Why delete Forkems and RRs stoush? I was waiting for RRs reply.

Wrong thread I think Golly. Check Saints Fire sale thread for that doozy.

Re Maric ... Not quick enough in both mind and foot for a quality AFL small forward.

Newton's 4th law: For every supporter angry at an unjust delist there's an equal an opposite mob angry at a puzzling player retention.

Newton? What a hack. He should stop making Laws and start kicking footballs, because his time is running out - if it hasn't already.

Juice has a role to play - if we have Jamar/Martin and Clark/Watts at MFC with Gawn/Fitzpatrick and Cook/Newton at Casey - Fev and Campbell will be gone and Spencer won't be available until mid year. We'll get some injuries in that group.

Im glad there are others out there that feel the same way about Newton. If he survives I want answers. Yes I know he is a rookie but he is still clogging that spot for someone who in the future we could use. We have enough backup ruckman now and we dont need another foward. Seriously who can believe he is still with us after 7 years.

As I said last year. I never thought Id see the day that James McDonald would get shafted from the club before Juice. If Newton survives yet again then I reckon he has other issues that the club are helping him through. If he was around long enough to be a 10 year life member then that would be the biggest joke.

Mark wake up he wont help us. Get a young kid in on the rookie list.

Just playing devil's advocate for a minute... assuming we make no more rookie delistings, we will have three selections in the upcoming rookie draft. I doubt that there have been too many players selected in the fourth round or later of the rookie draft that have gone on to have stellar careers. James McDonald is the only player I know of (taken at the start of rookie fourth round) that has forged a stellar career from this low down in the pecking order. And 2011 is supposed to be a weak draft at the pointy end, let alone the rookie pool.

My point is, that while Juice may not have shown much in his seven years, the reality is we are sacrificing almost nothing by retaining him, especially if the FD see a sliver of value.

Now back to reality, it's probably a moot point as I suspect he will be delisted anyway.

Oh pleeze! I'd take my chances on a 1000:1 longshot in a heart beat rather than prolong the agony any longer. Do you realise 1 more year and Juice is eligible for free agency! Think about it.

Re Juice. Someone said it earlier, perhaps the club has forgotten he's on the list and Juice is keeping very freaking quiet.

Playing as Defence : wont get a game

Midfield : wont get a game

Ruck : Behind Jamar, Martin, Gawn, Clark (maybe spencil)

Forwards : Behind Watts, Jurrah, Clark, Dunn, Bate, Petterd, Green, Martin, Howe

I just have no idea how this bloke is on the list. None.

MFC do not have to fill all the rookie spots. I rather cut him and if no better option is available use the money on another coach rather than pay social security to Newton.

Cue simple plan music and razor blades. Isn't that right, demonblog? :P

Poor Maric! At The Disco :(

Couldn't agree more. 1000:1 shot would be vastly greater odds than Newton's. The guy is the biggest potato in the AFL.
