Wouldn't this just give Rohan more flexibility though? If he is a delisted cree agent he can sign with anyone. Not saying anyone is going to pick him up, but we don't know if there is interest somewhere. If he is pushed to retire and hasn't tested the waters but still wants to play, it may not be the right thing to show to potential suitors.

The only way it makes sense is if Rohan thinks he can play again next year for someone. Otherwise I don't see why he wouldn't just announce it as a retirement.

I think this is exactly what happened. They would have given him the tap on the shoulder but he wanted to play on so they've just made it as easy as possible for him to find a new club

He’s a little greedy then imo. He’s not AFL standard anymore. Just go with grace.

Wait and see until after trade period, if a club picks him up then he's made the right call. If he has no suitors then he probably should have just pulled the pin himself to save face.
If your workplace was giving you the arse because your performance was sub par, however you thought you still had something left to offer/didn't want to give it up just yet and another company came and asked you the question, you'd take it.
AFL is a different world but working is working.

Yeah he’s definitely greedy, a mediocre player who has 13-14 years to set up the rest of his life wanting to maximise his limited earning potential who has children, it’s just, it’s just greed, man, that’s all it is.

Outlandish statement.
Rocky was decent enough, played in a flag against your mob- was one of our best during that period where we were good enough and hopefully made you cry that day.
Harry Cunningham says hold my phone... definitely worse.
but Mark Bayes? Decent player Mark Browning? Lucky he didn't quite make it with 198. Stuey Maxfield was about equal with Rocky imo.

I'm too young to really remember specifics about Anthony Rocca...over 400 goals is what I see. Was he really that bad? Or is it one of those ongoing Bigfooty jokes?

yes,

I've discussed this with numerous people before and in my opinion it would have to be Jarred Crouch (Tivendale can't make the grade with 188 or Nick Davis with 164). Anthony Rock would rank pretty closely behind. Who else do people think of in recent years?

Unless Mitch Duncan retires but seems he is getting one more
The ones to look out for next year pendles, boak, Goldy, Zorko, ward, Tex, Sidebottom, rampe, Howe, fyfe, Breust and Gunston

spoke too soon, alex keath has retired
+ Walters + Jamie Cripps + Maybe Gov? (Will depend if there are enough bicycle repair kits at the the Eagles to do his lungs each week).
2 more rumours at the Eagles that may still pull the pin.
Likely - Luke Edwards may be forced into medical retirement due to concussion issues - no contract for next year.
Watch this space - Dom Sheed and his ankle - contracted for next year but may call time.
