Welcome Derek Eggmolesse Smith

Sad to see him go, few deficiencies but young so could have worked on them. I suspect he would have held on had they not reduced list sizes.

Hope he finds somewhere to play and does well.

Essendon, Hawthorn, Suns, North, The Crows or Melbourne would be made to not sign him.

He‘s going to be on a list. Good luck kid, wrong club wrong time.

Should be the first delisted player signed up.

Im a bit spewing but trust the club.

That Port game was probs the killer blow for him I reckon.

Kangas might go for him after he carved them up this year.

Thought he played a couple of pretty decent games but was really found out in his last couple. It seemed a little bit like he'd lost interest. Was always going to be tough to get a regular gig in that backline though.

But that's his job FFS and it's a privileged position that so very few manage to get. Can understand if you decide that AFL footy's not the life for you n you decide to walk away n try something else in life. But simply can't be *smile* turning up to do your job on time n properly, when it's supposedly the life ambition, MEH.

The club are pretty astute these days and we needed to trim our list. As we have a number of Egg's type of player already on the books he got the short straw. Good enough player for another club to pick up and continue his development
 
Also a victim of being similar to a few other players on our list.

There must be a club who will pick him up.

Yep, tend to agree. Pretty final sort of determination on him. No suggestion of a rookie redraft.

There is a new rule (yesterday?) that players can be moved directly from the main list to the rookie list, avoiding doing it via the draft.
That Eggs wasn't shifted to the rookie list is a clear statement
