News Farewell Scully, KMarshall, Narkle, FEvans, Clurey

[Portmagpies36]

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.

100%, a lot of the time he was playing on a much bigger key forward.

 

[Us against the rest]

Narkle and Evans in the end were first 23 for us in the prelims, kind of feels like a scapegoat ngl.

Yeah I didn't think of that, so we are either that bad with average players of like you say scape gooats.

Ken hasn't got the list lol.

Should have delisted Jedstar.
Giving Boak another year is sentimental bs.
Piss weak.

 

[Chachi]

I hope we select Scully in the rookie draft.

Agreed.
I don’t understand that delisting.

Without SPP and a couple of others they got a game, our depth is crap. There is no way another club is picking Evans up.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Scully is the surprise delisting for me.

Try developing in the SANFL at full forward wen you have players from div 2 amateur league delivering the ball.

Yeah it's not good for a developing forward.

 

[Blinky Nyland]

I think Scully would have been retained had we been able to send Soldo somewhere. Unfortunately Scully didn't do enough to convince the list committee to keep him in the end. As to rookie listing him, as some have suggested, I don't like his chances.
With four picks in the top 50 and Rome Burgouyne, Louie Montgomery and Barrett likely to be taken late or in the rookie draft I don't think we'll have enough list space unless we cut some more.

 

[dirty2]

How many rookie spots do we have?

 

[davo999]

Think I would’ve kept Scully myself , liked his basics , marking and kicking and his height. He was a bit stiff in his movements but thought he was worth another year to make sure he wasn’t going to make it .

 

[Us against the rest]

What sets McEntee apart from Narkle and Evans? **** all. I would have kept the other two before him.

A contract.

 

[Dazalinko1988]

Would rather scully have one more year to prove his worth but hey that gave that chance to a 30 year old spud

 

[Portwon]

But at least we have Ratkins....

 

[Macca19]

Its annoying that Evans played the last 11 games and Natkle the last 13. Could have thrown some of them to Lorenz and Jackson really

 

[Jonts]

Is the only "raw tall" developed under Hinkley D Howard

What's the point of you picking them if you're only going to give them one pre season?

Rimjobs

Scully is like 19-20 years old and about 205cm. He's still a kid. Apart from the odd freak bigs take years to develop. Bizarre delisting to cut him after just 2 years, almost like why draft him in the first place? He'd take the odd strong grab in the wasteland that is our SANFL forward line.

Just another shit call from a club that is all about shit calls.

Mac and cheese is worse than narkle and Evans but nah ditch them first. Another of kernys little favourites. Probably likes greyhounds. What a joke.

Was it that many? That's just bizarre... Especially since towards the end of the year they were preferred over shit n cheese.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Definitely feels like a massive vote in confidence in Richards. Part of the reason we had McEntee, Tank and Ol Sparkly on the list was in the hope one could be a serviceable small forward. We must be going all in on Richards to slash like this.

Im not gonna lose sleep on this one, but would much rather have Scully and Narkle on the list than McEntee and Atkins. Honestly would rather Scully than Boak too, but that might be heresy on here.

Would love us to rookie Scully just to give him another year or two. No guarantee we get much more out of Todd and Scully would be a good project behind Lord putting some pressure on.

**** me how often do we do this.

 

[Coobk001]

I thought it was Coobk001 but it was Scully was gone if Hinkley was staying. I might have that the wrong way round.

*Just checked and you're right, 'if Hinkley isn't retained he will be gone.'

Yes, I can confirm that Scully himself personally thought his best chance of remaining was if Ken stayed. He obviously did, but unfortunately for him it didn't matter. He found out on Friday that he was gone.

Scully was told he just doesn't have that competitive mongrel and work ethic they want. They tried to get it out of him, but he didn't exhibit it and they don't believe he will make it based on that. To be honest, looks like he'll just be the next Redden, Mitch Harvey type, that will probably go onto have a good SANFL career but just might not have been up to AFL.

 

[Coobk001]

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.

We must pay him, unless another club picks him up. Even then we have to pay the balance on his contract.

i.e. We probably had Clurey on something like $400k per year, if he is picked up by West Coast at $200k, we must still pay him $200k.

Basically players can't 'double dip', but they must be paid what they were contracted to take.

If he gets a 2 year + contract then that changes things as well.
