How Many Will Leave?

It absolutely amazes me how L Ablett (even though he's an A word) and Jarrad Crouch get rettained on the list and we drop Thornton even if we pick him up again on the rookie list, which seems likely. We are moving towards a rebuilding stage and guys with massive pttential like Thornton get dropped and re rookied (possibly) and crouch is chillin no pressure on. Are we or are we not looking towards the future i appreciate what crouch has done and i loved him in 05 but we are nowlooking towards our next flag and he is NOT in those calculations.
Crouch and Ablett delisted

Murphy promoted
Thornton stays as is

God i hope Vez wins the rising star this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off season sucks bring back footy

Looks like Jessie White or Heath Grundy is going to take Leo's spot with Brendan Murphy waiting in the wings. Personally I hope Murphy goes to CHF when O'looughlin and Hall go and the No. 12 pick from this years draft goes forward aswell. With vez playing the small forward nick davis role.

What? Make leads in the forward line and have his team mates ignore him? I hope not.

Thornton could be picked up by another club in the ND.

That is the main concern considering Freo and Eagles have first dibs before us.

Would by mighty pissed off if someone else got Thornton if we planned to rookie him.

Unless the AFL has changed the NSW Rookie list rules, if Thornton is not selected in the national draft he could be nominated as a NSW rookie (ala Matthew 'Smokey' Davis) as he has spent three years "in the NSW system". If he agrees then the club nominates him as a NSW rookie prior to the rookie draft and no other club could rookie him even if they have earlier picks.

If ther rules have changed then he is up for grabs. Obviously, if there is no interest - he's gone!
