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.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
