Delistings?
« on: August 29, 2024, 03:00:37 PM »
Apparently end of season/exit interviews ongoing today.

Who do we think will get cut?

Priorities for me are:
Colina
Coulthard
Dow
Cumberland (although I feel he got screwed around plenty)

With 3-4 players already leaving and some talent shown by other cubs I don't think we need to cut more than that.

Don't really see much benefit of keeping KMac at this point but I reckon those you mentioned will be gone. Got a real bad feeling Dow may get another year

If we follow the same path as the last couple of seasons we might be waiting a while

They usually do it after the B&F which isn't until after the GF, 1st October for memory

I think you're right but surely at least 3/4 of those blokes are gone.

KMac will keep going. Need mature bodies. Not saying he's a good player or had a good year but I thought his performance vs GCS was solid.

Reckon a few blokes who otherwise shouldn't will be saved due to all the trades & retirements and the fact we'll need to delist players next year and the year after that probably as well....especially with all the new draftees...think the minimum contract is three years now for first rounders at least and we could be bringing in up to half a dozen of them.... :shh

They seem to rate Dow internally so I don’t think he’ll get the chop .

Id like to see Cumberland given a chance to play deep forward and at the feet of our deepest tall. He’s shown he has hit the scoreboard but gets lost further up field and outside our F50. We struggle for scoring power so might get the best version of him.

Think he got lost when they told him to guard space and play as a defensive forward instead of hitting up at the footy and playing his natural game. I still think he can play at the level but I reckon it's over for him at Tigerland. Can't think of a player having his head stuffed with as much as the poor kid

Lost all confidence , just lost his way after the Hardwick obsession with run down defensive forwards , his game plan worked but destroyed small forwards , particularly Cumberland

I am unsure about Coultard, he has speed and I think he may be ok, still pretty young I think?!

Pace is all he has - he's a lazy spud.....Yassine would be an upgrade, though I'd go Garner & El Nour first for rookie spots... :shh
