Title: Getting rid of contracted duds .
Post by: mat073 on September 19, 2016, 11:45:07 AM
Steven Morris and Todd Elton are never going to make it . Both list cloggers are contracted for next year .

Surely they can't be on big coin .  Pay them out .  Marcon had more upside than these two .

Surely its a no brainer .

Except that their contracts will contribute to the cap - which means that we can't really pick up any other players to fill their spots.

So in actual fact we'd just have 2 less players to choose from. We played 41 listed players last season.

It's a shame Morris was just starting to perform before he did his knee.

ltob will be delisted next year for sure.

Andrew Moore is out of contract so he can still be delisted, think there will be more delisting once trade time starts

Townsend unfortunately was given 2 years (a BH special  ;D)

Hunt has 12 months to go as well and although people don't want to hear or acknowledge it, he last 8 or so weeks were good, showed up some of his more talented team mates IMESHO

Never once walked away from a game thinking he didn't have a "dip" can't say the same about a number of others

And yes "good" based on what his role in the side is, he did his job

Surely we are past this level of acceptance.

I'll have a red hot crack if you want that to be your yardstick. Need quality. Hunt is certainly not that

Isn't it more of indictment on others that Hunt's best which is average has him ending up one of our better players in the 2nd half of the season?

That's not saying we don't need better but what it shows how poor our better players were

Touche. Hunt isn't the guy you get rid of if he is in your best 22. But it's an indictment of our list management.  Thank god FJ has been demoted.

Title: Re: Getting rid of contracted duds .
Post by: tony_montana on September 19, 2016, 07:55:40 PM
Wasnt actually a demotion, he made the decision to stand down from full time duties months ago well before the review was even on the cards, clubs just used it to make it look like they're making changes. But its all happening after the drafts

He'll be a part time consultant bc his views are so highly regarded

I'd probably say more of a poor reflection of the coaching staff. I think we'd all agree we have a lot of underperforming talent on our list. I put the blame for that squarely on the coaching staff.

indubitably

So it's more like "good by Richmond standards"

Nothing to right home to granma about generally

Elton got whacked ( literally) by Cotchin for being an absolute chicken heart during the Sydney game . 5 years in the system .
Marcon looked quite serviceable in his second game - only to be dropped and then dumped.
You could never question the endeavor of little Stevie Morris but we can all see his limitations. Worst player to play 80+ games in recent memory.

Lol They can't even demote the dud recruiter themselves.  Hackson had to do it for them.  He would have still remained if he didn’t step down.

Still need to upgrade him if we ever want to win a flag. You could put everyone on this forum on the field for us. They'll try their guts out but we'll be thrashed. Trying your guts out doesn't matter if you just don't have the talent. Geelong knew they had to upgrade but we are happy to have him.

Tells me why Geelong are playing this weekend and we are on holidays.....

l'm surprised none of you have mentioned Shane Edwards. This guy is a list clogger. Played a handful of good games & just a flash of footy in 2 hours each week. He would be on the very top of my list. A very weak footballer IMO
