There was a link on afc.com.au a minute ago with a pic of Torney next to it. I clicked on it but it didn't go anywhere. Next thing it was gone. Stay tuned.

Here it is: http://afc.com.au/Season2007/News/NewsArticle/tabid/4417/Default.aspx?newsId=52462
The Adelaide Football Club wishes to advise that it has delisted five players after the completion of trade week.
Jason Torney, Ian Perrie, Matthew Bode, John Hinge and Darren Pfeiffer have today been told they will not be contracted with the Crows for the 2008 season.
Additionally, Adelaide has told rookies Andrew McIntyre and James Turner that they will not be with the club in 2008.
However, the Club has decided to upgrade Greg Gallman from the rookie list to the primary list and will also add its New South Wales scholarship player Taylor Walker to the primary list before the November national draft.
Perrie, 28, leaves Adelaide after playing 116 AFL games and kicking 129 goals in ten seasons. Drafted from East Perth with pick No 49 at the 1997 national draft, Perrie made his AFL debut in 1998.
Crows General Manager – Football Operations John Reid said: “Ian must be congratulated on his long career with the Adelaide Football Club. He has made the most of his talent and been a valuable contributor to our football club over a decade, which is a great credit to him. We thank him for his efforts and wish him all the best.”
Torney, 30, played 118 AFL games for Richmond from 1995-2002 and then 77 games for the Crows. He was originally drafted from South Adelaide. Bode, 28, started his AFL career with Port Adelaide but after playing 29 games for the Power switched to Adelaide before the 2001 season. He played one game in 2007 for a total of 79 with the Crows.
Reid said: “Jason and Matthew have both been great recruits to our football club. Both had injury problems in their time with us but they also were at times able to play some wonderful football for the club. They were also strong members of the team, on and off the field.
“These decisions were difficult to make but we need to provide greater opportunities to young players on our list and it also allows us to add more youngsters to our program.”
Hinge, 21, was upgraded from the rookie list at the end of the 2006 season. He played one AFL game this year but strained a hamstring in this match and did not receive any further opportunities with the Crows.
Pfeiffer, 20, has not played an AFL game in two seasons with Adelaide since he was drafted from Norwood with pick No 17 in the 2005 national draft.
Reid said: “We would also like to thank these young men for their efforts and wish them all the best for their football futures.”
Adelaide has now made nine changes to the 2007 primary list. The other players no longer with the Crows are Mark Ricciuto (retired), Ben Hudson (traded to the Western Bulldogs), Martin Mattner (traded to Sydney) and John Meesen (traded to Melbourne).
With the arrival of Brad Symes (from Port Adelaide), Brad Moran (Kangaroos) and the addition of Gallman and Walker to the senior list, Adelaide will have five picks (TBC 10, 27, 30, 38 and 59) at the AFL national draft in November.

DOB: December 6, 1988
Recruited from: North Adelaide
Taylor Walker

Geez Drummond will be spewing.
Dont know how they can justify dumping him unless the club just had enough with his off field demeanours.
Wouldnt suprise if he was re-drafted.
The delistings of Torney, Perrie and Bode show that you will indeed start going through a mini rebuild next year.

Come on bus, you don't just delist 19/20 year old "gems". It's obviously not just football related.Nothing wrong with the recruiting. This kid is a friggin gem. Absurd!

He's obviously got up someones nose, but to trade a talented 20 year old, while we're rebuilding is ridiculous.

Too Sweet
Torney very unlucky. Thought his form towards the end of the year was great.
I guess we're in the middle of the 'hard decisions' process.

Why Pfeiffer??? He's been an absolute GUN for Norwood, loved watching his game. Such a classy player wasted. Hope he gets picked up by another team and does well for himself.
Very disappointed

But doesn't that indicate how severe the clubs concerns about him must be?

What about Michael Doughty ???? ridiculous I would have kept Torney any day of the week ahead of Doughty. Looks like he is going to have another gold ticket next year.

I just don't get why, if we wanted to punt him, we didn't offer him up for trade. Clearly had value.
Indicates to me they might want to rookie him.
disappointed for Bode, so much potential but just couldnt keep himself fit.
Torney is very unlucky, deserves better.
suprised with Pfieffer, I thought it was going to be his year next year. Not too happy about it to be honest.

Those who are saying that Torney will be picked up again are crazy. The guy is a great player yes, and yes he was very unlucky to be delisted but he's the wrong side of 30 and isnt exactly the type of player clubs are short on.
Surely we can rookie-list Pfeiffer cant we ??
