Genuinely surprised that he stuck it out with footy the last couple years and hasn’t chased the $$$ punting in the US.

I just hoping the Dess follow through in their plan to give Tom Campbell a year.
The guy is a fringe Hall of Famer

What's going on with Jack Gunston?
Just signed 5 year deal!!!
Yeah, I get that. I had him in my dreamteam and found his 1st quarters always outscored his next three quarters.

Duryea is a funny one, he has been a bit like that since before we let him go. Would lose a yard and finish the year looking cooked, but then come back the next year become dependable again. Must be incredibly driven, 200 game player now. Unless something goes really wrong next season will play 100 games at both clubs as well. Gotta respect that.

Agreed. When we listed him I thought he was awful. Another example of how little I know…
There's a guy who looked all the world to be a 250-game half-back with All-Australian potential, only to fizzle after his first few seasons.
What happened? Was it just injury?
Duryea does three things right:
1) Willing to play anywhere on the field
2) Willing to accept that he is the 22nd or 23rd player picked and not sook about it
3) Cheap.
Honestly, that is invaluable in the modern high-rotation salary capped game. Extended Zac Tuohy's career by a year or two.

Injuries didn't help, but he was also a bit of a one-trick pony. He didn't offer all that much outside of his kicking.
Are you saying The Cannon was made of glass?
Love your username. Great television.
Played som good footy for Port. Lot of injuries in the last couple,of seasons.
Lachy Keefe still to go on for another year
Somebody at Port Adelaide handed Tom Clurey a three year extension in 2022. He has played one game since and will be listed again in 2025

Back up ruck has to be the easiest of AFL roles to get a long career in.
And they always seem to be good blokes too.

Was neck and neck with the entire Richmond team for Brownlow votes for most of the season in his defence
Edit: ah yes, makes sense now

About a month behind the times but just randomly saw McKenzie retired. Can’t believe he was still around.
I think he’d just about be the most consistent long kick ever. In those early years at the Suns he would just flush them 70-80m every time.
I wonder if he’s considering the NFL.
