    Really?
    I'd heard that Jarryd Hayne is in talks with the Swans.

      Will we ever find out #whatDeanoDid ?
      Terrible time of year for these kids who get delisted

          Names as expected. Must be some interest elsewhere in Rose for him not to be gone as well. Maybe to rookie list or a one year base senior list contract.

          List down to 32 (Towers, Foote, Tippett, Hanners, Newman, Rohan) plus Ronke so now 33. Five places to fill at this stage

At least he'd help fill the bit of an age void we have on the list in that mid-20s, 100 game bracket.

              Plus the Saints have a silly abundance of Jacks on their list - six currently, not to mention a Jake, a Jade, two Joshs, a Jarryn and a Jimmy.
              I don't know much about Newnes but he never gets injured. That's a capability we're begging for.

                  Bit surprised with Brown. I thought that he was doing ago in the NEAFL and improving.
                  Also a bit surprised that Pink wasn't delisted. Maybe management forgot he is on the list?
                  I don't think he was already delisted, was he?

Maybe Mattner is another exception in that he was a regular in the Crows' senior team before he moved, but I got the feeling he had been advised to look elsewhere for more future opportunities. The rest were not really wanted by the existing club, or wanted but still stuck behind a fair few in the queue for a regular senior game (eg Mumford).
                      Didn't think BBBH was a star at the time although his talent was obvious. Agree he was looked upon as troubled and in need of a fresh start. Similar to the report that we were interested in De Goey last year although his issues weren't the same as Big Barry and his anger management problems.

                        I hope we are looking to play Newnes on the wing and not in the backline. It doesn't sound like he provides much defensive pressure.

                            Of all our more experienced out-of-contract NEAFL players, he'd be the first one I'd keep. He's shown gradual improvement in his time with the club and his NEAFL grand final was exceptional in a side being badly thrashed.

                            There are a couple of other names missing from the list of delistees - Fox, Pink, Robinson. Robbo asked for a trade last off-season but no other club was much interested. Maybe they'll offer him around again. If no-one bites, he's a handy depth player to keep on the list, if he's happy to hang around on that basis. Similarly Fox might be worth hanging onto for another year. Doubt he'll push his way into the best 22 but he's OK as the 22nd player picked when there are some injuries.

                            The non-naming of Pink at this stage suggests that maybe they still see something in him. I acknowledge injury robbed him of any chance to improve this year, but I struggle to see him taking the step to AFL level in the near future (ie two or three years), at least as a forward. He just doesn't seem to have the instincts or mongrel. If you compare his first year to the raw and imperfect first year of Amartey, they were poles apart.

                              Foote a little unlucky with injuries. Hard as nails and never got a prolonged crack at it. Wonder if Gold Coast will be interested in him and Towers who could easily have played more games but club chose to keep blooding youngsters. More than useful AFL standard player.

                                Even though we could see it coming, I'm a bit perplexed as to what bought about Towers downfall. I think Markwebbos has it right...."Will we ever find out #whatDeanoDid?"
