All the best to your future endeavors fellas. Like to endorse the above appreciation for your time and service with the Melbourne Football Club. Cheers!

[JJJ 987]

Hopefully Kyah can use the football training lifestyle to get to professional basketball.

A little surprised by this one. Thought we might have invested some more years with the rookie list changes. I guess sometimes raw isn't just raw.

Must have someone else in mind for the spot. Be interested to follow who.

Good luck KFW.

He was very raw.  Delisting was inevitable.

Never looked likely.  Schache is a relief.

Thanks guys.

I'm noting the article commences, "The club has made the first two changes to its list..."

And no love, in the heading, for Josh, @Demonland?

All taken care of, sort of, over on 'Delistings'...

Kyah is clearly a very good athlete, but is equally clearly not a footballer. We gave him a chance, but it didn't work out. It is the right decision to move on.

For the love of God please no more ex basketball athletes turned football wannabes.. I'm sick of the Bradtkes and Farris-Whites that have zero Footy IQ clogging up our list.

Get a proper young ruckman through any junior talent level whether that's through Coates League or WAFL Colts and just let them be footballers first and foremost. 

I'm hoping we're looking closely at Joe Pike from the Geelong Falcons or Jordan Doherty from Dandenong Stingrays if we're looking at developing rucks later on in the draft.

Honestly, all the best to KFW and whatever he chooses to pursue moving forward. Thanks for your efforts.

Definitely agree with your sentiment. We're clearly lacking in 'football skills' in general terms of our list. The only thing I'd raise though is that Farris-White (and Bradtke I believe) were both Category B rookies, so it's a slightly different scenario as opposed to picking someone from a football development league. Category B rookies are additional spots on the list, so having Farris-White listed as one didn't take away a list spot from another player from an actual football background. In that regard, he wasn't 'clogging' the list, but I do agree with you in terms of recruitment focus.

Did they even play football or even soccer as juniors?

Complete waste if they hadn't.

We have got to get better with these experiment types.

I thought Bradtke showed promise. He had a lot of injuries, didn't he?
