Keep.

He needs to be played as a battering ram midfielder and not plonked in the forward pocket for him to show his worth. The club is devoid of depth so we need a back up extractor anyway. Need to keep him for insurance say if Miles and/or Cotch gets injured or whatever as we all know the team's ability to win the contested ball when it's all up to Cotchin is equivalent to the likelihood of me dating a Victoria's Secret model

I reckon he definitely deserves a decent go next year.
8 games in 3 years - has had 2 strings of 3 consecutive games.
At least Dea has been given a decent crack with 5 cracks at 4 consecutive games in a row or more over his 5 years with 14 games in his 3rd year.

Hopefully, he is given to opportunity to play enough where he doesn't have to worry about being dropped every week he plays a senior game.

Yep, fair call YAB.  Here what you say about Dea and agree that he has been given a better go than the other fringe types.  And we both agree that Arnot and the others should have been given more.  I guess my difference of opinion between them is just a gut feel thing - I see more in Dea than Arnot but hey, if I had much of a clue I would be working for a club in recruiting!!   ;D

its pretty simple
 we currently have 4 free spots on the list proper to fill. if we do just one f/a and one trade it will mean one more has to be cut. the only uncontracted players we have are
arnot, batchelor, dea, elton,petterd and mcdonough.
if i was a betting man id say one definately most likely  two of the above are in trouble but which ones. to be honest it wouldnt bother me if all of em went.sad to say but true petterd whos an ordinary player is easily the best performed of them all.

If he plAyed for a side that was outside of finals he would have played 15 or more games. Another mid draft gem from guru FJ, wouldn't surprise if he seeked ops elsewhere. A ball magnet at vfl and a tackling machine with a deft left foot that doesn't oftsn dissapoint. I'd like to keep him though a r2 pick would tempt  :shh

Big delist 4 me
Showed early in the season he was clearly not up to it and failed to keep his spot accordingly
Very one dimensional player

I'm assuming we're trying to find him a new home. If not it's bye bye.

Like the attitude & desire, just not equipped for AFL footy style of the mid 2010's.

Would have been a hit 20 to 30 years ago.

Time to make a call and move on and by replaced by a player with elite pace.

I think Arnott is pretty much biscuits with out the s... no one will want him so we cant offer him up as trade bait best we do is delist and see whats around in the late picks knowing us we will probably re draft him have him as a rookie...

Meh. Personally I dont think he has enough good attributes to make up for his shortcomings (mainly class and pace). Not really fussed if he gets the chop.
