Players you are surprised are still on an AFL list

[The 747]

All those ex-Geelong players - Horlin-Smith, Thurlow, Walker, Vardy, Murdoch, Mumford etc

Clubs should be very wary of picking up anyone we let go willingly.

You can add Willie Buzza to that list too

Is Mark Blake still available somewhere?

 

[GhostofJimJess]

Say what you want about Vardy but his contribution in 2018 was invaluable

Nah, don't get me wrong. To me this thread is not necessarily about blokes on lists because they're duds. I reckon it's more about blokes who have been around a long time but have been off the radar.

 

[Righteo]

Ben Reid - what in the actual hell ?!

Looked and played like a 45yo

****, even I forgot he was on an AFL list

 

[Hamingja]

Saw a bit of the Adelaide game last night and thought it was a bloody long time ago now when Seedsman was kicking around the Harp with Dayne Beams and crew.

Dean Gore , lol .

I enjoyed watching Vardy at Geelong, in fact he kicked the first goal under lights at Kardinia Park. I was glad to see him not only play pretty well in the grand final, but to win a flag as well

Fair call, he's probably done with us by the end of this season, unless they ditch Hickey instead. He'd still be third option behind Naitanui and our new boy Bailey Williams

And guys you've just plain forgotten about. I mean Lynden Dunn is a decent enough player but hasn't played since Rd 15 2018 (a couple of ACLs) and is 33 years old. I'm sure there are people who didn't know he is still on a list. If not for the fact that he got a call up the other week I doubt anyone would know that Keegan Brooksby is on his 3rd AFL list.

If there were VFL this year Brooksby would be the second player ever to compete in the WAFL, SANFL, NEAFL and VFL seniors. You know who the first was?

Giles?

 

[eth-dog]

Giles?

Yep. Drafted mature age out of the SANFL, played NEAFL for the Giants, VFL for Essendon and obviously WAFL with whoever you were associated with at the time.

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Tim Broomhead I actually thought he was delisted. Can't believe he is still around.

chalk that one up to "his surname never sounds like it will be called by a commentator enthusiastically". BROOMHEAD!!!!!!!!!! Yeah nah not gonna happen. Same as Gumbleton.

 

[jc37]

Dayne Beams has done some excellent finger painting this year.

His Girlfriend let everyone know

Dean Gore , lol .

Hardly let him go. Demanded Dangerfield in return

I wasn't having a dig at you ... just more so laughing at how much everyone from the Crows rating him as a significant part of the trade .

Is Dan Menzel still floating about at Sydney? Injured I'm guessing.

Delisted last year

And injured again in the SANFL. Broken foot this time, not a knee.

Minch has been riddled with injury most of his career, kudos for his perseverance, yet another 'Hawks project player' - and to be blunt, I've really no idea why our club recruit all the 'Humpty Dumptys' going around - won't be long before we start sourcing random blokes surviving car accidents; "You play footy mate?', "oh good, rightio just sign here"....

The Hawks could've taken Darcy Cassar and maybe a young tall instead of Michington and Brooksby.

Coulda/woulda/shoulda, Minch had just turned 24 when delisted by the Saints and picked up by the Hawks. He was a exceptional junior and only ended up sliding down to pick 65 in the 2012 rookie draft due to guess what - niggling injuries at the time...

Hope we've learnt our lesson after Smedts and Lang.
