Retirements & Delistings to date

[WonnaJurah 5]

Wouldn't surprise me if Brad Johnson retires, same with Darren Milburn, Tredea (think he has already).

[Daz's Dee's 113]

yep i would be thinking there would be a few more to come yet!

[dee-luded 2,959]

Ottens anyone? I wouldn't be surprised to see at least a couple of Cats go.

[deeflog 679]

Newton? please?

[WonnaJurah 5]

Ottens anyone? I wouldn't be surprised to see at least a couple of Cats go.

Here's my guess (except Adelaide already done)

TJ

Max Bailey (been on injury list for a long time)

Ottens

Jordan MacMahon

Josh Fraser?

Graham Polak

[Trisul 664]

McLaren B)

Graham Polak

Yep.

TJ? How old is TJ?

[WonnaJurah 5]

Yep.

TJ? How old is TJ?

30, like Selwood he is in and out of the side

[dee-luded 2,959]

30, like Selwood he is in and out of the side

Geez, you lose track of time.

[WonnaJurah 5]

i think they beard has aged him more, he looks 36

[sylvinator 96]

There seems to be a new thread on available players, so why not another!

Nathan Djekurra anyone? Leaving Geelong for more opportunities. Pick 25 and 21 years old.

imo, Bailey thinks that forward pressure is critical to our game plan. This can be seen by the fact that Bennel and Wona have continued to be played in the seniors despite some poor form and Bailey has spoken many times about having to keep the forward line balanced. A good crumber is definitely part of the plans.

Wona and Bennel are our two small forwards, and neither are really natural crumbers. I don't think Jetta is much chop and he's more a midfielder anyways.

Could this guy be useful addition?

Wonna is a natural crumber. I can understand that Djerrkura couldn't get in the side when Stokes, Varcoe and Burns are up adn running but he didn't even push for selection when Stokes was suspended at the start of the year. Not sure he is what we require, the small forward roles we have plenty of depth in.

He's not a natural crumber either, pretty sure he was considered a mid when drafted.

McLaren B)

Just to add salt to the wounds, of which there are many IMO, Guess who is officiating in our last gane of the year on Sunday twilight.

This man is OUR NEMISIS

I guess we can expect another great performance from Mclaren!

[jnrmac 20,109]

Yep.

TJ? How old is TJ?

TJ would go to the GC17 for sure. He could still surf and play the pinnies. And grow his Rumpelstiltskin beard.

Would love Djerkurra.... He looked very promising as a midfielder in the under 18's.

Agree - and could be a worthy addition.

No thanks - not in a million years.

At the price of whom on our list?

The Footy dept will have to ask the question in consideration of our list, is he going to be better than the calibre of players we have in the midfield? He is no standout and given we will have possibly four spaces on our list (with one more delisting) and that Spencer and McKenzie are to be elevated then the Footy Department must ask itself is the player worth the 2nd round pick that we would forgo to get him?

I am not sure we will be necessarily adding to our list this year through trades unless its a worthy big forward where we have a gap.

Rhino, tell me we're not going to promote Spencer. I can suffer 1 more year of him on the RL, but not a permanent spot.

[Stigga 25]

I just mentioned this on another thread but I reckon we should go after Shaun McKernan.

And yet Djerrkura has neither retired or been delisted.

He has quit the club in order to find better opportunities and therefore our club could be in the market for him.
