Delistings and retirements 2024

You've got to remember, his kpi is clicks and views. It's not truthfulness, or number of comments supporting him. It's just raw numbers - how many people clicked on this video, and how much ad revenue did that make us?

I don't think he believes even 10% of what he says, but he is very good at his job.

For sure. Not having a go at anyone here, but he seems to get a bit of attention on here and I don’t understand it. As you say he just engagement farms/click baits nonsense. Seeing someone screenshot his Stephenson for Dunkley trade on Twitter was just another example of why we shouldn’t be responding to every/most BS thing he says. Especially since I reckon he’s going to increase his focus on us to generate clicks next year.

He's got some ability but I wonder what role we would have in mind for him?
He doesn't appear to be a good match for us.

Oh please no.

Woohoo, another washed up VFL footballer for happy days to add to his collection!

The big knocks on him are his lack of pace and inability to cover ground. Considering these appear to be specific areas we are promising over others that rumour makes no sense.

Yeah, I don't really see how he would fit in with us especially since we just picked up Kennedy. If he was a quick player then his tackling ability would be pretty attractive but he really seems only average paced with my limited vision of him.

I still don't understand why Markov played ahead of Noble in the 2023 finals. I think Noble is the better player.

I think Markov is the better kick.
He must have done something right to stay in that team for the rest of the year.
maybe his intensity and focus is lacking ?

He would be a good DFA if we can pick him up

As we learnt from the 2016 Grand Final, Grand Finals are games of territory. Someone with Markov's pace can clear the ball significantly easier by just running as hard as he can and then throwing it on the boot. Noble is a better player but he doesn't move the ball as well.

This shuffling of players on the rookie list must be because the list sizes are too small

ADELAIDE has delisted contracted pair Harry Schoenberg and Chris Burgess with the commitment to re-select them at this month's Telstra Rookie Draft.

The moves came as clubs needed to make their first list lodgements.

The procedural move means Schoenberg and Burgess, who are both signed at the club until the end of 2025, will be delisted and then re-selected by the Crows at the rookie draft on November 22.

WHO'S CALLED IT QUITS 2024's retirements and delistings

Schoenberg played four games in 2024, while Burgess, who crossed from Gold Coast, played seven in his first season at the club.

Under AFL rules, clubs must make at least three additions to their senior list each season, which can include rookie upgrades.

The Crows, like half of the competition, needed to cut contracted players and reselect them as rookies because of their tight lists.

Collingwood (Oleg Markov and Ash Johnson), Sydney (Aaron Francis and Joel Hamling), Fremantle (Max Knobel), Brisbane (Darragh Joyce and Darcy Craven), North Melbourne (Toby Pink), Hawthorn (Jack Gunston), Greater Western Sydney (Josh Fahey, Lachie Keeffe and Jacob Wehr) and Richmond (Mate Colina) are other clubs who will use the same mechanism to delist then redraft players.

...or because clubs are unable to make decisions on players...or because they gave too long a deal to someone else and now they are being forced to move someone to the rookie list as they are in a position of need. Absolutely the Sydney and Freo decisions smack of the latter...

Makes you wonder if clubs weren’t forced to use three draft picks a year (less upgrades), how many players would actually get drafted?

There is a bit of both options no doubt.
