[Roger Mellie 3,604]

Not earth shattering news.

Also confirmed James Harmes on the rookie list for another year.

Hope they get offered a lifeline. Haven't had the best of luck, Strauss especially.

[Demoneyes 562]

Stunned its only the 2 players?? Surely more to come as that only frees up 2 spots in the draft (2 & 3)!

[boydie 653]

Assuming Tapscott doesn't get delisted he better be hoping he gets through pre-season unscathed

[Maggot 1977 263]

Too true Demoneyes !!

Surely Tapscott , and either Evans or McKenzie or preferably both get the chop

[timmy 29]

Um.. Frawley, Clarke and Byrnes say hi!

I thought we would see needed 12 players de-listed..... am surprised as well.....

[Machsy 2,858]

Wait.

Why special mention of Harmes getting another year?

Does that mean Georgiou and Max King have been given the chop..?

[LegsLeoncelli 162]

Um.. Frawley, Clarke and Byrnes say hi!

So do H, Garlett and Frost!

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Um.. Frawley, Clarke and Byrnes say hi!

So do Lumumba, Garlett and Frost who took their place.

[Machsy 2,858]

Expect Blease to pop up with the cats.

Touché :-)

I thought the 2 mentioned, Tappy, Terlich (pay out the contract!), Evans (ditto), Trenners (ditto), Grimes (ditto) and Spenser. That should do it!

and expect him to do bugger all

Good luck to both of them.

So this means we have lost 7 players and gained 3 so far.

So as it stands we will be using pick 2, 3, 40 and 42 (Stretch).

We will be upgrading Jetta with our last draft pick as well and you would think that we will use pick 53 seeing as though it was part of the package that resulted in us losing pick 23 to GWS. Looks like we will be delisting at least 2 more players.

This. Nicholson and Clisby the forgotton deletions.

A sad end to an era of poor drafting & development 08-2012 of so many early picks!

Thank god

BP's resume just got a little longer

Sad but who is surprised?
We are nearly complete with the number of delistings/trades I would have thought appropriate.

Would have been fantastic to see Blease build a tank but unfortunately it never eventuated. Gamebreaker potential that went missing way too often.

Strauss was a high draft pick that I never saw anything in, no standout games/plays/anything. Was only a matter of time I suppose.

Not the Blues?

I never saw much in Strauss. He seemed to lack that competitiveness all players need at this level and his much vaunted 'elite' kicking skills went to water once in the pressure cauldron of the AFL. A good VFL player and probably one that looked great in his younger days but that's the way it goes for many players out there.

Blease, yet another player that showed so much promise in his early games then faded into obscurity.

It's alwaysa little sad to see players delisted regardless of their story. Good luck to them both.

Agree - both boys suffered horrific injuries early in their careers, Bleaser playing kick to kick!
