I know it looks like a mistake made by the GC...but is it? Freeing up salary cap space by losing a 29/30 year old who's not going to be there when GC is challenging for a flag doesn't seem like much of a "mistake" to me. On the other hand, player relationship management is also important and if Greenwood is leaving because of the way he was treated, that doesn't send a positive message to the rest of the list. 

I don't think that's ever happening.

    We de-listed Nev Jetta and redrafted him

    I'm pretty sure that was when he was OOC.  Both Greenwood and Poled (and maybe others this year) were still in contract.

    Delisting should result in payout of contract and take the TPP hit.  It will stop the manipulation of list management.

    Having said that clubs will be very circumspect about delistings after the Greenwood fiasco.

    He is a dud skills wise and decision making. All journos have made him out to be the next Petracca just to sensationalize it. He can tackle and is professional. Surely thats a minimum pre requisite for any 30 year old footballer. Not a big loss.

    Does this now mean that Gold Coast has to delist another player to take part in the draft?

    No.

    They have picks 3, 97 and 115.

    They will have to trade picks back into 2021 draft to get someone decent at say pick 40.

    Unless that have a rookie they can upgrade.

    I know your comment might be tongue-in-cheek, but look at Melbourne circa 2013 and now. Or even 2019 and now. As I've posted before, I think any team that has everything go its way (recruiting, trading, development, list management, injuries, off-field stability) is no more than 4 years away from a Premiership. The question for GC is whether they can get all those matters working together. So far, they haven't. but then, neither has St Kilda for most of its existence or Carlton for the last 20 years or so. There's no reason GC can't get its act together quicker than any other team.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
