The Rejects 22

[Two Eyes]

Was speculating on the strongest team of 22 players that could made up of players who were de-listed by at least one club and then picked up by another and still on an AFL list.

Players who were traded, even for nominal late pick are not eligible (e.g. Stephen King).

Are there enough players to make a team of 22?

David Rodan, Brent Guerra, Zac Dawson, Jason Roe, Danny Meyers, Kepler Bradley, Leigh Brown, Anthony Corrie, Chris Bryan, Cameron Cloke, are players who come immediately to mind.

Here is potential 22 to get us started.


B Stephen Gillham Zac Dawson Joe Patful

HB Brent Guerra Jordan Bannister Daniel Pratt

C Tom Hislop Ben Cousins David Rodan

HF Aaron Edwards Cameron Cloke Hayden Skipworth

F Chris Bryan Leigh Brown Stephen Milne

Ruck Kepler Bradley, Shane Tuck Andrew Carazzo

Int Tom Logan, David Johnson, Danny Meyers, Jason Roe


Emergencies Colm Begley, Nick Gill, Jason Davenport, Greg Bentley

 

[Rosstickle]

Ben Cousins would be captain.

 

[Bonz]

C Bolton (Sydney picked up pre season draft) (Did leave Brisbane)
B Kirk (Delisted by sydney and redrafted)
A Buchanan (Same as Kirk)
K Thornton (Did knee dropped redrafted as a rookie)

Was Nick Stevens delisted?
How about Chris Johnson, Shane O'Bree, Scott Welsh, Ben Hudson?

Hudon was a trade, not sure about O'bree. Nick Stevens is intersting. He walked out of port, which is different to being rejected by the club. They wanted him but he left them...

Just realised Corrie is not eligible. He was actually a trade for a nominal pick.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Joel Patfull.

That and the fact that he struggles to get a game for you guys.

 

[IluvHarvey]

Michael Gardiner is a candidate!

Hayden Skipworth.

Jason Porplyzia was delisted by the crows once and later re drafted by them again.

Has to be picked up by a different club. Lots of clubs de-list and then rookie or re-rookie players.

Edit:

Cam Mooney - was he traded or de-listed by North Melbourne?

He was traded as part of the Colbert deal

 

[ZedCrow]

Nick Gill

 

[jonesy86]

Lovett-Murray

 

[half_back_flank]

Josh Carr was once good

 

[darrenmorgan]

no room for tom harley?

This one is a little different as there was 1 or 2 years between this happening, most of them get delisted and drafted straight away so it counts as a list change.

As a bombers supporter i think i can safely speak for the club in saying we have no regrets letting hislop or bradley go.

And Skipworth has proved useful so far this season. Not a great pick up but not a bad one either.

This thread isn't about justifying players your team dropped or picked up.

Porps was delisted then played at West Adelaide won BnF got fit and was redrafted at least one season possibly two seaasons later, should qualify most delist/redrafting are in the same year

Hmm, that is interesting but I guess not meeting the intention of my thread.

This is more about one club seeing value in a player another club rejected. Porps may have been intially rejected by Adelaide but no other club wanted him. Likewise I'm not counting Stuart Dew as he was not de-listed by Port, he retired and then was coaxed out of retirement by the Hawks.

He was traded to Geelong for pick 37,which I think Port used to get a player named Adam Morgan

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Farren Ray off half back.

 

[hawks_time]

I'm pretty sure Steve Gilham was delisted by Port.

 

[Silvagnis]

Andrew Carrazzo was cut by the Cats.

Carrots is a better footballer than Skipworth

Chad Cornes will vote for Jordan Bannister.

What have Hislop and Meyer done to make any team?
