Fair enough too. You cant be that stupid and then be kept on the list.
Then again, we held onto JT, even though it was a slightly different situation. _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |

Bye bye. He came to the club (2017) hot on Josh Thomas coming back from a two year drug ban (2015-16), and didn't pay attention. Big lesson for everyone at the club.

Baffling. Why hold onto him this long then drop him just before the prelim? I assume he as good mates at the club. Blows my mind. _________________ The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after. |

Maybe he asked? We don't know the conversation he had with the club. Honestly, Noble plays a similar role and has better skills. |

Well that was a 2018 second round pick gone begging.
I thought he showed something in his short playing time here. But why the heck would you do a few lines? And on game day?

Duty of care perhaps. Workcover? It will be something to do with welfare methinks. _________________ Get back on top. |

Exactly. I'm sick of saying it to everyone for the last 12 months. We signed him to a 2 year contract. Unless he breaches that or agrees to step down, then we have to keep him on the list for the full 2 years.
Any violation of that would be unfair dismissal and a violation of his workplace rights.
Until a few weeks ago, he had not been found guilty of anything. He was awaiting his chance to have his case heard which is his right. Now that it has been resolved, the club is free to move him on.
(And would have been free to move him on anyway had it dragged out further as his contract would expire end of October) |

I agree with this. Weird decision, exacerbated by the fact that I really thought he’d get another chance. And if not, why announce it now and not after the season with the rest of the delistings, so as to avoid it being a distraction to other players? I can only imagine there’s something going on behind the scenes (e.g. he’s specifically asked for this to be public because he wants to make it clear to other clubs that he’s on the table). _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Back in August just gone he posted a pic of himself working out in a gym somewhere. So apparently he was perhaps thinking of a return to playing with the Pies.

As I recall, at the time he got busted he had been pretty well worked out by opposition clubs. His burst out of defence was routinely being shut down and he was forced to make panicked kicks to no advantage. Maybe if he hadn't got busted and had continued to play he might have developed another dimension to his one dimensional game. |

I reckon the arrival and success of our number 49 -John (the Flash) Noble sounded the end of mr Murray. Similar players except the latest model can kick _________________ Painful frustrating disappointing exhilarating and unbelievably awesome. - That's a Collingwood life through and through |

And if Noble breaks down we can rob spare parts from his twin brother. |

Your post explains why we didn’t delist him earlier, and thanks for that. It doesn’t explain why we’re delisting him while our campaign is still alive and not when the rest of the list turnover happens. It seems like we’re singling him out. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Yes, a drug ban is... Which until a few weeks ago hadn't happened, he'd accepted a provisional suspension which is NOT a drug ban and is not enough to terminate a contract. It's provisional until the final ruling, which until then he was not found guilty of anything.
We have this thing in Australia, called "innocent until proven guilty" and it applies in not only society but workplace as well. It's no different to a policeman, or a truck driver or any other profession. If they return a positive sample they are immediatley stood down on a provisional suspension pending the outcome of an investigation and/or follow up test (In Sam's case, the results of the B-Sample which is his right to request, and ASADA hearing.)
