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.

Surprising they weren't offered as trades or steak knives...

I liked the look of burbury in the games I saw him play

yeh, schroder and burbs looked a lot more promising than our to be delisted players.

Taylor Hunt gone too, but not announced because they want a trade.

yeh, schroder and burbs looked a lot more promising than our to be delisted players.

More promising than a few that remain too

Yes like the burbs too even though I'm a country bloke!

Burberry clashes with all my Demons clothes. No thanks

We got Bizzell for Grgic.

Ha HA.

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

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

Maxwell's knee knocked him into oblivion.

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 !

Fashion changes rapidly WJ.

I find it hard to keep in touch myself.

That one, remember?

Yikes.

George Burbury.

I like George - would have him over Evans any day of the week.

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?

I found some of these to be very suprising.

I thought Burbury seemed quite good, along with Schroder.

Shame we re-signed Terlich so soon, I would have had one of the two above over him.

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.

Maxwell's knee knocked him into oblivion.

Better than Maxwell's silver hammer, I guess ...

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.

Geez. We could pick up a few of them and rookie list the a few of the others.

Burberry clashes with all my Demons clothes. No thanks

But it would look great in the Members' Dining Room.

@paigecardona: George Burbury will find his way to another club. Has had a ton of bad luck, but the upside is enormous. #allheart
