Player Watch #39: Finnbar 'Moose' Maley

[zoomba23]

Don't be surprised if he's not on it.

The club is openly engaging in satire if this happens. Surely not. Surely not

 

[Masked Avenger]

Won't matter if he doesn't get a new contract.

I can think of a few other players whose contract he can have.

 

[Chadwiko]

Finn will be back in 2025, I'd wager.

 

[koshari]

Cos we rather waste a game on Drury and pink who have no upside

Instead of pump a game into a talented player which could have helped boost his preseason

The amount of games this year wasted on pink over Finnbar was ridiculous

Because that worked so well for Sellers.

 

[Its a Process]

I had him down for a 2yr contract - unless he’s a hopeless runner but he’s shown plenty at VFL level in a position we are very weak in

 

[RossHenshaw]

If we are relying on this back yard suburban footballer to come good ….?
Oh boy we are in a world of pain ..‍♂

 

[Only Forwards]

Bring in a raw 20 year old tall, and cut him after a year. After showing progress in the VFL
Would be nuts

Finnbar is 24.

This lists him at an approprate size for AFL football.

I am unsure why he never got a gig through the last month.

He's 20 how do people still fall for the incorrect birthday on footywire, if you looked at it for second you'd realise it says he's born on the first of January 2000. Check the club website

 

[Chadwiko]

Finn was born July 2003.

He's 21.

Finnbar was 20 when we picked him up, but hadn't been involved in any high performance programs coming through. Only started to take footy seriously over the previous 12 months, so still needed a fair bit of skill and game sense development. But with his natural athleticism, he's the type you give 2/3 years to see what he can become.

 

[Ligma]

sorry what did rosshenshaw say?

 

[susurrar]

jeez, thats worrying. GR doesnt make posts like that willy-nilly.

he looks like a special talent to me.

 

[shinboner magic]

True. Probably enhanced his chances by not playing.

Think Harvey went past Drury by not playing today

That’s a crazy birth date to have.

Finn will be back in 2025, I'd wager.

I'd wager that you'd get a return on that wager, Chadstone.

I am very reliably informed that Finnbar was out last night enjoying a few quiet ales with friends. I just spoke to a young man (let's call him TOD Jr) who had a long chat with him. Far be it for me to undermine the word of the great and deservedly venerated giantroo, whose mail can usually be taken away and converted into one of those cryptocurrencies that dramatically increases in value every nanosecond, but he could be a tad off the mark here. Although to be fair, gr didn't actually indicate that his word was coming direct from inside the scrotal walls, it could have simply been his own take.

But let's just say that if Finnbar were to be cut, I can guarantee that it would most certainly come as a massive, MASSIVE shock to quite a few people, most pointedly to Finnbar himself. It would be completely out of leftfield (not to mention a certified campaigner's act) given that he has been informed regularly throughout the season, and even recently, that the club is rapt with his development and the improvement he has shown, and they have assured him that there will be a spot on the list for him beyond this year. And as recently as last night he was very relaxed and confident that the club was true to its word on all of the above.

So I think for the moment, those of us that still want to see him on the list next year can all probably relax a little, too.

(P.S. Sorry, gr. This one aside, I still bow to your general greatness.)

 

[DarkPhoenix]

TOD vs. GR fight?

Heck yea.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

Happy to be wrong on this one if that is the case. I posted what I did because he was telling some people that he hadn't received any indication or a contract just two weeks ago. If that has changed, I'm happy to cop the X.

And good to have you back TOD.

You could honestly pick up Mjölnir GR, we are not worthy of you.

 

[Mixed Results]

It's almost impossible to imagine the club looking at Maley's potential and then deciding that they're happy to stick with the CCJ and Teakle combination.

 

[Masked Avenger]

If we don't give him a contract, and given his strong VFL form, hard to think what more we expected him to do this year.

 

[The Big O]

Well glad he didn't play instead of Teakles, we may have lost by more if we didn't have Teakles one kick and one handball.
If i had played today I'd have had 2 less disposals than Teakles. It is art work above my comprehension how you can avoid being where the ball is for 120 minutes.

FMD, FML and FFS

oh well

I had 2 effective spoils and a handball sitting behind the goals. May poll in the bnf.

Based off that he'll get a late contract. A lot would be up in their air with our need for more senior players, two MSD picks needing permanent spots and not knowing our list size for 2025.
