    I got pretty strong B and E vibes from Charlie and frankly I'm not too sorry that he's gone.

          Noah Cumberland had a fall from grace after a 5-for. He came down to train the juniors a few times at Brunswick. You could not meet a nicer fellow.
          But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

            I really thought he looked a decent player yet he can't hold a spot on what will be easily the worst list in the league for next year.

              He has Billy Gowers vibes to me. Good athlete but his smarts and game sense are just a complete roll of the dice.
              I should leave it alone but you're not right

                Mitch Cleary is reporting Jayden Stephenson from north has retired from afl with a year remaining on his deal.

                  Hard call to make but if his heart isn't in it then why not.

                  Talented junior player, distractions at the senior level got the better of him.

                    I’d hang around a year for $500,000.

                      Getting paid 500K to stay fit and play some footy with a lot of mates sounds very tempting doesn't it?
                      Huge decision by Stephenson.

                        My guess is there is a golden handshake for some of it.

                        From the fire sale of Collingwood over several years. Grundy lasted one year at Dees. Phillips barely got a game at Hawthorn before being cut. Now the two North recruits are gone. I think we picked wisely with Adz AA last year.

                          Not that tempting if you don't really like the club, or football, or keeping fit...

                            I am willing to do some truly unspeakable things for $500,000 a year if any of the Cabal or the Illuminati are reading this thread. Drop me a pm.

                              Paton as a small defender and Hayes as ruck depth both potentially fill a need for us. Hotton another casualty of the dire 2022 draft.

                              Luckless tall departs as Saints make three more list changes

                              ST KILDA has confirmed the delistings of Ben Paton, Jack Hayes and Olli Hotton, having said farewell to forward Tim Membrey on Monday.

                              Paton, pick 46 in the 2017 draft, played 71 games for the Saints as a small defender, including just four this year.

                              AFL.com.au reported earlier this month that Greater Western Sydney had expressed an interest in him as a ready-to-go recruit and he could be given another chance over the summer signing period.

                              Hayes, a mature-aged recruit from South Australia, has had a horror run with injury during his time at the Saints, playing just eight senior games.

                              He had some interest from Collingwood in recent weeks, although the Magpies are expected to pick up Membrey after he was also cut by the Saints this week.

                              Hotton, pick 35 in the 2022 AFL Draft, did not play a senior game for the Saints.

                              "Ben, Jack and Olli have all been valued players throughout their time at the club," Saints footy boss David Misson said.

                              "Each have had their individual significant injury setbacks, however, have continually shown to be resilient, optimistic and professional young men throughout these periods.

                              "We wish them all the best for this next chapter of their lives and careers."

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