[EaglesVille]

Idiots. This is how we got into the mess keeping Simpson an extra year.
Carlton, who aren't even a particularly good team, are moving on Kennedy, Jack Martin and Owies who are all AFL quality players, and these noobs are up in arms about delisting - checks notes - Jordan 'Turnover' Jones

Better check notes again
Jermaine is his name

 

[Dark Sharks]

JD's second season was legendary.

For a 191cm undersized KPF to do that, it was something special.

 

[footy_basis]

Finally Zane has been axed. The delay was unnecessarily painful.

 

[FKASC]

JD's second season was legendary.

For a 191cm undersized KPF to do that, it was something special.

Easy to forget how fast he was

Once that went and the elite defensive chasing dropped away he lost his mojo a bit. He really played like a strange hybrid small/tall forward

 

[shooshka]

We need to delist somebody next year with Darling leaving a year early.

I know it is tongue in cheek but keeping players for 1 more year so we can delist them later is terrible for our list.

Next year we have CJ, Sheed, Cripps all off contract and probably not getting new ones. I’m sure there are more.

This years draft is apparently deep in talent, and is no more compromised than usual. Next year is mega compromised.

So take an extra late pick or two this year rather than next year if we have the choice.

For those bemoaning Jack was so close to 300 games, just remember he stood out from football because of the anti vac stance. Otherwise we would have celebrated 300 much earlier

Jack played 21 games that year. His anti-vax stance didn't prevent him from playing but it took him half a season to get going.

His name is Jamaine for ****s sake.

 

[Peptide Pig]

He was also deservedly dropped for 2 games this year. If the club cared that much about getting him to 300 they could’ve given him the Gaff treatment and played him sub etc to limp him over the line.

 

[pantskyle]

Jack played 21 games that year. His anti-vax stance didn't prevent him from playing but it took him half a season to get going.

I was under the impression he wasn't so much anti-vax but simply waiting on one of the other branded vax that was meant to be more natural and better for athletes?

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

Yep, this approach is about 3 years too late.

It’s interesting isn’t it. We may have got a pick in the 20s, 2-3 years ago when people were calling for the likes of Darling to be traded. Other clubs do it, we very rarely do.

Have the likes of Darling and Gaff offered enough leadership and protection to the younger players to have justified not trading him?

Perhaps it’s the negative of being out West? To attract players in the future, we have to show potential suitors we look after our veterans a little more than other clubs may do

 

[Magnum27]

Would have loved JD to get to 300, sometimes things just won't work out how you want it.

His best is long past him, and despite the dipshits saying good riddance and ragged on him during his career, JD was awesome for us in his prime and him going hopefully gives a young fella like Archer Reid some game time.

Like everyone else this type of decision making should have started at least two years ago, and if Ryan wants out, then let him go, will give Dewar a better run at it, with Ryan gone, Ryan is a part time footballer in games now, we don't need that crap in our team if we want to move forward.

 

[MerryHell]

I was under the impression he wasn't so much anti-vax but simply waiting on one of the other branded vax that was meant to be more natural and better for athletes?

I heard Jack went into a restuarant and ate all the food in the restuarant and they had to close the restuarant.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Like most 300 gamers you need to forget his last ~50 odd games.

Favourite non-final memory was when he tore the tigers apart early in 2018.

Absolute legend, and the JK + Darling combo was awesome to watch.

 

[Ghossein]

Darling has always been one of our more underrated players

Bloke played 298 games and kicked 515 goals, that's hall of fame stuff

 

[Godfather32]

Think he was waiting on the non-MRNA one, Novavax

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Darling has always been one of our more underrated players

Completely missed the fact Darling edged ahead of Suma for goals kicked.

2nd for games played and 2nd for goals kicked. All-Australian and Premiership player.

Club legend.

 

[pantskyle]

Something like that.

 

[Peptide Pig]

If we bring Oliver in that might be the straw that breaks the camels back for me. He is the last thing this club needs.

Unfit, off the rails, and lazy.

Being in the Perth footy fishbowl will do him no favours either. He’s a Jesse Hogan type, needs to restart his career at an out of market team where he doesn’t get recognised everywhere he goes and doesn’t end up on the back page every time he breathes.

Three way trade

Swans get Clayton Oliver
Eagles get Chad Warner
Demons get Bailey Williams and Jack Darling (after we trade him back in for Jack Darling)

 

[Godfather32]

The Swans are not trading Chad Warner for Clayton Oliver FFS
And we're not getting Warner for a broken down Darling and whatever the hell Williams is meant to be

.
So far this year i have heard we should delist Darling, Sheed, Jamieson a year before their contract runs out.
Clubs have to make 3 list changes per year. So you sometimes need to offer a player a year contract to be the sacrificial lamb the following year. I also doubt we delist players unless we have viable replacements either good picks or trades. I expect If Rotham being a UFA is picked up by another club than Witherden may survive depending on how many spots we need to use in the draft.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Need to add a minimum of 2 midfielders to our playing list, hopefully 3.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Something like that.

Nothing beats his doctor being a random ovaries specialist from Tasmania or whatever it was though.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Yeah it’s a bit tiring.

Fair enough we haven’t got a coach so he’s hesitant on nominating us - but then just pick Freo then?

Maybe we don't want to commit to Baker before the new coach has his say ?

What if the new coach says I don't want that midget hack and we have committed for 5 years !

 

[mattyc75]

That was a weird time. Glad he took a stance.
