In the same interview he said unfortunately Tory Dickson has to wait for trade period to be done and dusted before his future is known. I personally believe we have erred in leaving Dickson without a contract.

Why? Where's he going to go? GC? Who else is going to want a crafty but slow 32 year old forward pocket?
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

My read on it is he will be delisted and he should be playing in 2020.

Placing him on the rookie list may be a realistic option.

He would need to nominate for the rookie draft and have 11 clubs over look him. After passing up free agency rights if another club was interested.
That’s after delisting Roarke &/or Gardner to have a free spot.

We can also delist and redraft any player on the main list.
I expect any delistings will only be announced after the trade period has ended and we know what list spots are required.
We can also delist a contracted player specifically to redraft so that we have the mandatory 3 spots available.
If another club were to jump in ahead it would remove our obligations as their contract would be taken by the drafting club.
Lin Jong would be someone who would fit in that category.

Stevo tweeted 100% lock that Tory Dickson is getting a one year extension.

Pretty happy with this. He’s clearly lost a touch of stamina but he can be so deadly as a stay at home forward and in small bursts is quick and loads on the pressure. If he plays on the 4/5th defender he is a great option as we stream out of the middle.

7 goals between a prelim and a granny in 2016. Happy enough to let him run around again given he finished the season off well and we're not exactly flush for smaller forward options.

Re: Lets discuss - Tory Dickson
Agree he still has something to offer the team and I expect he will start in the best 22, but fade through the year.

Re: Lets discuss - Tory Dickson
At risk of plonking carts before horses, if reality matches expectations for 2020 I reckon Dickson is a much more effective/productive piece on a contending team than a middling one.
If Bevo's feeling bullish this is a smart, sensible outcome.

Re: Lets discuss - Tory Dickson
Might be on my own but I really think Dicko is done.
Seemed to scrape through on footy smarts this year and did well to hit the scoreboard as much as he did because he was fairly ineffective otherwise.
Always loved how reliable he was, like to see him drop a few kgs next year and hope he proves me wrong.

I agree that he's looking a bit too robust and think he would benefit from changing his body shape just a touch.
Unlike you though I think he has a bit more to offer if he does do what you're suggesting, he's at a time now where his smarts will always be there but he needs to be able to move across the ground with less stress on his body.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

50:50 this year I thought. Surely he plays fewer games next year (depending on form and competition for spots) and can fire at the times that matter. Very smart footy player and obviously fantastic user in front of goals

He'd be perfect for the super-sub, like Gia was at the end of his career. Except we don't do that any more.
