Not having Ben Kane is an outrage....

Yeah, both Scott and Kane will be among the delisted grouping for sure.

Holland
Beaumont
Dixon
Ball
Ladson
Greene
Scott
Kane

Hopefully Lekkas can be talked into continuing, or Ladson may get a reprieve.
I'm no huge wrap for Barker, but with our KPP stocks raw and lean, I'd give him another year. Both Barker & Lekkas are popular and experienced players around the club and could be useful in helping to bring younger players on.

I'd actually send Ries on a long walk down a short road before several of these guys, but its not worth paying out his contract.

Why is Ben Dixon not at 100%? :mad: :mad:
10 years people.

Worst player in the team list. Being played to ensure Hawthorn gets a priority pick in the national draft. In fact, the worst player I have seen in a Hawthorn jumper.

What makes it even more galling is that I reckon he's on 300-350K a season. :mad:
 
danny jacobs!! twice as bad as dixon. worst player i have ever seen, i'd also have dixon over vandenburg (had vandenburg not instigated that brawl last year he would've been out the door & now his captain :confused:

Is this possible within the realms of physics?

While we're on Dixon - is he eligible for the veterans list?
would it matter? crawford and everitt would be earning more so they'd be the two put on it?

but off the top of my head i don't think he's old enough just yet

We can't put Everitt on it because he hasn't been with us for ten years.

Given that Dixon was taken in the 1994 draft, he should be eligible for the veteran's list this year.

oh sure i always thought it was just age? is it just 10 years you have to be on the list or do you still need to be over 30 or what ever the age is?

Actually, that's a good point.

I know you have to have spent ten years at the club to be on the list, but it ispossible that you also have to be at least 30 years of age, which would rule out Dixon.

well has john barker been at the club 10 years?? because he'd just about be the age and that might be a good reason to keep him next year if we could have him on the veterans list?

Nah mate, the old Frere Jacques didn't join up with us until 1998.

I'd keep him on anyway.

Not because I think he's anything great, because he clearly is not, but he is a KPP and he does have experience and a good rep around the club.

We may be in some danger of getting too unbalanced with experience and inexperience at the club. As such I'd like to keep Barker & Lekkas on if possible.

Both could be cut at the end of next season; Smith & Vandenburg the year after; then Crawford & Everitt could retire at the end of 2008 (all going well).

I only ask because it would hurt less knowing he's only getting paid $125k to drop sitters and run backwards.

Well, he'd still be getting paid the $250k, its just that only half of it would be getting recognised under the cap.

Not a good enough reason to keep him on in my view. If Barker or Lekkas say they don't want to continue then I may give him another season.

That's just what the club needs given it's going to be announcing a $million+ loss. You could use it in your membership promotions for next season - despite winning just six of our last thirty-six games, the most lazy, self-indulgent and gutless footballer on our list over the last four years is going to be lining up next season.

The good part is that only half his salary needs to be disclosed in the salary cap. I wonder how many memberships will need to be sold to service the salary of this useless prick. The club would be better off with any of the following alternatives: putting Jason Cloke on our list, promoting Kirkby from the rookie list, or exercising the 151st pick in the national draft.
