Nah nah. Ross was crying his eyes out at the best and fairest about letting some of these blokes go. The full on rebuild and delist of deboer, mzungu, Pearce, silvagni etc was forced on Ross. If there's one thing Ross loved it was a soldier like Deboer.

Mzungu was everyone's favourite wasn't heI was cutting onions when mzungu and clancee left. Wasn't crying but
glad he's still around
Yep i would rather go to Newcastle then Canberra.
Been to the war memorial and parliament house at school camp not much else to see down there.
Plus I have cousins who live up in Newcastle and the weather is nicer up north.
Embrace our history and past players will make the club stronger moving forward.
Matt de boer was in our 1st GF team, leadership group for multiple years and a great honest citizen who wouldn't put a thing wrong whatever role you give him at the club.
That's where I'm at, it's pretty good up here. My money is on the 3rd NSW team being based in Newcastle in 10-15 years.
AFL is doing well at the grass roots.
I saw your profile that's why I asked about the long drive
.I am busy next Saturday so can't go down to Canberra. Would have been better being the Sunday 1:10pm game.
Well.Newcastle need a successful sporting team because sure as shit the soccer and especially the knights have both been garbage for a decade.
Not sure though the AFL would expand there though it's a hard core rugby league town.
I reckon they would push there kids into the academies for swans and Giants like Isaac heeney.
And GWS are barely getting a mention in Western Sydney atm now they are struggling. Would take a risk for a 3rd NSW team.
Pershps, but good people are good people no matter where they’re from
He's also been away at another club for like 5 years.

WAFL form for a 26 year old shouldn’t have a massive bearing on list management decisions. Younger players yea sure they’re still developing.
12 games is a pretty decent amount of games for an AFL listed player. There’s a reason he played so many games there. He wasn’t in our long term plans for 18 months before he was delisted. Was on the fringe in 2015 as well.
Each and every AFL club would delist a 26 year old that plays so few AFL games, without injuries having an impact. Ruckmen would be the exception.
The logic to delist him given what actually transpired cannot be argued with IMO. Saying he should’ve played more AFL games in 2016 probably has some merit though.
Anyway all the above doesn’t change the fact he got another six years out of himself at GWS. Good career for a guy without as much talent as most players that get drafted.

Classy of GWS to include equal parts Freo in their retirement tribute to MdB.
Gotta admire pic 3 for all the reasons.

First retiring player I've ever seen use compound interest in advising young players how to invest in their playing careers!

Not sure MDB is AFL CEO material given all the previous incumbents are either graduates of elite establishment private schools or massive driven sociopaths from the wrong side of the tracks..

Reading that Brad Hill wants to be traded again....
The gift that keeps on giving. Bloke is a mercenary who is all about the $ now. Shame, really could have built a legacy at Freo.
