After the loss, coach Alan Richardson confirmed neither would play for the club next year - in the pursuit of young talent, Jones and Gwilt would have to play elsewhere if their AFL careers were to continue.

"We had a conversation earlier in the week that there won't be a position for those two guys going forward," Richardson said.




Well that was quick

Good effort out there boys. Everyone into the ice baths! Except for you Clint and James, you guys have been delisted.

:P

Sad to see these blokes go, but know it is the right decision. Actually thought there might be a couple of other names in there.

Looks like the Herald Sun (I think it was) whisper of Gwilt to the Crows might happen.

Good start for the Saints, Gwilt has nothing more than a bit player and Clint Jones was well past his decent tagging days.

Leaves a ton of spots open for the to trade/draft with Maister/Lenny/Milera all gone.

All they have to do now is cull Schneider and they'll be ready to start improving

This is turning out to be interesting, we got these guys gone
Maisters (Quit)
Hayes (Retire)
Milera (Leaving)
Gwilt ( Delisted)
Jones (Delisted)

With the other possible delistings of;
Gilbert (Delisting)
TDL (Delisting)
Schneider (Delisting)
Lee ( Trade Bait)
Sipposs (Trade Bait)

Interesting to see how aggressive the Saints get.


Nige

Surely Gilbert is too important (like Fisher)?

Did I hear correctly on the radio today that it's the saints 27th wooden spoon??  :o

If that's the case then they win the spoon nearly every 3rd year. That's crazy

Master Q

Any chance of Dunnell being picked up by someone else?

Nige

Dunnell axed, didn't see that coming. Could get picked up, decent player.

Not sure how your maths skills work, but they joined the VFL in 1897, so well over 100 years ago, 117 actually. So that is a wooden spoon every 4.3 years, which is closer to every 5 years than every 3 years.
