Really don’t like this. From a back to back top 3 in the BNF & in the leadership group to put the door in 12 months.

This sort of thing usually leads to one of two paths.

The club has moved strongly to match the requirements of what 2023 premiership level football will demand and Trent has found himself pushed out of contention.

Or it's a bit of a ****up and we've let a good man slip down the ratings and out the door for nothing.

"Time will tell".

Stiff - would have been great teaching the kids in the Magoos at a minimum. Not the way to treat a loyal servant who still had serviceable games in the ones

It’s worse when we have ****ing Polec still on the list

 

[Uncle_Leo]

A servicable footballer who did his job.

Hope someone else picks him up who needs someone in a similar role, I think our midfield set up has gone passed what he can offer

Still has 2 years to go on contract

Dumont was out of contract

Is this hard to understand?

I agree with him.
Polec vs Dumont
Dumont wins that every day of the week.

Speaks to some kind of a personality clash imo.

Would seem so.

I don't think we've punted a contracted player yet. We move them on when their OOC.

I'll try again

Polec has two years to go on his contract, if we delist him we still have that in the cap and pay him out around the 1million mark for nothing

Dumont was out of contract, no pay out.

Do I need to go into any further?

Agree. That Atley and Dumont find themselves out of a job while Polec stays seems a bit off.

I don't hate Polec but it's infuriating list management that produced this outcome.

 

[Passmore]

Unfortunate for Dumont personally, but the correct decision.

We did it Urqhart and Cam Richardson. There might've been someone else but can't recall.

Na, structure of the list doesn't really give him much opportunity to get a senior gig, just a victim of circumstance.

If he doesn't get an AFL gig, hope we have him in the VFL side next year.

All the best Froggy.

 

[Shinboner1]

thanks for your service.

Different blokes in charge. We've picked them off when OOC the past 2 off seasons.

It's easy to lay it at the feet of list management but those decisions were made pre-covid cuts. Ordinary decisions magnified by unseen circumstance. If our cap and squad was as flexible as it was two years ago then even if Dumont didn't have a home with us, he almost certainly would have found love as a free agent.

Theres a new sheriff in town. Brutal. All the best froggy, his best work allowed others to play their best.

 

[the big lebowski]

Thanks Froggy

Remember his first game like it was yesterday.

Came on as the sub and helped us over the line for a rare win over the Cats in Geelong.

 

[ferball]

Cheers Froggy.

Goes to show how little the new footy department rate the previous footy departments direction, strategy and decision making.

Talk about putting the list and its leadership to the sword.

 

[the flying ham]

FWIW i think he finds a home. GWS, GC, Ess, Adel, Port spring to mind for needing a defensive midfielder. And i think that is where he will play, rolling more through the centre square including tagging.

 

[Moti]

Well done Froggy on a solid AFL career to date. Not surprising for mine but sad to lose a really a good contributor during the low years.

 

[trooroo4life]

Could never question his effort. His best position is still as an inside mid, and he’s not playing that role anytime soon with the midfield we have assembled.

Done a job on the wing and for the most part done it bloody well, alot better then what I personally thought he would when they first shifted him out there. His level dropped this year and probably at the worst time for him being in a contract year.

Will, I hope get another gig somewhere else. All the best Froggy.
