Delisted #19: Kobe Mutch - Not offered a contract for 2021

[Schnitzengruben]

Not even close. Ham is younger and better.

Ham has some ok skills but his body needs at least 2-3 more years of investment/development at the minimum to be AFL size, and even then, he'd still always be light framed with t-rex arms. We don't have a shortage of them.

I don't get the affinity with Ham, what is it?

I don't get the affinity with Ham, what is it?

Well, he isn't consistently injured, he's a better kick, he finds the ball more, he has actual pace. Like he is literally the first player cut.

Nuh, Begley

Nuh, Begley

Well if it is Begley then he's second, even though he's first.

mortadella, prosciutto, pastrami, pancetta, etc. etc.
it's all quite delicious.

For the record, I'd like Kobe to be given another year, he has attributes associated to today's game. I don't see it happening which is a shame because he has a unique size and endurance we don't have an abundance of on the list.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Except being able to find the pill a bit, he has no AFL attributes and even then he doesn’t find it in any useful position. What is his position? General midfielder that doesn’t win it well or use it creatively? No one needs that player at AFL level. Farewell game maybe this week.

we could/should be playing a fair few of them this week

He is an elite endurance runner, can find the ball at ease.

Yeah but he’s so slow. He’ll consistently get to every contest in the game behind 5 other people.

Its easy to see why he is more than likely going to be delisted, I'm suggesting he offers a bit more than what he is credited for

 

[eth-dog]

How many non-KPP's play 5 games in 4 years and don't get cut?

Come on mate, Essendon are the kings of holding players for longer than they are needed

You're the one advocating we keep him.

I think he offers less than he’s been credited for. We need to get back to being simplistic. Break football down into ability to win the ball in the contest, use it proactively, consistently get to contests quickly to out number and defend the ground. I’d don’t think he offers anything of note for any of those categories.

nuh, I said I would like to see him given one more year but it is easy to see why he is likely to be delisted.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Not good enough unfortunately. All the best.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Rewatch the Pies as to why Ham deserves another year.

Jeez those numbers don't look good for Kobe, or any player for that matter.

I really feel for him because he was developing quite nicely before he basically got struck by an avalanche of consecutive unrelated injuries much like Laverde has been.

In his first couple of games he had it 20 odd times and looked the part, but for me he’s the first one on the block just by sheer lack of an outstanding attribute. At least with Begley you see a fridge that can run and kick ball busters and with Gown you see a key forward with a bit of agility and toe.

Yeah he was the one that sprang to mind. Doubt Kobe gets a fifth year especially with list cuts.

He definitely had something about him early days, remember him copping a couple of big hits and getting back up like it was nothing. But there's just not really a case to keep him going forward. Unlucky to an extent but that's professional football I guess.

Thanks for the reminder...but it was more like 4 games in 5 years.
