Players you are surprised are still on an AFL list

[GhostofJimJess]

Yep I’m surprised he’s not gone after 1 year

Maybe move it to the "Played One Year Too Many" thread then

 

[Jez1974]

Surely Trent McKenzie dominates this thread

Just retired!!

 

[Soggy2112]

Just retired!!

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

 

[Jez1974]

Didn’t he just turn up

Would have gone OK and only playing few minutes a game!!

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.

 

[HeHateMe]

As a dogs member who goes to all games, I thought Duryea was cooked at the end of last season.

This year however, he has been utterly solid and dependable. Lost a yard of pace, but still can be relied on to do his job.

Plenty of other of Bevo’s ‘faves’ that grind my gears, but not Duryea.

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…

Tom Campbell is back!

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.
