This is who should be delisted

[acuguy]

with the super draft coming up we will want a minimum of 4 draft picks, on top of that we will want to elevate Roe and Stiller definately and maybe Harding, so that is 7 spots, let alone if we wanted access to a pre season draft pick, so theoretically we will need to get rid of around 8 listed players. This does not include M.Pask as he was rookie listed, so here are my outs

B.Scott, C.Keating and J.Ackermanis

so further delistings should be
M.Allan
J.Attard
B.Fixter
J.McDonald
P.Garner

All of these future delisted players will not succeed at AFL level, they are just not good enough. The reality is that we shouldn;t be carrying these blokes.

I also believe the Lions should be scouring the WAFL, SANFL ETC for a ready made player, the bloke i think we should pick up and i know i am going to be caned for it is

D.Cupido, he has all the talent in the world and 1 year away might have fuelled the fire a bit, if he is overweight at the moment that wouldn't deter me, you would just run him all pre season, cupido is an enormously gifted talent and he is better value on the list then
M.Allan
J.Attard
B.Fixter
J.McDonald
P.Garner

No thanks he can keep playing in the SANFL!!!

 

[Lady Lawrence]

Attard is already gone isn't he?

 

[konstas_87]

i believe so LL
Crackers, Forsyth, Attard, Pask

re: cupido, 1 underperforming nobody who "might" come good is enough for our squad thanks, we dont need 2.

 

[BigCat2]

If your figure of 8 senior delistings is correct:

Already gawn:
Jason Akermanis
Jayden Attard
Clark Keating
Brad Scott

Can Harding be rookie-listed again? Is it possible for other clubs to pick him up at the National Draft?

I would like to think otherwise, but I don't think BOTH Voss & Mal will still be with us next year.

Then it just comes to who is most expendable, who is least good.

For everybody who still hasn't been delisted, there's good cases for all of them to stay with us next year. The club will just have to make some hard decisions.

For me, I'd delist/trade a further 3 in Marcus Allan, Joel Macdonald and Ben Fixter. If we lose someone who wants to be traded (eg Moody), then I'd give the reprieve to Fixter.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Joely Mac is contracted for next year.

Out of interest, acuguy, how much have you seen of Pat Garner?

 

[BigCat2]

Thanks TFB, that's a shame, because J Mac would be one of our most expendable right now.

Talentwise Corrie should be fine, but he may be gone if the club are considering his future with his off field stuff.

 

[Chasing the Dream]

Out of interest, acuguy, how much have you seen of Pat Garner?

Good point.

From what I have heard, he is worth a chance to let him show us what he has got.

 

[BigCat2]

I also think we should keep Pat Garner. KPPs take longer to develop, and he's only been with us for 2 years, 1 of which he didn't get to play at all. Unless we've seen something from him that convinces us he's definitely not going to make it at AFL level, it wouldn't be right to delist him now.

 

[sherminator]

Yeah, I reckon we should hold on to Garner. He has a very, veyr strong kick (able to kick goals 60 out). He has really wanted a game so badly that he has worked on adding 11kgs of muscle. So he is very determined young man.

 

[Warwick]

Cupido will never come back to the lions. He had a chance in the AFL and he blew it. I wish i had his talent.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

I wasn't saying necessarily keep him. I haven't seen that much of him either, not enough to make a call either way. That was my point.

Obviously the football department will have a better idea.

 

[Vidman]

Cupido will never come back to the lions. He had a chance in the AFL and he blew it. I wish i had his talent.

He had two chances in the AFL and blew it.

 

[POBT]

I wasn't saying necessarily keep him. I haven't seen that much of him either, not enough to make a call either way. That was my point.

Obviously the football department will have a better idea.

In the pre-season, I was speaking to someone connected with the club who said the football department were very happy with his progress and thought he might have been good for 5 games this year. Obviously that was before the knee blow-out and so it remains to be seen whether that potential is enough for the club to stick by him.

 

[xplo]

so further delistings should be
...
P.Garner

All of these future delisted players will not succeed at AFL level, they are just not good enough. The reality is that we shouldn't be carrying these blokes.

How could you make any sort of call on a kid who played one NAB cup match this year? Prior to that as an 18 year old was the lightest 'weight for height' guy in the AFL (75kg & 194cm).

Admit it. You don't know anything about Garner other than he did an ACL the same day as Hadley.

You might mount an argument that the time is bettter invested elsewhere, but to make a blanket statement ("just not good enough") about the ability of a bloke you haven't seem play is frankly ridiculous.

 

[Ashli]

Latest rumour is that Voss is retiring and getting an assistant coaching role at AIS. I hope not and there is a couple degrees of seperation in where I got this news from so lets keep our fingers crossed. All will be revealed in time.

agreed i was watching the gospel on fox footy ages back and nathan brown called him damien stupido for that same reason

Yup Friday October 6th - if anyone here that is not able to make it to B&F and is happy to give me their mobile number I can send a text message and they can then post it up here when it is announced. Let me know via PM. Spelling may be a bit wonky if I can see through the tears cos I imagine either way I'm gonna be a basket case!!

You reckon he will get it out the way early on, or after the B&F is announced?

 

[Ashli]

I hope it is relatively early! I will die otherwise! I have never been to the dinner before though so I am excited.

i think you need to add Leppa to this list as well.

 

[Scotts_are_champs]

As if they will delist Allen...his dad will make sure of that. Its never what you know but who.

 

[scott522]

reckon announcement will be at end of the night - vossy's not the type to rain on someone else's parade

 

[The Flying Belgian]

I take it you're going S522? Mind shooting me a text and lettin me know what the decision (if you can manage it over tears/beers)?

 

[scott522]

Had every intention of, Belgian

 

[Lady Lawrence]

reckon announcement will be at end of the night - vossy's not the type to rain on someone else's parade

but if he is staying, perhaps he willmakethe announcement at the beginning therefore shiftng focus back to B&F rather than everyone waiting. If he takes the stage early I think there will be cause for celebration!!
