]

This one is a mistake. 2 years and he'd be our best half back. Scott seemingly allergic to blokes with agility and footskills. Could see Hawks pick him up.

Is a beautiful kick of the footy

Gotta give Hind some games.

 

[jmoo wan]

he should go to port Adelaide and captain them to a premiership!

 

[windyhill]

Enough time in our system, probably flourish in another’s.

Agree with this. Had a dead rubber on Saturday. Even could have given him the vest.

Part of me thinks so too, but I haven't seen VFL so just a gut feel.

Anyway, thanks Tex. Good luck when Port pick you up.

Not up to it, don’t give games to see what his likes. Players need t earn games, can’t shine in vfl not going to in afl

Been playing pretty decent footy at vfl level. Worth giving him a chance

Senior players dont earn games and dont play VFL.

 

[nipst@r]

A slow quick bloke, another good decision overall as had a few years and chances and hasn't shown enough.

Great he played a few games for the family connection. Well done Tex.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

We all wanted the kid to succeed based on the name but it wasn't to be.

All the best.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Might very well made have made it, but understandable delisting.

 

[ant555]

Was on the cards. He played some okay footy at half back but his the fact that sometimes he would not have found an opponent if he had a bell and a flashing light on him was a problem in that role.
Too bad injury robbed him of his best chance.

 

[SydneyBomber]

Nekminit, a McDonald's franchise and a gig at Port?

 

[BLA60]

List clogger at the end of the day, if he couldnt get a game with our putrid small forward play this year that says it all for me.

 

[JT_the_Man]

All the best Tex.
