Roos delist Makepeace, Jones

October 13, 2006 THE Kangaroos today delisted experienced defender Troy Makepeace and youngster Chad Jones.

Makepeace has played 139 games since debuting in 2000 for the Roos, while Jones played six games in his three years with the club.

Makepeace and Jones join Cameron Thurley, Mark Powell, rookie Justin Perkins and retirees Sav Rocca and Jade Rawlings as players delisted by the Kangaroos after a disappointing 2006.

Im shattered with Makepeace, always liked him and though he has been under rated for all of his career - thanks skull

Makepeace, 27 next year, this year in and out of the Roo's side, played some good games but had some average games as well, I don't think he will be picked up

watch North swoop on makepeace

word in Melb is Makepeace has been dumped due to off field issues and a clash with Laidley, thought also is another club will pick him up

Is it possible this year that Woewodin will get drafted?

TroyGFC

not a hope in Hell

clubs have declared their hand, 5 years ago the trade period was hectic and this was the key week in building your list, NOW it's the draft, clubs rather pick young talent, with no baggage or ego's rather then recycle a player

At least we could afford to Jimmy!

I've just read reports that Port has delisted Ware, Bishop and Ezard, probably no surprises there, although i think it wouldn't have been a bad decision to give Ezard another year.

As for Bishop, presumably the coaching staff believe that Carlile is ready to take up the 3rd tall position in the backline.

Definately surprised at Ezard. Improved a lot this year. I guess he was a player that I personally couldnt see becoming a regular. There is talk we will re-draft him as a rookie.

Ware...good riddance to bad rubbish.

Bishop...fantastic clubman but was terrible the last two years. Was one of our most reliable players from 01-04 though.

Melb Delist

Smith, Motlop and Read

Even with Peter Everitt already having moved to Sydney and John Barker retiring, the Hawks still told another half a dozen players on Monday their services weren't required - leaving the club with plenty of room to top up its list at the NAB AFL draft on November 25.

This year's draft is considered the strongest since 2001 when the Hawks claimed Luke Hodge with the first selection.

The six players axed were Matthew Ball, Luke Brennan, Nick Ries, Ben Kane, Harry Miller and Josh Thurgood, following meetings with coach Alastair Clarkson and football operations general manager Mark Evans.

SD Says

Will either the Crows or Power invite Harry Miller to train, maybe for a rookie spot?

nick ries will get picked up by someone. he was quality a few yrs ago?!?

Miller is nowhere near AFL quality. Id be dissapointed if the Power chased him.

S/D

if hawthorn have now delisted/retired/transfered 8 people, and only have picks 6,24,33,40 and 56 = 5picks, are they intending to go in 2007 3 short or am i missing something.

they have upgraded two players from their rookie list and will have 1 selection in the pre-season draft

S/D

thought they might of up graded players. wouldn't have thought they would go into pre-draft with 3 picks.

thanks for that mate

too easy mate

just for your info McGlynn and Gilham were the two players promoted from the rookie list, both players played 4 games in 2006
