Delisted Cat Cory Gregson is a major chance at finding a new home.

He's the type of delisted player that you'd feel comfortable with at least taking a punt on instead of using pick 70+ on a speculative kid. Just needs luck with injuries

Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Absolutely, Saints are dire and have years worth of pain in their near future.

Aside from Jack Stevens ( who has had a very ordinary season) and Seb Ross, their midfield has NO depth. They are in a fair bit of trouble. Years of "rebuilding" to come.
They really have not planned since retirements of Montagna and Lenny Hayes. They should have kept Nick Del Santo. And they traded out the better ruckman in McEvoy! I felt he was very good young ruck in his early years. That shows that he had great potential. Hickey is a spud. Billy Longer... ironic name for Eker potential...
Maybe Coffield and Hunter may be part of the rebuild. But their history of developing young players is poor. I cannot see any of their current young players going into the elite or A-grade level.
Armitage and Newnes are not best 22 anymore.
Can't see Billings or Steele playing for long period in the midfield
Shane savage is a terrible kick, and thats why Clarkson let players of his type go.
Membrey is a terrible kick and only plays 1 quarter of good footy a game
Going through this list, what a bunch of plodders!

They have pick 3 and pick 57!( indicative) in this year's upcoming draft.
They are truly stuffed. Threatening to finish bottom 4 next year. Love it.

Two fringe forwards among five Dees cut
"FRINGE Demons Cameron Pedersen and Tom Bugg are among five Demons who won't be at Melbourne next year..."
Seems an opportune time to update this ...

Mathew Wright retired , surprising I thought he was one of the only players who could kick goals at Carlton.

Re: Retired or players not given contracts 2018
FORMER No.2 draft pick Jonathan O'Rourke headlines a trio of Hawthorn players delisted on Wednesday.
21 games across 6 seasons and 2 clubs. Bad run with injuries. Not sure if any clubs will gamble on him. My bet would be St. Kilda or North.

He must have a great manager at talking him up. Well done to him for milking 2 clubs across 6 years

Sometimes it doesn't work out for a variety of reasons. But it wasn't through lack of trying. Our family knows the O'Rourke's pretty well - Jono wasn't trying to 'milk' anyone, he was trying to be an AFL player.

Sometimes a hot junior just doesn’t make it to the next level.

Especially big forwards who have grown ahead of their age, once the others catch up they can quickly fall into mediocrity.

I think he had one year left but was offered a coaching role at the crows and took that.

Apologies if it came across the wrong way at poor attempt of humour.
Its not easy to make it as an AFL players, especially with injuries. Maybe should have came across better as ... cannot blame him for trying.
His done well to be able to be in the system for 6 years.
