Delisting/Retirements at the end of season 2012

[bombermancan]

Who will go, who will retire and who will be traded???

[Crazyman]

We all know McVeigh is gone.

I reckon Hille may be heading out the door too.

Not sure if we have anything worth trading to be honest, though we may have to give up either Hooker or a Pears if we are going to target a Caddy or Boak...

Also, not sure if Prismall will stay on the list, though I think he has one more year on his contract???

Other than that...rookies...

[Mrs Mercuri]

Will be interesting to see who we cut at years end....

RETIRE- McVeigh, Hille

DELIST- Slattery, Prismall, ....one of Ross or Steinberg perhaps

TRADE BAIT- Hooker, Pears, Reimers, Gus

Yep, this would be about right.

[ZeroEffect]

Prismall was playing his best footy before he got injured last year. Unless his injury is career threatening I reckon they'll keep him.

[Jazz_84]

they will keep Prismall no question about that

either 1 of Pears or Hooker will be traded

Gus and possibly Slattery traded or at the very least Slats delisted

can't see them holding onto Steinberg but im not sure of his contract situation

I think Reimers will stay

McVeigh 100% gone and Hille 75% gone

so there is about 5-6 off the list, that's all that has to be done you would think

From what i've heard about steinberg this year is that his going no where in the vfl at all. So his definetly gone.

[bombermancan]

Hille will retire.

[boncer34]

Ross has spent the majority of the year injured but has shown plenty when fit.

He'd at least hit the rookie list imo.

[Mrs Mercuri]

Steinberg was drafted as an explosive medium forward, kicked over 20 goals for Bendigo last year... in 2012 he has been moved to defence, hasn't been that bad but hasn't really impressed either... Might come down to either him or Luke Davis for a spot on the list as both are similar players...

[robbie67]

1 good game and every one wants to keep Ovens. He is a list clogger.

[Gimps]

1 good game and every one wants to keep Ovens. He is a list clogger.

The problem is, there is a decent number of players that you would give the arse before him.

Correction half a game robbie.

Which just goes to show you how not great our list currently is.

And FWIW I would delist him if I were coach, but Hird just won't do it this year, so I wouldn't bother raising it as a possibility.

He will retire this year as he was only given a one year contract thank f***.

He won't retire, he'll get another one year contract..

[bomberdonnie]

Sadly I think you are correct Gimps

[j-mac31]

Well we've seen McVeigh for the last time - LTI list.
