Crazy delisting Scully ....
Clurey I'd have kept unless he wanted to go somewhere else

I'd delist McEntee and Atkins before Evans and narkle
It's like deciding what would be better out of a Shit Sandwich or Shit on Toast.

In all honesty though i think Atkins is the best of those 4. And he is providing depth in the opposite end of the ground.

As soon as we picked up Richards, keeping in mind SPP is back, it wasn't looking good for out of contract Evans and Narkle.

McEntee already had a contract for next year.
 
Do we still pay Clurey if he's "seeking other opportunities"? Sounds like he's probably been offered to be picked up as a DFA elsewhere.

Opted out indicates otherwise IMO. He must have a contract somewhere. I maintain it's a bit insane how much we wrote him off, he was a pretty good key defender.

Im annoyed at the decision both Scully and Marshall are project players 3-4 years. Late picks like these two need time to develop.

I would be happy if the club delisted them next year if they showed the same progress or went backwards in terms of output.

McEntee very lucky to survive didn't feature in any of our finals

Agree with you re Scully however Marshall just didn’t seem to be very interested in playing for the 2’s.
 
Scully is very stiff. 200cm+ young tall will naturally take a few years to get up to speed. He was tracking just as you’d expect/hope.

Finlayson or T. Marshall will need to spend some of preseason down back. It might be good for Todd- he can punch some forwards in the back of the head instead of being punched himself.

We’ve lost all our TB reserves- K.Marshall, Clurey, McKenzie. I don’t want Lukosius being chopped and changed between CHF and CHB. Walsh has exceeded expectations but I don’t think he is AFL ready yet.
 
Always had a soft spot for Tommy Clurey, so how does a Magpie B & F in 2024 gets shown the door about two weeks after award night?
Will Snelling and Jack Trengove were delisted the years they won the SANFL B n F too. The fact they've won that award normally means that you've spent the whole year in the SANFL, which spells trouble.

So only the one surprise in Clurey.

Sounds like they have a confirmation he will go somewhere else which decreases the salary we have to pay him.

Does position us interestingly for the draft though. Gives us a 5th pick which it felt like we desperately needed given how many delist targets we have for next year. We should be able to take a rookie now, probably Rome Burgoyne. We also near certainly will need another key back at the draft too. I also presume Walsh will go back to defence after playing the last part of the year up forward.
 
At least Hugh Jackson is hanging on.

I was hoping Scully would get another chance as he showed a bit as a second ruck.

Kyle Marshall was always a project but just didn't show enough development I guess. I thought he might get another year.
 
Opted out indicates otherwise IMO. He must have a contract somewhere. I maintain it's a bit insane how much we wrote him off, he was a pretty good key defender.
Yeah I could never understand when we we crying out for that tall defender we never played him, may be something else going on there, who knows.
 
If someone signs Clurey as a DFA, do we still have to pay out his full contract, or would we only pay the difference (if any) between what we owed him and what his new club is offering?
