Players you are surprised are still on an AFL list

[RedmanWasHere]

DeBoer definitely doesn’t fit either. Played 138 games for Freo and will probably end up playing 200 career games

4 games shy of 200 games.

 

[Scotland]

De Boer was only 26 when Freo let him go as part of the foot soldier cull.

I thought he'd bounce around as a journeyman enforcer for another 2-3 years before ultimately being delisted before age 30 and going into real estate. To see him establish himself in a quality outfit like GWS has been a pleasant surprise. Having a clearly defined role is everything for a player with his limited skill set

He's one of those guys that is AFL standard but not a difference maker. No flag side has 22 players better than him. Can see why Freo moved him and others on after a few years around the mark and needing new blood, but he could've easily stayed and been a role player in a rebuilding side rather than a contending one.

A good example of one in a rebuilding side is Ed Curnow

 

[Turnover]

13 goals in 9 games this year. We have one player that's fit and into double figures right now, and there's talk on our board about moving him to half back to find form. He walks into FF for us right now.

Ok coach.

Yep, he's a good physical presence.

Not under Lyon who seemed determined to play him as a HFF for reasons unknown.

 

[Lyttelton Ranger]

Nakia Cockatoo

He might be playing his first game in 2.5 years this week

 

[Scotland]

He might be playing his first game in 2.5 years this week

Just checked and his record is 6 games in a row. Such a shit run, I think everyone would like to see him string some games together.

 

[PowerForGood]

Not sure where you read that but it's completely false. He was sold by Liverpool back sometime around 2013. Was at a club in the Championship last season but was released and is currently a free agent

I thought so too (obviously)
Got a push notification via FotMob that he'd moved on from Liverpool on FA. Assumed he'd been on loan from the club for a while. Didn't bother to check but came through as I was reading this thread.

 

[Gavin Excell]

He might be playing his first game in 2.5 years this week

Josh Cowan lite

 

[Rich01]

He’s one player I’ve been hoping can get his body right and show us what he can do. Just not against my club.

Most people expected De Boer to become a assistant coach. He is supposed to be one of the smarter football brains going around

Sam Durdin

 

[GoalSneak38]

Absolute travesty he didn't get a gf guernsey. Phil Davis was still doing a fitness test 20 mins before the game

Davis is the epitome of selfish

 

[Toump Ass]

Today I learned Aaron Hall plays for North Melbourne.
Shaun Atley still being around is a bit of a laugh. List clogger.

 

[Scotland]

I think of Shaun Atley as a guy who has been around 3-4 years. He's from the same draft as Gaff, Darling, Tom Lynch etc. and has played 208 games.

That's me with Daniel rich. He's 30 years old.

The perennial 24 year old “youth player”.

 

[eth-dog]

Michael Hartley

He can play. Great kick of the ball.

 

[Falconista]

Gary Rohan. Shocked to see him still on Geelong's list and playing a lot.
An ultimate example a footballer who on paper is a star but in reality, isn't quite.

Good club man too it seems
