Sweeney and Raymond gone!

[Saints94]

its a shame that we never gave sweney a real go

[B W and R all over]

Has Rob Harvey said yet whether he will go on for 2008?
If so, that makes six gone already and I doubt we'd delist more than that.

Maybe he was just not good enough

15 other clubs did not have him on the radar

a smokie that suprised so many......by even being picked/considered

JB has received praise over the years.....

if it was his pick alone has to accept got this one wrong.......

so have many others

its a shame that we never gave sweney a real go

there was no room for him in our side

big deal

life moves on

[meher baba]

If Sweeney has been delisted so that CJ can be elevated, or we can recruit some more players as exciting as Birss, then I for one am not going to jump up and down for joy.

I'd have sooner seen the likes of Ferguson or even McQualter moved on: at least they've both been given a reasonable go at the AFL level.

No argument with delisting Raymond: he never did enough to get onto anyone's radar screen.

I had big wraps on Justin Swenney i thought he would be the next russell robertson

[skeptic]

it could never have been him since he had only een on the list 1 year and draftees must play at least 2

that just means they'd have to have paid out his contract

Neither are a big loss, especially Raymond....

no...we can be hopefull for all our draftees but they all arent going to become stars...not even gop's

and i would hope that justin sweeney would have wanted to become the first justin sweeney

not the second of some other guy

[goodie]

Do u guys r'ber when TS40 got the axe, it was rumoured that the day b4 the deadline that 1 more Saint may cop it too...
we all thought that that mysterious Saint may have been Raph Clarke but the rumour mill has it that was Sweeney that may have gone due to his attitude.

He did make a bit of a late season surge to keep his spot but by then IMO it was pbly too late... when you're not an amazingly gifted player you have to work 100% 100% of the time to make it and he pbly didn't

it could never have been him since he had only een on the list 1 year and draftees must play at least 2

Not entirely true, draftees have to be offered at least a two year contract, but some have been cut after one (I believe Essendon did it to a player last year)

[BAM! (shhhh)]

Are both/either rookie eligible?

[Zed]

if they were good enough, they would have forced their way into the team.

Good luck to them both in their future endeavours.

[super dooper]

Is there a possibility we will do the same thing we did with Fergoson last yr and pick Sweeney up with out last pick?

Corect me if im mistaken, but a club must delist 3 players per season

From what i have seen ON THE FIELD of sweeney there is something there, hopefully something like this wakens him up to what he can potentially achieve.

[Solar]

both delistments not suprising.

sweeney struggled since he came back from injury, only played casey 2nds for the last month of the season and was battling with certain perceptions within the club.

That makes five. I do not think we will make anymore delistments before the trading period (we will upgrade out rookies before the trading perhaps if anything).

My gut feeling is if voss hangs up the boots both fergs and brooks will be saved (brooks saved because of G retiring, fergs saved because of fisher being moved into the midfield holding role after the attard injur/baker suspension).

doubt that will happen...if the club wanted to retain sweeney, they would not have had to delist him, only to re draft him since 3 players had already excited the club.

Also there is no guarentee that we would pick him back up if he was nominated for the draft, i can confirm that there is interest from 2 other clubs that are talking to him.

[lovin_dal_santo]

not suprised that it would not have changed their decision but I wonder if there is any hope of bluffing in this day and age
