Basically means that there is at least one more delisting to happen.

I'll always remember his first name.

Word going around is Michie looking to be re-rookied...

Purple 77 · October 30, 2015, 06:49:45 PM

Turns out Viv was never out of contract...

Ah well. I guess Viv was probably gonna be better than Pick 50 anyway

Apparently Petracca is switching to no. 5, some sort of superstition thing because he did his acl this year :P

Interesting, haha whatevs :P

What number was he previously?

I'm hoping he will be a lot better than the previous number 5

26 I think he was? It was definitely 20 something.

I was wondering if this would happen... good decision IMO. I'm willing to give him a shot on the rookie list.

Makes me wonder if we will use Pick 50 or pick up a DFA...

God I hope Weideman isn't a dud. Played so little footy this year...

And was Hulett really worth delisting Viv Michie for? Just looks like another Leigh Williams to me. I suppose time will tell.

Feel the same about Weideman. Realistically though, we don't have an early pick in next year's draft, and we will hopefully be moving up the ladder in the next few (and the time to develop them also gets shorter). If we want a partner for Jesse, they needed to be drafted now.

King x2 and Hulett will hopefully provide some decent insurance

Think you boys just need to have a bit of faith in Weideman developing nicely to be Jesse's partner in crime. They've got serious potential to be a lethal duo.

Barra13 · November 25, 2015, 12:00:21 PM

The new twin towers. Forget about Tippet/Buddy or Darling/Kennedy.

It's Weideman/Hogan time.

I think you can understand why Melbourne supporters don't have faith in their high draft picks :-X

Haha. I'm pretty skeptical on ours this year. So yes, I know the feel.
