Rowan Powell has retired due to concussion issues. All the best to him and hope he stays around the club in some capacity.

Thats a shame, but his health must come first. It was a sickening collision with Maxxy, so not surprised he has made this decision. A quality player and bloke.

Mate Subi just won a flag....very very comfortably....without AJ or a designated ruck....against a side with the best ruckman going around......so I think Subi will adapt and adjust.....LOL......as for Dela....the lure of a 4th or 5th flag might encourage the big fella to go round again in 2022......
 

Will be number 6 for Dela if he goes again Freezin, already has 2014, 2015,2018,2019 and 2021. Been a great asset to Subi since coming from Frankston and hope he goes around again, but he is 31 now and not looking to get his body beaten up too much more! 
Not sure we can say we won the flag comfortably either! 

Della could play as a foward pocket for a couple of seasons, promise him a bonus if he kicks sixty goals. He came here as a forward, it must be rememberred; should he play in the goal square, in fact, Sokol could be played as a leading forward.

Yeah true Jim....40 odd points definitely would of  got a few Subi fans pacemakers out of sync on GF day......don't begrudge Subi success at all....after 50 +  years of pain before 73 and from 74 - 84...Subi were the proverbial WAFL chopping block.....

If we can get a genuine experience ruckman, I'd play Dela on a wing and let him run and do what he does. he still has a massive tank and would be hard to match up on in that role.
On AJ, i'd be surprised if he doesn't look for another team as his opportunities at the Ferals have been limited. I believe he spent much of the second half of the season in the 2's so is clearly not seen as a first 22 option at EP.

Ainsworth has signed with perth

Bugger...that's disappointing. 

Apparently a 3 year deal with the D's. Disappointing he's not coming back to his club of origin but I wish him well at Perth, he will be very good for them. I could be nasty and say he wanted to make sure he could have his holidays in September but that would make me sound like dearly departed STT 

Bad for us, but good for the comp. Good luck to Perth and Ainsworth.
