It's usually when they get moved on. I don't think there would be many lining up though, perhaps only West Coast for a packet of skittles and a home brand fruit box.

Soldo won't play, hasn't played SANFL the last game and a half. Presume named so its one less they name from the SANFL side...

Rioli on the edge career wise. Obviously has a lot going on personally, probably fortunate for him that he has a year left on his contract

Finlayson gone at end of year

What’s Finlayson done wrong?
He’s no superstar but appears to play a role when I see him play
Surely better option than Lord

He does a lot of things right if you're looking for someone on the field to do as you say but not as you do. He's very instructional, should do more of what he's telling others to do.

Can't help but think what a player he could have been without the weight of the cancer battle his wife is going through

I absolutely agree and when I'm critical of him I try and balance that with what is going on in his life away from footy. The hard part there is I can look at it as two separate issues knowing full well they're not and are completely intertwined.

His kid attends the same dance school as mine and at their mid-year concert, there was this woman taking a zillion photos of a kid in full dance kit. Remember thinking shit she looks familiar but I don't know where from! 10 minutes later I realise it's the Finlaysons. I did not begrudge them one bit when they up and left about 10 minutes after their kid finished on stage. I on the other hand was sticking it out as I'd paid $28 for this show and wanted my moneys worth!
