Duplicate....

Good luck to Bear. Will remain an unfulfilled talent from my perspective. Hopefully he gets another chance elsewhere, maybe even our VFL squad.

Nah, I'm not on board with delisting Sier; totally unnecessary.
We haven't enough strong bodied mids on the list, even allowing for Lippy.
He deserved at least one year under McFly to see if he could recapture the form which brought him to senior selection in 2018.

So you reward a player with another contract when he hasn’t done anything in the last two years?

Better off selecting Constable as a DFA replacement for Sier. Similar player but more committed to the cause and squeezed out due to depth at cats. Also given Taylor Adams year by year propensity to miss 5-7 games with leg issues, may be valuable in protecting the less hardened bodies of our youth.

I sympathise with your view Dyso old son, but in all honesty, Sier has had 5 yrs to show that he is committed enough to become an AFL player. Macrae, Poulter, McCreery, Henry and Bianco showed more commitment in one year than the Bear did in 5yrs. It's a shame, but that's how it is.

truth!

I like the look of constable and I agree with keeping Sier for another year under a different coach could have turned him around, but che sera sera

[jackcass]

Hmmmm, nothing I've seen of the guy suggests Constable is in any way an upgrade on Sier. And he's slow which is the last thing we need in our midfield.

no tank. never bothered to get one. Cost us the 2018 grand final. No coach can fix that.

I’m reminded of the days when Chrissy Tarrant seemed more interested in his off-season surfing trips than footy

Sad to see him gone.

Always hoped he would take the next step after his breakout 2018 form.

I am sure he will get picked up elsewhere though.

I know what you are saying, but...
Let's at least acknowledge there have been much fewer VFL games played from 2020-2021, for obvious reasons.
So I think this is the variable where I give him the benefit of the doubt - how was he suppose to improve his tank when he couldn't run the vehicle?
All VFL players in that boat; thrown to the wolves at AFL level for last two seasons due to tight scheduling in 2020, and expected to step up to AFL standard without being able to grind out their fitness in the reserves.
And you can only amass so much fitness at training, the rest needs to be on the field at either level, week in week out.

So yes, I thought a one year contract was going to happen for him, based on his size, ability, and that word - potential.
I expected McFly to sit him down and say 2022 is your make or break year.

Tarrant had more talent his his little finger than this bloke ever did; worse first pick ever

Hine strikes again; not Sier's fault he got taken at that pick...

[Lazza]

The usual thing where perceived potential does not match actual achievement. Harsh to blame Hine for Sier being a lazy kid who wasn’t prepared to put in the work needed to play at AFL level. More fool Sier.
