When Geelong and Hawthorn are saying you can't play, you probably cant play. They know what they are doing. Gray and Newnes? They are limited players of the type you are always going to be trying to replace...to me the Power and Saints have acknowledged this by moving them along (and Sydney and Carlton have erred in selecting them).
I agree with this.

Hawthorn got rid of Brand despite numerous chances and have effectively decided that Sam Frost is a better option.

While Geelong have opted for Josh Jenkins at the wrong end of the age scale over Buzza.

Both decisions are pretty damning on the outgoing players.

Gray and Newnes are just depth and won't be the difference for a rise up the ladder.
