Announced Retirements and Delistings, List spots and Picks 2018 edition - The grass on the other side isn't Green

Football Discussion Trade week Duursma head in

To keep SMack on the Rookie list would be offensive imo. He will be upgraded with one of the 4th round draft picks during the draft ( not normally announced during the draft broadcast). Surely.

That they don’t require using actual picks to upgrade anymore, hence no announcement during the draft.

44

Thanks. Makes it easy.

45

Brown can obviously now be removed from the uncontracted list.

Leaves 7.

Mark Baguley
Matt Dea
Michael Hartley
Matthew Leuenberger
Jake Long
Mynott
McNiece

Don’t expect we will hear regarding Baguley or Leuenberger until late in the trade process, or afterwards.

Surprised Long hasn’t been decided or announced. Would be very surprised if he kept his spot.

Suspect Dea and Hartley might be waiting to see if any better offers arise, both for them and for us.

Surprised Mynott hasn’t been decided or announced. I can’t imagine them letting him go, and would be surprised if someone was trying to poach him.

And I have no idea what they are doing with McNiece.

Thanks for the update, I’d missed that Brown was re-signed.

On Mynott, sometimes signing the rookies just doesn’t get much press.

You’d think the club would send a members first email if nothing else if he signs

48

Anyone watching the Brownlow tonight that BJ wasn’t in the 2018 retirees??

Is he possibly being kept on or traded??

Note - I also posted in the BJ thread

He’ll be keeping the door open to offers from clubs bereft of finger pointers

He would be a great addition to GC, if he wanted to go.

51

I think the Saints should pick him up.

His cards were marked the day he belted Mills.

As far as going on next year, he doesn’t have a leg to stand on

57

Will Bugg have a thorax to grind?

He also wasn’t that good.
Pedersen, Max King and 2 other Dees I hadn’t heard of also got the axe.

And yet half of bomberblitz was desperate to get him just a few years ago

Maybe it’s a sign they are going to get Gaff.

Modern footy only allows room for one bloke who smashes blokes off the play on every list.

Poor bugger. Oh well he will just have to knuckle down and belt out some good games.
