Certainly, competing for the same roles, but Binns' running was well above the others.

Although I think his physicality was well below those he competed with, and that might not be acceptable for a coach with Voss' history!

Anyway, it's just another speculation, I think the real question is not why he was delisted, but why he wasn't picked up because his running is elite at any level.

Cottrell and Hollands, O are elite runners, they make better use of the pill when they get it, and they play better defence. 

I believe that Binnsy will be playing for Berwick in 2026 but he's also on Essendon's VFL list.  I think that supports our decision to tear up his contract.

Too many similar types and he didn't have any tricks, disposal was average.

O. Hollands, L. Camporeale....even Cottrell play the same role and better.

Define 'running'.

As DJC just stated, Cottrell and Hollands are elite runners, and have been for years now. Maybe Binns' beat them in a race here or there, but at best he was on a par with them in that area (i disagree) but was behind in every other area IMO, hence the delisting.
