Over the last few years Sydney have seemed to have some interesting delistings.

Brabazon, Luke Vogels and Simon Phillips are three that come to mind that weren't too bad when given an opportunity

Not having a go at the Bombers, just asking the question ... Was it worth recruiting Skipworth for a season?

Not having a go at the Bombers, just asking the question ... Was it worth recruiting Skipworth for a season?

I think so, yes.
He was a good contributor when he played and I'm sure the younger Bomber players would've gained some valuable insights and confidence just from his presence on field and at training. It's just a pity injuries kept preventing us from seeing him at his best on a regular basis. I know Sheedy was a huge wrap for Skippy and was the reason he moved to Bendigo in the first place a few years ago.

[ORDoubleBlues]

Will be interested to see if Kane Tenace is given another shot somewhere as thought he could play but just didn't happen for him the last few years.

25 next year.

i believe he should be givien a crack but the geelong side was a very hard 1 to get in to

Cheers mate, from what I saw he had a reasonable year and definitely contributed, so you're prob right about the influence he carried with the younger players.

To be honest I don't think I've ever seen anything decent in Blackjack since he first started .. I know getting a birth in the Cats lineup is the toughest gig in town, but IMHO he's never shown anything but ordinary ability.

Should have went to Essendon when they were knocking down his door.

I would be staying away from him.

[Rik E Boy]

Tenace can't kick. He'd fit right in at the Tigers. One of Geelong's few recruiting **** ups this decade. The only reason he stayed on the list for as long as he did was because he was pick seven and we didn't want to admit that we arsed that one up.

I was dancing when I found out Tenace got the arse. The Tenace bakery is out of business at Geelong!

Michael Voss has taken a broom through the Lions list delisting 12 players. They include

Jason Roe
Joel McDonald
Rian Hooper
Scott Harding
Joel Tippett (Kurts brother, bring him to an SANFL club and Adelaide could have a gun player for life)

If I had a pick in the PSD, I'd be taking Joel McDonald as early as I could. Not sure what Voss is thinking with that one.

i was surprised by that one as well. i think he played every game this year

he didnt offer much that we didnt already have on the list

Would Rhan Hooper be worth drafting preseason? must have bags of talent if the lions kept him on for long considering the misdemeanors.
