Gone.

Wow I though he looked good!

Flat. Rated him.

 

[cs61]

Surprised. Had a look all pre season. Showed some signs in both games; and we let him go. Confused about that.

I wonder if it was a choice between elevating CJ from Cat B and giving Minch the spot?

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

The club don't trust his body. Only real explanation as to why we have made this call. Bloke is AFL ready for the exact role we lack. Or we think Burgoyne and Ollie plus Poppy up there is enough.

Shouldn't have been - we could have elevated CJ by putting Impey on the Long Term Injury list.

And Breust.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Surprised by that

[VandoHawk]

Looked really good in the preseason games. Thought he would be firming for round 1. Also played a position we were weak in and had a skillset we were lacking (pace/speed). Perplexing decision but I suppose his body let him down too many times.

Mid-Season Delidio...

Who was it saying that was a thing a couple of weeks back?

It's not, a thing?

To be honest, i like the call on Michington. I think he had huge question marks over his repeat injuries. Looked a talent, but plagued by injuries. Poor bloke.

Who was the other guy we were looking at that went back to work?

Injury prone 32 yr old for a injury prone mid 20s .. i hope not ...

 

[Nick the Pig]

Feel sorry for the bloke. From the outside seemed to be ticking the right boxes in at last getting his body right and a R1 spot looked like it was his for the taking.

I'd like to know the club's reasoning whether they maybe thought the hammies were simply too big a risk or thought he just wasnt good enough. He didn't look out of his depth albeit not a world beater. It's not like we are overflowing with small forward options

As someone else mentioned, maybe Burger's bag sealed his fate?

I hear you but why not just cut him for good at the end of last season instead of letting him bust his arse trying to prove his fitness. Just seems odd timing

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

What is odd to me is that he played last week and did quite well by all accounts and still got the chop.

Would like to know what he needed to do in that game to get a gig on the list otherwise why play him last week?

Weird.

 

[tige19]

Bizarre, we lack any resemblance of adequate pressure small forwards with goal sense

I'm sure they gave him an honest chance. They wouldn't play games with him. Maybe his injury late last year, plus maybe not ticking all the boxes that Clarkson wanted. He appeared serviceable, without being amazing.

Good on him for pushing hard for the spot.

 

[SuperSic]

It’s perplexing to me that he finally showed us what we’ve been waiting to see and then we cut him. Makes you wonder what the club was looking for in the first place. Perhaps he had another injury setback.

Maybe he had another injury. Or maybe he didn't do enough. Might have knocked on the door rather than smashing it in, to sealed his place. Kicked two goals in the second half of match in which Burgers snagged a lazy three.

I'm sure all will become clear.
