Sherman - Delisted

gone

Following the conclusion of trade period, the Western Bulldogs today announced, after mutual agreement, that Justin Sherman will seek to continue his career at another Club via the AFL Pre-Season Draft.

Sherman exits Whitten Oval a year before the expiration of his contract, after reaching a settlement with the Club.

General Manager of Football James Fantasia said it was recognised by both parties that the midfielder was not part of the Club’s future plans and it was appropriate for Sherman to look elsewhere for greater opportunities.

“Justin and the Club agreed that there were limited on-field opportunities for him next season and that it was best to part ways,” Fantasia said.

“We wish Justin the best in his future endeavours.”

Sherman played 24 games with the Western Bulldogs, including ten in 2012, since crossing over from Brisbane in 2010.

Good move. Looks like we may be targeting someone in the PSD.

Re: Sherman - Delisted

Very interesting, obviously no clubs where interested.

Wonder if he will get picked up?

His card was marked at pre-season training when Macca had a go at him for not having his shirt on and seeing his tatts.

I'd suggest if had of performed to the level expected, Macca might have been able to put that behind him. Definite case though of coach and player not gelling.

Re: Sherman - Delisted

What happens to his salary?

Is it in next years cap? I assume some of it / if not all has to be.

Perhaps another piece to why Lake was also traded out?

Unless he finds a home and we do a deal on salary, we will have to pay him.

If he gets picked in the PSD I believe the next club takes it, otherwise we have to pay him.

Right or wrong?

I presumed he would have reached a settlement with us

And then whatever he gets paid wherever he plays next year is a separate issue

Re: Sherman - Delisted

I wonder if they are looking at Ben Jacobs for the psd?

Re: Sherman - Delisted

I'm assuming he was on the trade table then? So if no club was interested at trade time, why would they be interested come the PSD?

Maybe coz they are pretty much getting him for free and not giving up say a top 40 pick in the national draft. Having said that, I could see a club not picking him.

Yeah I think that is how it works. Not 100% sure though

Re: Sherman - Delisted

Honest decision with Sherman given he doesnt fit into the clubs plans
