No mate. I dunno what's going ion there, but the bloke was shafted.

The bloke finished 9th in the 2019 B&F!!!

There would want to be some eye popping trades in the works.

He's easily the stiffest of the 11 blokes cut today.

You know it's 2020 right?

 

[Portmagpies36]

Surely Jasper Pittard could now audition as the next Tiger King as Joe Exotic is incarcerated and Jasper will now have a lot of spare time.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Pittard will get picked up by another club.

Mason Wood would have to be worth looking at for a few other clubs as well.

Mason Wood yes, Pittard no chance.

 

[backtozero]

There's no way lists get cut and some club is like yep, Jasper is what we need.

 

[Janus]

Is it really that big a clean out? It's 11 players, and they have to lose 5 at a minimum if list sizes reduce to 40.

They are apparently picking up Corr, so that makes it 6. They have two first round draft picks plus a second round pick to use this year, so that takes it up to 9.

They are probably hoping that some of the better clubs are going to shed some good players that they can pick up with the remaining two delistings. If list sizes reduce to 38, they will be right on the button.

I thought Ahern was locked in as Cunnington's successor. First round pick, had 40 touches in a game WC 2 years ago.

 

[DaTBird187]

Wood is ordinary. He might find a new home but I hope its not with us.

Durdin on the cheap might be worth a look as back up but he lacks the intensity to be an AFL player

North'll do that to you.

He needs Monty in his life.

I have heard 38+2.

This leaves us with 5 to fill if Corr is coming & 3 of those have to be draftees.

There has to be more trades in the works.

 

[Hammer#8]

Pttard shouldn't come as a surprise to us, he was steak knives in the Polec trade ultimately, I thought North were overrating him until news broke one hour ago.

 

[mynameissilver]

Lol I hope North pick up Gibbs

Godfather offer on the table as we speak

 

[johnnycjay]

The next time lol Norf contend for a flag we'll be getting around in flying cars

 

[Doctor Feel]

Feel sorry for Jasper. Sad end really.

Last night’s fight by North means the Cows have to get a draw or better to avoid the spoon.

Whilst technically possible to lose narrowly but still improve percentage, even a 201 to 200 loss would see the Cows win the spoon.

Short point- they have to win or draw with Richmond or they have the spoon.

 

[Jonts]

There's a big part of me that wants Pittard back

The hilariously possible scenarios if they win almost trumps them getting the spoon.

West Coast would finish fourth and not get a home final, meaning a pointless flight back to Perth and Richmond would not get the double chance, running the risk of being bundled straight out the finals by Collingwood.

 

[SureBuddy]

Very weird delistings some of them. Surely some had trade value? You telling me you couldn't get anything at all for Wood, Daw, Ahern, Marley Williams and Durdin?

Yes, as REH illustrated previously, it would have needed the Kangas to lose by about 80 points or more for a slender Crows losing margin to allow them to get a better percentage than N0rf, so only a win or a draw will do. I suspect they'll be happy to just have a RHG and feed Ted for as long as it takes for him to get the one goal he needs to pass Modra's record.

Durdin, Williams and Ahern might net them token picks at best. The rest nada.

There is zero trade value there.

List distribution is more skewed these days.
The top 5, maybe 10 are paid through the nose, both monetarily and in trade value, and the bottom 15 are pretty much plug and play and interchangeable from year to year. Their true value is sentimental and in team cohesion, which isn't worth anything to a new club.

To be fair, Ken gave him a million chances.
