Before the announcement Harvey and Dal Santo are on record saying they want to play on. Who knows, Dal might get another go, but Harvey won't and won't want too at another club surely.

I reckon Dal Santo would be most likely to get picked up, perhaps by Gold Coast or Brisbane.

Still think it is better if players announce it themselves and can exit with their heads held high

Petrie, Spud and Dal are done. Obviously the club had to wait to see if they wanted to retire but when push came to shove something had to be announced for the benefit of everyone.

I would have thought with 3 of them going you could afford to give Boomer another year. Considering his while it has been dowm a bit has still been pretty good. When you can still get in the best players I would have thought your still required.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

They will cop some flack but realisticly this lot are not premiership material and wont be in the next 12 months. Keep turning them over til you find the right mix.

I have no issue of them delisting them, but why now?? Two weeks out from finals. I do reckon though, boomer had more to give

how would boomer go in the B&F this year? Maybe wells ahead of him but there wouldnt be too many (im probably forgetting someone)

Tarrant will go close to winning their B&F

Just similar to what Blight did to the Crows before 1996, sacking all the veterans
