On conversations with George Hewett:
"He’d be somewhat disappointed. In all these conversations, not just George, we’ve had a number of players that have been in form and they’re the conversations you want as a coach. One of the big things that we’ve tried to get after is the durability of our group: these are great conversations right now, because we’re having plenty of them.

“It’s challenging the guys ahead of them in those positions, but it’s also putting them in a place to have some really good form. Guys like George, he’s really determined to get back in the AFL team and some younger players that are stating a really strong case. We’ve got Billy Wilson that’s played really good footy for a month now, ‘Saady’ is back in the team who’s been in really good form, Boyd, Flynn Young is one that’s been the most consistent.

“They keep challenging guys in those positions, and they’re the conversations we want to continue to have... The big thing for us is we always acknowledge the individual. I’ve got 45 players that want to play AFL, that doesn’t fit into the team.”

How they came to that call based on output beggars belief

Cerra has a contract till the end of 2030, Hewett has another 12 months, I'm thinking that might have something to do with the clubs thinking, that's presuming Mitch Cleary has his information correct on Hewett..

On the basis of the last 12 to 24 months, its clear as the day is long, that there are a bunch of players who no longer wanted to be here, who have moved on.  Perhaps George is just one more.  Mcgovern would have gone too if someone actually wanted him.  They didnt, so he stayed. 

Charlie, TDK and JSOS all walking and we have gone a tad younger to build around the Walsh age group.  A decent idea strategically but maybe not a popular one. 

Cooper Lord last week against Fremantle , 18 disposals and 6 tackles. time on ground 65%.  Only second game back after illness.
Unlucky to be dropped.
