QuoteWITH ITS second season in the book, Greater Western Sydney has begun the task of culling its list, with Setanta O'hAilpin, Bret Thornton and Gerald Ugle among five players delisted on Wednesday.

QuoteSouth Australian Josh Growden and rookie-listed New South Welshman Joe Redfern have also been delisted after failing to crack the senior team.

QuoteThe club also announced on Wednesday that retired Giants Chad Cornes and Dean Brogan will become full-time assistant coaches at the club.

I don't even remember Thornton playing a game of the Giants, was he injured at all this year? I guess they just picked him up for depth.

Also have brogan retiring.


freeing up some list space for trading pick 1 :P

Will be a constant storyline for the Giants the next few years.

Bret Thornton :(

He is a good mates uncle!

Given St Kilda's lack of defensive talls he may see it as a good opportunity for him moving forward.

Ziplock

he's got a reasonable opportunity at the giants as well :P

Like I can understand moving clubs... but you'd think he'd try for a club that isn't going to be blowing as much as the giants for the next few years :P

Rusty00

He's competing with Davis, Mohr, Plowman, jaksch and Corr for future spots in the Giants defense. Less competition at the Saints particularly if Fisher leaves.

Bill Manspeaker

it's about the future zip. he'll be with us for the next 10 years (hopefully anyway) where he knows he will be our number 1 back. why wouldn't he pick the Saints? obviously a smart young man. like him already

I thought Dylan Roberton was your No.1 one back?  :P

But yeah, I hope he gets to the Saints, I think it'll be good for him.
