    I get a bit confused about why some players are considered talented and others aren't.

    Kavanagh is slow as treacle, can't kick, and is purely outside. I don't think he can play at all. Even VFL would be a stretch.

    I think he saw the writing on the wall and figured a new club would offer him an extra year or two in the system even if he didn't improve. No one was interested.

    His father was accused of trying to intimidate clubs into not drafting him because he and Elliot barracked for Essendon and wanted them to draft him. North and us were two of the clubs mentioned.

        Attitude problems as well by all accounts. Do not want.

        The only delistee I'm really interested in was delisted two years ago (Mitch Brown) and even then pick 30 might be a reach for him

            I don't think this is a good comparison and for starters we should be looking for someone to give us some depth as a forward or defender. If someone like Brown could come in and play 10 serviceable games that should be more than enough.

              Meant more on the injury side of things and games played.

                That's the wrong Mitch Brown.

                    Some more delistings:

                    MATTHEW Wright has joined Brodie Martin and Sam Siggins as departures from Adelaide's senior list with the Crows delisting the half-forward on Wednesday.

                      Too many Mitch Browns.
                      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                          Warnock delisted.

                          Andrew Moore to Richmond.

                            So much bloody angst and bad blood started by Carlton at that trade and ends in a delisting with no good footy from him. #TheCarltonWay

                              Some more delistings:

                              North
                              Majak Daw (North to re-rookie if still available)
                              Kieran Harper

                              Port
                              Kane Mitchell (Port to re-rookie if still available)

                              Carlton
                              Nick Holman
                              Tom Fields
                              Brad Walsh

                              Richmond
                              Matt Dea
                              Nathan Gordon

                              The 2 from North are interesting. Daw could potentially give us some ruck depth, although the upcoming rape trial is a major worry. Harper was linked to us a year ago as part of a potential trade for Cooney that didn't eventuate when he stupidly choose Essendon over North.

                                I don't think we would still be interested but didn't we have some interest in Harper last year?
