Players who are GAWN at seasons end.

CowboyFromHell · Jul 15, 2005

Just looking over our list, and thought these players are either GAWN, or very close to being cut at the end of 2005:

Heffernan
Armstrong
Smith
Williams
Rigoni
Carroll

We need to make a few changes to continue the charge to a premiership, and these guys don't figure in any plans. Cut em, maybe trade one or two, and get some more youth on board, or a veteran who is out of contract.

The only way Smith will get another year is because he is a KP player. If he were small, he would have been long GAWN! He won't get another year because ND feels sorry for him. Crap excuse.

Armstrong will be traded back to WA. He's had how many years on our list now? 3? 4? He just doesn't enough. Has talent, but too small. Trade him back to WA, for another player, not a pick. Draft this year doesn't seem all that deep.

Agree with Cowboy's list.

Motlop
Hunter
Godfrey

Can start performing real soon or they can join CFH's mob.

Obviously they aren't all going to get the chop but they're all candidates.

Have we missed anyone?

How in gods name did Hunter miss that list.

The kid has been on the list 3 years for no improvement. In fact he's gotten worse, now starting ON THE BENCH in the Sandy 2's.

I'm on the record as being a fan, but it's now or never for him!

Completely over looked him to be honest. I thought I went through all the numbers!

If he's starting on the bench for the Sandy 2's, then he's a big candidate to be delisted at the end of the season!

Anyone mention Nicholson?

Even with him on the list we have half a Full Back but without him we don't have anyone at all.

If anyone says Bell, Ferguson or Rivers could replace him i'll stop laughing just long enough, to remind you that these kids are still stick figures...

Sylvia Saint · Jul 20, 2005

I reckon Bell, Ferguson or Rivers could replace Nicho to be honest.

The following players are gone:

Heffernan (useless player, but ND loves him so you never know...)
Armstrong (not rated by the coaching staff and wants to go home anyway)
Hunter (bit of a shame, I liked the look of him in 2003. But he has gone backwards since then)
Williams (well you'd hope so)
Carroll (unless he impresses in the next few weeks. Out of contract I think)
Motlop (worth a punt, hasn't paid off)
Rigoni (will probably retire)

Smith will be retained for another year... even though I don't think he'll ever add to his 3 AFL games.

He'd be a very lucky boy if he's retained IMO.

I'm still staggered we picked him up. We would've been better off either replacing Broady (I mean, someone who played in his same position, rather than at the opposite end of the ground, and opposite end of the height chart), or gone for the other option (was it picks in the PSD?)

melbournemartin · Jul 20, 2005

nichos inclusion in the leadership group means ND wont trade him or delist him

i'd give smith 1 more year. he was pick 15 right? n a big boy hopefully he can DO SOMETHING. how much does cameron hunter weigh these days btw?

sabre_ac · Jul 20, 2005

What happend to Armstrong?? I thought the kid had some talent.

BT · Jul 21, 2005

He still does, but IMO he hasn't worked anywhere near hard enough in the past few years.

If he's still around by Pre-season draft time Freo could (& have) done worse.

Our free and open player exchange program with the Dockers (Gilbert, Norrish, White, Chisholm, Farmer etc..) has slowed in the past few years so we'd better flog him to them and keep it alive.

like everyone else in the comp, we need fast skilled midfielders

CowboyFromHell · Jul 21, 2005

Armstrong might actually be a chance to play this week. He had 25 touches or something for Sandy, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's named on an extended bench.

I'd give Motlop one more year. Remember, he started pre-season really late, and while he played one or two games, his body hasn't reacted too well. Give him a full pre-season, and then if he doesn't perform, delist him. But one season on no pre-season is pretty unfair on the guy. He get's another chance.

cannons · Jul 21, 2005

motlop, hunter and smith will all stay.
motlop worth a punt
smith KPP
hunter needs more size and has always been labelled as someone who'll take a while to develop. not playing sandy 2's either.

Must've been a different Melbourne listed Cameron Hunter who played an average game off the bench for the Sandy 2's last week then eh?

Maybe Fremantle would be interested.

Just because a player wants to go home, it doesn't mean clubs in their home state want them. That's also the misconception of Collingwood fans regarding Leon Davis.

Armstrong seems pretty average. What would you expect in return?

Bear in mind, he wouldn't get anywhere near WC's best 22, so don't start talking about Staker or Selwood or any of our young talent. We won't part with much for a player we really don't need.

You'll get a player who can't break into our side or a 4th round pick.

Agreed.

Armstrong will need to pull the digit out to put some trade value into him.

Maybe his aunty can bump up his trade value.
