If we are planning on giving Weide an extension this inclusion makes sense, if he's still being delisted in 2 weeks I have no idea why we'd play him.

Is Hayes short?Because he’s tall and swans have McDonald and Amarty
No current season stats available
Yes. He's OOC. He received a two year deal from us.Am I wrong in saying Weid still has another year to run on his contract? Could’ve sworn that was the case, but I may have misread. Not that it matters, sounds like we remain nowhere near the salary cap, so no harm done delisting a contracted player (Eg: James Stewart) if that’s the path we go.
Re Weid: I watched several games earlier in the year. He was absolutely dreadful, made Nik Cox look like Glenn Archer.Interested to know how many people who've posted here against Weid's selection watch VFL. I mean, I don't usually, but I trust the opinions of those who do, and a lot of them have been talking about this possibility for weeks.
Likewise, a lot of them have talked about Hayes being stronger earlier in the season but struggling a little recently.
As for Hepp's non-selection, I wonder if it's even remotely possible that he refused a farewell game because he would rather Roberts plays, you know, for our future. Or if he didn't want to be seen as a charity case.
Sometimes I read stuff here and go, huh? Wtf? It causes me to do random shit like post questions about boy bands.
...and MacleanBecause he’s tall and swans have McDonald and Amarty
I like to partake in the cabbage before the game. Then during the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters. Then after the game. Then before bed. Then when I wake up on Saturday.Helps me freak with the painHopefully we get some good Weid for once.
Where'd you see that?Dyson was offered a farewell game.
Dyson said no.
I’m purely speculating, has he taken getting dropped well? Hasn’t played vfl and now knocked back a chance at a farewell. It’s pretty interestingDyson was offered a farewell game.
Dyson said no.
He was in great form at start of year and honestly though the could play on next year at mid point of season but he definitely hit the wall at some point and maybe he just knew the body wasnt up to it anymore. He got to his 250 games and then has been used sparingly since (just the dees and saints games from memory). Maybe there was an agreement that the 250th game would double as a farewell?I’m purely speculating, has he taken getting dropped well? Hasn’t played vfl and now knocked back a chance at a farewell. It’s pretty interesting
In secret hidden placesWhere'd you see that?
I can see it. And even so, if he doesn't then we might get something for him on the trade table.Alright, to those who have watched a little more VFL recently - would you seriously consider giving Weid an extension? If so I get playing him, however I really don't see any universe, even with good VFL form, where we are seriously offering the guy another contract. Which makes playing him rather pointless.
Not based on 2 AFL games we won't. They won't move the dial at all.I can see it. And even so, if he doesn't then we might get something for him on the trade table.

Can't see how it's any different to last week. Or, the weeks before. Has been something to play for, for a while now. Can't see anyone else standing up now, when they've had multiple opportunities to do so against lesser opposition.Tonight will be interesting. Swans will be hot, this game matters for them too.
We know the usual suspects will show up…Merrett, Caldwell, Durham etc…..let’s see who of the others is ready and willing to compete physically and mentally.
Let’s see who can stand up in real game of footy at the pointy end of the season. For me, list management decisions get made on the back of games like this. Or they should be.
True enough.Can't see how it's any different to last week. Or, the weeks before. Has been something to play for, for a while now. Can't see anyone else standing up now, when they've had multiple opportunities to do so against lesser opposition.
Hope I'm wrong and the penny has dropped. I live in hope.
