Delisted #15: Courtenay Dempsey - Delisted - 28/10

[efcboy]

I don't understand what is wrong here. He is allowed to have a view (or share someone elses). Oh hang on, his view might very slightly disagree with some people. Nah that's a good enough reason to get rid of him. FFS, jump on board this as a reason to get rid of him. Any outlet you guys have. Maybe he is right. #classy

He's been very poor onfield for years now and is not a team player. This is merely just another nail in his coffin for delisting.

It is not even a tack let alone a nail

 

[ezard15]

what did he say? Actually let me guess. the booing?

 

[ezard15]

I think the real issue in that tweet is not Dempsey sticking up for his mate - fair enough I can understand that no one would like their friends being booed by thousands of people.

No the real issue is this line: "former player who dominated the ruck while playing for the dons" - at what stage did said domination occur. Ryder played for us for like 10 years and didn't manage a single all australian and probably only had one consistent year which was his final year. Many of the other years he was somewhere around a top 10 ruckman in the comp if not lower, hardly dominant.

As for Dempsey - I can't see why he would be in our plans going forward regardless of what he says. He's an old and inconsistent performer. Play him if it suits us due to who we have available but otherwise he will probably be delisted/moved on via free agency at the end of the season. I can't see Dempsey being one of the senior guys we want to keep to lead the youngsters going forward being not only a fringe player but one who has been regularly criticised for turning up to preseason training in less than ideal condition. That said he has been a good player for us over the journey, at his best was a pretty good HBF'er, his best years were probably under Knights and his gameplan.

It will be interesting come selection time next week because by all accounts he had a very good game in the VFL.

Same - i only take issue with the word 'dominated'

Didn't have a problem with the rest of it.

He said nothing AFAIK. He retweeted something in defense of Ryder and criticising supporters abd people have assumed it's because he supports the view of the tweet.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

I want him gone not because of the tweet but because for a players hes a player whos had offield issues (drinking while recovering from injury, ect) and been droped multiple times for not doing the team things.

He adds nothing to us now. Brownes taken his spot. Get us a comp pick and be done with him

 

[Darealrath]

We won't get a compo pick. He's not best 22 and if anyone picks him up it won't be big $ or long-term.

 

[Towno78]

Booing is s**t. Dempsey saying so is not a big deal.
Anyone having a problem with him saying such or of the belief the club would even raise an eyebrow at the tweet are clueless.
He may or may not be at essendon next year, but either way this is a non event.

Just seems like an opportunity to kick a man while he's down.

 

[Kakkle]

Settle down guys.


It's great that he is responding to everyone on twitter as well.

@woodstar75 it wasn't an accident though. I did try it and it just came off sweet.

@gail_unco23 @woodstar75 I believe the 4 goals were a fluke I think.

@danofage well it is up to the club to want me now more then it is my decision lol

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

I do like that. Interesting club thinks they can get more out of him in a more attacking role.

 

[yaco55]

Much ado about nothing - All dempsey has done is retweeted a common-sense post.

Would have been better to have more than 23,000 at the game.

Booing is childish.

I remember last year thompson wanted him to lock down his man in defence first and foremost, so bit of a change on the face of it

You can follow it here or ask him something yourself!

It's a fair question Dempsey asks? Where's the respect (for Ryder)?
The answer is - the respect he earnt has gone, gone with his refusing to cooperate with the club's need to get a fair trade for him by being willing to go to more than just one club, gone with his manager's disregard for the club's preparation for a final, gone with his allowing his manager to (falsely?) cite the supplement saga as the reason for him going, gone with his allowing his manager to bargain by threatening the club with a breach of duty of care to get out of his contract.
Respect is earnt, and Paddy earn respect as a player, then lost it with the way he handled his departure.

@Naetum15 U stated on Instagram about your feelings on Hird in relation to your Father. You feel Hird is terribly misunderstood externally?

Courtenay Dempsey ‏@Naetum15 3h3 hours ago
@ScooterMcNeice yeah definitely mate.

 

[DonsRule]

Been a great effort from him. Been very open and honest I think

 

[DonsRule]

 

[Bennett.]

Seems like a good guy. We should pick him up I reckon...

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

If he does go I hope there is no bad blood between him and the club always liked Demps.
