    Waite
    Silvagne (Alex)
    Retired

    Goddard no contract offered.
    Just thought I would start a thread so we can keep track of who has gone or who might be a good pick up.

    Situation to date with many more to come:

    Freeman the biggest surprise after finally getting over his injuries and making his debut only a couple of weeks ago.

    Nothing in the cheap as chips category of acquisitions so far.

    Freeman. I say this with absolutely no knowledge of him whatsoever, but a shock delisting like that sets off some bells.

    Idk if it's that big a shocker really. In the game against us he looked a long way off the mark, has totally lost his best trait (his pace), and is severely limited by poor skills. The Saints probably just didn't think he was ever going to put it back together, and are pretty justified in my opinion.

    Agree with Happy Days. I dont understand why it is a shock. It was kind of a good news story but wasn't he dropped after playing his 2 games?

    Here's an update on Freeman.

    Sounds as if he was probably given every opportunity to show something but unfortunately failed.

    Hugh Goddard delisted by the saints as well. He was a first round/very early second round pick not long ago like Collins for us.

    He can't run with the hamstrings he has. Poor guy just ruined by injury.

    I doubt he would have lasted 5 years on an AFL list if he was a dickhead considering the injuries he's had. In fact to keep going like he has seems to show some pretty good character I would say. Unfortunately, as others have mentioned it seems the injuries may have taken their toll.

    Oh I don't mean to be. Just struck me as odd that he'd finally get a couple of games then get axed.

    But others have set me straight so it's all good.
