Firrito definitely the right call - Yep, was done two years ago, got 2 bonus yearsPetrie yeh probably as well - yep, should of finished last year, but was contracted this year.Dal Santo 50/50 - Nup, 100% cooked, has zero pace and unaccountable for his opponent, liability this year already.Harvey stiff - Maybe, but Brad Scott said the exact same things about Boomer last year and was hesitant to give him this year.
I;m not surprised on boomer, but I dunno if it's the right call.Yeah he's really old now, but frankly if he's still one of your best players, and you see yourself tilting for a premiership in the next season (which north probably do) then you should be keeping him.Maybe Brad Scott had a couple too many concussions back in the day?

Great call imo

First with real footy newsCrossed Mayne off the list already if he was ever really on it. I doubted they would chase him as it would be odd after the delistings they made to then chase Mayne.

I know that if all the Vic teams pass at the trade table, both SA teams aren't interested (I don't know anything about his home state though). But he has requested Vic as his preferred destination so we need not worry about that at this point.

Surely they'll realise this.
