Simple reason why Rowe was cut was because...
a) He was not contracted.
b) He is 30.

Everyone who was not contracted has been cut (apart from Pickett if my list is correct).

Lamb has been invited to train with us to potentially regain a spot on our list.

The other 3, have not.

Which i don't mind, as he is young enough and offers something the others do not. Something unique as an aggressive defensive forward, or small defender. We are light on for both.

Jones and Weitering vs the big key forwards....going to be carnage....we need another tall big defender with grunt.
Dont want that banana Hugh Goddard either......

Delisting Rowe is fair enough but where is the replacement for the gorillas....

I find it unbelievable that we've flicked 4 guys. Especially Rowe. One of our leaders and 1 year back from a knee reco.
Live Long and Prosper!

Well its simply because we couldn't trade anyone away......and we kept trading for players.

If we had've found an interested party for Casboult, we would've kept Rowe.
If Byrne hadn't 'retired' we probably would've been forced to delist Pickett!

Its a little bit poor list management wise considering we wanted to bring in mature-ish mids, and at the end of the day we had to delist 2 of them because we brought in too many other types.

Worst part about the Rowe delisting is that he is stuck on 99 games!  :'(

I will bet you whatever you like Lynch doesn't kick 10 (or a big bag) against us rnd 1. He has beat up on us (and only us) a few times, wont happen next year. Lynch (IMO) is so overrated its not funny. I hope it ends in tears for him and 9thmond.

Well beat those pussies Rd 1.

That said, poor to cut Rowe on 99 games....very poor.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Change the locker rule to 99 games then!! And make it retrospective and yes, I remember Brad Fisher - hopefully Mitch McGovern's poor cousin!

Fisher could have gotten to 100 games but we were too busy trying to set standards And he only played 1 match in his final year.

Rowe's a victim of circumstance.  He got stranded on 99 games mainly through injury and it coincided with our list management strategy and unluckily missed only two rounds this season after returning from his acl.

Had we traded Levi, he might have remained.
