Power delistings

[Power Raid]

Numbers freed up:

19, 21, 24, 31, 33, 43, 45, 46

they will be my lotto numbers this week

 

[PepeSilvia]

He's 26, will be 27 at the start of next season. If he's only managed 87 games in 8 seasons (3 of which we were crap, 2 of which we were a joke), he's either too injury prone to be on our list, or he's not a good enough player to be on our list. We have plenty of hard at it midfielders who are better players in total and who are better at the things that Thomas is 'known' for.

Edit:
Not that I think he's actually particularly injury prone, but my point about him being too injury prone to be on our list was to negate your point of him being "crueled by injury for years".

 

[Power Raid]

Wait what, Hitchcock is still contracted? How the **** did that happen?

with ebert retiring we are lacking a short KPF

 

[Macca19]

Thomas cruelled by injury is nonsense. Hes missed 6 games in the last 4 years because of injury.

Many would consider that a dream run.

The high-concept of Thomas - Crowkilling hardman who racks up contested ball and destroys opponents - is a far cry from the reality.

14-18 sketchy touches just doesn't cut it for an engine room staple in Hinkley's Port Adelaide.

Like what?

Handles the syndicate money.

I've bought a Jonas 42 badge. He is staying 42.

 

[Noobz0r]

no shocks, good call on all. to those defending Blee, he was behind Jonas, O'Shea, Pittard, PStew, Logan, Cassisi, Heath and stevenson as small/medium defenders on depth list. so he was 9th in line of our medium defenders. as far as list balance goes it's no shock he left, him leaving helps us get fast mids and more genuine KPP.

Was being trialed as a tall wingman in the SANFL and had been putting up some ok numbers. I would have kept him on but what do I know!

Neade Moore Wines is the name of my dreamteam

The one that won the Port board wooden spoon, it had better not be an omen!

yeah well you go away to Thailand for 3 weeks during peak cash cow season and dont make any trades, you know you're screwed

we will lift next year

 

[ozzyoslo]

Because out of those 80 odd games, only about 10 of them were any good.

time will tell I guess

 

[PatientMental]

haha....referring to Matt mate....why would Hinkley flick Thomas after one season and he's played 80 odd games.

Hmm, because he has Newton, Young, Boak, Broadbent, Ebert, etc, and some kid called Ollie Wines ahead of him in the pecking (skill/strength/age) order.

 

[Sellyme]

Not particularly fussed by any of the delistings; mildly surprised by Blee, but not disappointed.

 

[RossFC]

Blee was the Mitch Banner of the delistings this year. would have liked to have him for another year. but at the same time I'm not willing to protest over it.

 

[Dobie G]

Some players perform well at SANFL and do not so well at AFL eg Stephen Carter and Nathan Blee.
An unfortunate fact of sporting life.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Don't get the fuss over Blee. He's 23 years old, he's only played 2 games this year (despite Carlile, Trengove and Hombsch all missing a varying amount of games through injury) and he has no particular stand out quality that screams 'I am an AFL footballer'. Successful list management weeds out this type of player and replaces them with somebody that might have a future.

What has Bobby, Tengove and Hombsch being injured have anything to do with Blee?

I think he might be good enough to play AFL, but we don't really have a need for someone who plays his role at this point.

Stephen Carter was a fantastic footballer who preferred life a little more laid back than the AFL.

He was recruited as a KPD.

[Power Penguin]

Happy with every single call made with delistings, I would trade hitchock as well

 

[Powerstufff]

Few surprises. Probably some only still there until contracts run out next year and potentially could go in trade period. Is there anywhere that shows remaining contract lengths for player? We always have to rely on our collective memory of media releases.
If the Thomas/Richmond thing was ever true I would have thought we would have done a courtesy peppercorn trade with them as a thank you to him.

I saw him best as a depth halfback/winger

 

[n4nirvana]

Blee was always going to find it hard

Junior Mid

then 1 season WAFL full back

but undersized/understrength FB for AFL

Intermittent Cameron H. Actually I like that myself but don't like the changing of online IDs that is so much the fashion here in the last year.
