Voss delists 12

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

I'd be interested in McDonald, and I remember I used to rate Harding a few years ago. He kind of dropped off, but played 15 games this year and is a good age.

[torpedo 33]

Wow.

You'd have to have a close look at several of them, especially McDonald, Harding & Hooper.

Unless we firm on one prior you'd assume most of them will nominate for the ND though.

[Guest delicious jurrah coffee]

didnt hooper get fined 40,000 dollars in the preseason?

[Maric Legend 0]

A big NO to Hooper, stay away from that guy.

[flog 20]

Luke ball deal falls over then macdonald could be an option, the rest are rubbish

I completely agree! First choice - Ball, second choice - McDonald!

[The Lobster Effect 896]

ok assuming we can't get ball for some reason, who's a better option - mcdonald or jesse smith?

[Nasher 33,617]

Considering how many of those were rookies who hadn't played a game, the article is a bit sensationalistic IMO.

I'm still very interested in MacDonald. Not interested in Hooper -- hot and cold and unable to keep focused; nor Harding who just isn't good enough.

[Salems Lot 2,682]

OX on SEN suggested that McDonald does not fit into our structure. Reckons the back 4 are pretty well in place

scott harding delisted? I thought he was an above avg player

If ball falls through, they have my blessing to pick this bloke up

Useless trivia fact of the day - scott harding's sister is going out with karmichael hunt

I dont agree with that assement

I have always favoured having good utilty players within the team structure

McDonald is a Utility player who plays the majority of his football in defence

If a Utilty does not fit our structure then why would we be grooming Stef Martin into that exact role

IMO McDonald is the best pick out of the Lions delists and just might be the #1 pick overall

I am expecting a few more delists to come yet

I really really like McDonald.

He is EXACTLY what is missing from our backline. A rebounding defender, who can give drive off half back, but also has a natural and strong defensive part to their game.

Our tall backs are set... with Grimes moving into the midfield, Buckley being delisted and Strauss eventually being a midfielder, we need a half back flanker.

Our only options at the moment are pretty crappy in Cheney, Bell and Bartram.

Defence 2010:

McDonald Warnock Frawley

Garland Rivers Bennel

[WonnaJurah 5]

How did Proud survive the axe, must have another year on contract

[Jurrah Coffee 0]

Don't get Harding, he's similar to S.Buckley, except not as good.

[Adzman 2,154]

12 players axed? And i though we were rebuilding out list.....

MacDonald will get picked up, not sure if he will make it to our list. Given the lack of supposed depth of this ND, many will nominate giving them a better chance at getting picked up.

If the ball deal doesn't happen, MacDonald could become the prime target to convince to go into the PSD.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

scott harding delisted? I thought he was an above avg player

Yeah. That's kind of the best thing you can say about him though isn't it. In the year he came onto the scene in the pre-season I thought if he's this good at his age, then there's plenty of upside. There's a lot of good players that aren't stars, who are professional enough to fulfill a role on a medium wage. A club's worst 6, some say, are more important than your best six...

But maybe at our stage of development, we're looking for as MANY names on the list that COULD be stars. Not players how we know won't be.

It's one I'd strongly consider. But pass. Ball and McDonald however.

[Rogue 585]

12 players axed? And i though we were rebuilding out list.....

It's a little deceptive - of the 12 gone, almost half were rookies.

[Ryan Dee 140]

Can someone fill me in on why McDonald was let go if he is such a good player? Salary cap?

[WonnaJurah 5]

He is a good defender,played 22 games this year.Its almost like Voss is playing Supercoach

[Demon3 2,541]

From what i hear, the lions let him go because he said he wanted to go home, he was going whether they got a trade for him or not. Nothing else to it, simple as that.

IF you look at that list only mcdonald and bradshaw are important to the team, the rest are fringe players, so its not as big as a change as it looks, hooper does not have the real hunger for league football,so out of 15 players only two are important, in in saying that voss wants to win a flag in the next two seasons,in two years time they will have a real old list.
