Players you are surprised are still on an AFL list

2016 premiership star Joel Hamling will be going around AGAIN next season.

He's played 6 games since 2019.

Can you name all 4 clubs he's played for??
Geelong (VFL), Footscray (VFL), Peel (WAFL), Sydney (VFL).

At AFL level: Western Bullödogs, Fremantle. Was only listed at Geelong and Sydney, but didn't play for them. But perhaps he plays games for Sydney next year.
 
Btw. looks like Lachlan Keeffe is getting a rookie lifeline.

He has been named here each year for quite a few years now...

The Swans had a shocking run post bye with several players injured on the side line or serving suspension (Mills, Papley, Parker, McInernary, McCartin etc). He did not manage to crack a game at that time, with even the likes of Francis and Ladhams getting picked. Makes you wonder why Horse and the Club actually picked him in the first place. Perhaps there as a mentor in the VFL for the kids?

Perhaps. In hindsight he probably would have played games for Freo this season.

But those games into Draper are probably more valuable for us in the future anyway.
 
I know he’s just been delisted but I can’t believe Braydon Preuss was still on a list, not only that I could not believe he is only 29! Looks like he’s going on 40


Being 206cm is his superpower.

Granted he had that two year doping suspension, but imagine suggesting in 2017 or 18 that Keeffe’s career would outlast Dustin Martin’s despite being drafted one year earlier

Saw Darcy Tucker's name listed by Fox Sports in North Melbourne's best 22 and did a double take.
Edit: He actually played 23 games last year, and is lining up for his 150th in round 1. WTF.
Edit 2: Out of curiosity I went on the Roos board, searched his name, and their supporters are showering him with plaudits on how great a recruit he has been. I must be living in a parallel universe.

Is he going to be there for your next premiership tilt? If the answer is no you should be getting games into the young guys IMO.
I think North and pretty much every other club have shown that just pumping every kid into every game is a bad idea. You do need some senior guys to guide or protect them a little, even if you know they wont be there long term.
