People saying Trew will get picked up by another club and will be great

In reality he's just another Partington/Adamson

Give it time for a few to Mull it over and they will be Dog gawn triggered by the fact Trew is goneski.

[Bleedblueandgold]

Pretty rough to give them their marching orders a day before the club champion awards. A couple of days wouldn't have hurt.
That being said, I have no issues with us delisting the rest of them and paying out Sheed unless there is interest from other teams.

 

[TY24]

Was in the side because he had the best hands on our list apparently

Don’t you remember that one time he hit a wide open Liam Ryan?

 

[Keys]

The delistings announced today come as no surprise and more should be expected largely depending on our success or otherwise in attracting trade/FA targets

Wish JD all the best. Underrated and overly criticised for much of his career he gets to eke out another year or two at North. Makes sense for all involved

Would prefer 58 to 64 but at that stage of the draft it’s splitting hairs

 

[Carbine Chaos]

I actually think delisting Jordyn Baker is a pretty poor decision. He's been just as consistent as Dewar in the WAFL mess over the last few seasons, and we've seen how well Tyrell has done coming into the seniors.

We are also nearly completely bereft of players who can offer real drive from the backline. I'd have delisted the likes of Witherden and Rotham (who never grew into that role) before Baker, who has some dash about him.

Maybe I'm overreacting because I'm irked by the fact he was never given a single chance at senior level.

Ultimately it goes down as an 'easy' delisting on paper. Reckon he goes on to have a good state career.

 

[WCErevival]

With Darling out the door and Gaff retired that gives us at least 1.5/6 million of cap space to play with now. And that's before the news of the other delistings.

Barrass too. Probably over 2 million dollars in cap space.

Don't think they will get rid of Sheed otherwise it will be too much.

 

[TOA.]

With Darling and Barrass now requesting trades, the club is being ruthless with list management.

Night and day compared to offering an absolutely cooked and imminently retiring Nic Naitanui and Luke Shuey additional years.

Yep, this approach is about 3 years too late.

Decent WAFL player is probably his level

Would like us to keep him on at the Beagles if he’s interested with the carrot of a relisting if he improves

 

[squashface]

Realistically if he wants to improve enough to get another crack at an AFL career he should go to a different WAFL club.

Beagles is a graveyard for development.

We need to delist somebody, and is Baker projecting to be worthy of a best 22 spot for us? probably not

Better to keep the senior bodies who can provide leadership and cover(Witho not Rotham) than another teenager alongside the kids who we think actually have a future at AFL level.

Not every player on an AFL list gets a debut, thats not how it works

 

[donpyke92]

Feel sorry for any player delisted, but that's the industry.
Fairly certain the club gives some support in post AFL life.
Sumich has been interesting around Zane Trew, after saying 'he can sook it up a little after getting feedback'..paraphrasing.
Unsure if Suma has said his real position is defensive mid, though.

put that to bed.
Hopefully, for Trew, he gets picked up again AFL...don't really see it.
Saving that, hope he tears it up for Swan Districts, gets a Sandover & helps keep Peel out of another WAFL GF.

I'm aware of that, it isn't puppydogs and rainbows. But I definitely feel Baker deserved a debut more than most given what he and Dewar endured during 2023 especially.

The cover argument is more than fair, I just feel as though I'd take a punt on a Baker rather than retain somebody who has proven to be below AFL standard.

 

[Keys]

Beagles is a graveyard for development.

Probably, but we need to build our WAFL depth which means recruiting/retaining as many players with WAFL ability as possible

Yeah not much of a carrot, that.

I am with you in regards to Baker. I like him as a player, just needed another year in the gym, but has dash and skills.
I am disappointed in his delisting too.

 

[Godfather32]

My feelings on Zane Trew

Can't remember if I asked this before but was he one of the campaigners who was a complete arseh*le to you when you were a runner for your daughters team?

 

[Mulldogg]

Still haven’t quite hit the 10 changes Simmo predicted. But assume LEdwards will be medically retired.

Trew the stiffest of the three announced today but not unexpected after barely surviving last season.

Witherden and Rotham seemingly lucky (so far) but the latter reportedly has some interest as a UFA (surprisingly).

Jamieson a chance to get the Zac Langdon

treatment? Sheed also doesn’t add much to the list for next season for mine. If his foot doesn’t come up for preseason I’d like him paid out too so we have a spot for the SSP period before the start of next year.

My feelings on Zane Trew

 

[Schtinker]

Why isn't Darling listed as a Free Agent?

 

[Keys]

Why isn't Darling listed as a Free Agent?

Because he still has a year of his contract to run

 

[squashface]

Why isn't Darling listed as a Free Agent?

Contracted

 

[eaglevision]

My feelings on Zane Trew

Had Noah Long not done his knee the retention of Zane Trew would have meant we missed out on Hutch in the MSD. It was a stupid decision then and it is still a stupid decision now.

In saying that thanks Zane, I did enjoy your breakout game and that time you punched your soon to be coach’s son in the guts.

All the best for the future.

 

[bradz]

Not happy with Trew going. Actually has the right attributes and toughness. Not enough opportunity.

Only reason I see to delist is because we will try to trade out Rotham for a pathetic type draft pick and perhaps redrafting Trew.
