Arnot delisted .... but to be redrafted to the rookie list ....... (afl site)

[Judge Roughneck]

does anyone know the rules?

can someone burrown down vlads hole and find them pls

[tiga]

Arnot was the victim of last seasons winning streak. Darrou and Helbig also probably in the same boat.  There was no way the club was going to put games into fringe players whilst it was still mathematically possible that we would make finals.
In some ways from a development perspective we may have been better off had we not reached for finals this year.

Short term goals

Lack of vision and boldness

Problem is that Hardwick perceives it as a risk.

 King, Jackson, Thomas, Newman, Chaplin, Grigg, Pettard cant be developed, no.

Mcgaune... 

imo the clubs leadership in regards to the manager is delusional and selfish

look we all agree to a man i reckon. but what you and a few others steadfastly refuse to acknowledge is the very simple fac,t the older blokes get more games because they show and do more than the kids. you know those total hacks you constantly bag and complain about give the team more than the kids you want played.  it may be a bitter pill to swallow but its the truth.
for sure play the kids in the right circumstances but ffs the kids in the main look bloody awful to date.

im a bit different with arnot i dont see the point in keeping him at all. hes not good enough to keep on the main list yet we rookie him.  looking for what exactly?  some ordinary depth???.

we are one of the few clubs who have done this cut em and put em on the rookie list just to totally delist em a yr later .

[Yeahright]

Probably rate Arnot less than pick 70(ish?) but more than what our last rookie pick would have been

How can you claim this

If the grigg of the world as never dropped?

And the kids get the rough end of the stick regardless of form

I agree with claw.
The kids need to be bashing the door down for a game, they are not.

[Judge Roughneck]

Darrou zero games. -   good form in twos

Chaplin never dropped -  shyte form in ones

[Owl]

Look,

[Diocletian]

Darrou zero games. -   good form in twos

Chaplin never dropped -  shyte form in ones

Darrou was on the rookie list - should've  been elevated when Astbury went down and Miles earlier instead of Thomarse.

Arnot was playing well, was rewarded but played out of position in the FP where he returned figures similar to King ...the biggest joke was the match where they brought him in for Thomarse but then played him as a defensive forward and stuck Petterd - an actual defensive forward - in the middle instead.

Despite also not being played in his best position for most of the year, McDonough did everything right in the twos and not too much wrong in his few senior appearances, both him & Dea deserved games over Newman, who was a liabilty all year. 

Grigg as usual was useless all year but no real direct outside mid replacement putting pressure on except maybe Gordon - and they were both playing by the end. Would've preferred Gordon to Grigg, with Lennon and O'Hanlon alternating between Gordon's role & sub.

Speaking of O'Hanlon - comes on as a sub, has 9 decent touches in a quarter, then gets dropped.

Maybe they weren't all bashing down the door (and I don't even rate a couple of them that highly myself), but they were at least knocking on it and all showed they could at least be serviceable and no worse, if not better, than the same old hacks serving up the same old crap. Hacks that've already reached their ceiling and are no chance of inproving and , if anything, are only going to get worse.
