Cats delist five

Geelong Delist Five Players

"Geelong has announced that Nick Bourke, George Burbury, Jordan Schroder, Jackson Sheringham and Jesse Stringer will not be offered contracts for next season."

I would definitely be giving Schroder a ring, perhaps Burbury also. Strange, as I thought these two would have had at least some trade value.

We got Bizzell for Grgic.

I posted this in another thread being thoughts passed on from an astute Cats supporter mate:


Jesse Stringer - Inside midfielder. Ok pace, question marks on engine size. Has had off field issues.


George Burbury - Good mid sized forward. Nice kick, attacks the ball hard. Would be surprised if the Cats let him go.

Schroder - Inside midfielder, good size. Won Liston Medal so can play. Didn't think he was on the chopping block either and says they are mad if they let him go.

Jackson Sheringham - Another mid that is outside Cats best 22 and really dropped back a few pegs as some of the younger blokes went past him. Goes alright without being a superstar.


Understandably some of the Cats off-cuts are likely to be enticing, Burbury and Shroder in particular...


PS: I think I might have to change one of my favourite players as he is off to Hawthorn, apparently. Reckon I might add Dom T, the cheese and kisses reckons he's ok too and Bernie, great name and fun bloke !

Burbury looked ok a couple of years ago. What happened?

Fashion changes rapidly WJ.

I find it hard to keep in touch myself.

Thanks for the feedback Ginge!

I could happily see Schroder in our side ahead of a few. What's his pace like?

I saw one or two of Sheringham's games late in the season and would steer well clear.

Looked like a poor man's version (in fact destitute) of Horlin-Smith.

Has Burbury got any other tricks? Tank, speed? Or is he a forward option only?

The irony is that possibly two of the cats delisted players would be close to best 22 in a dees side.

Yet the afl seems our list as fine and in no need of a priority pick in rejecting out application.

Or is it that these delistees are made to look better with the quality they have around them and they will suck if they came to the dees.

Something doesn't add up for me. Anyone able to help me out on this one?

I don't know too much about either of them, so neither fill me with too much excitement. However, Roos does have a strong tra k record of bringing players from other clubs who sit just outside their best 22, and making them into a 150 game player.

Maybe McCarthy has gone past Burbury as that small forward role.


Nick Bourke was on their list for 5 minutes.


If I was Roos, I would be straight after Schroder and Stringer, maybe look at Burbury too.

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
