Past #24: Sam Durdin - delisted after 21 NM games/1 NM goal - thanks Durds (drafted by Carlton in '22 MSD)

[the flying ham]

How's the people on here querying why we kept him. Seriously. 1st round kp prospect, takes time to develop. Number of injuries, some of them season ending. Grow a brain

The injuries came at a bad time for him. Would be great if he became the player he was drafted to be.

Or, alternatively, they came at the best possible time. Last season in contract, team struggling with KPPs, a couple of serious injuries - *lightbulb* move it or lose it, Durds.

 

[Johnny99]

Why is he still on the list??

Because we are the "Public Service" of the AFL.....Once you get on the list, its impossible to get sacked....

Unless you are a league games record holder, most talented player on the list and still running rings around everyone

 

[Themanbun]

Surely he has enough of a brain to open food packaging without hurting himself?

I received serious burns to my fingers opening a packet of microwave soup, so I'm not going to throw stones.

Still ate the soup.

Still ate the soup.

And burned the roof of your mouth, too?

As an aside, we'd all recover from burns much quicker if the rest of our bodies were made of the same skin as the roof of our mouths. It feels funny for a few hours, then it's all good.

But I suppose it's the same sort of thing as saying all aeroplanes should be made out of the material that they use to make the black box.

Perhaps the harsh delisting of Neilson has people questioning why Durdin has been afforded more time to get it together.

Not that I think he should be delisted.

Same guy who didn't want Larkey to play last Friday due to stats from a game in 2017.

Yeah that is a fair call, however I do think Durdin has showed much more at VFL and didn't look out of place when having a run in the ones.

Because last year he and Mckay towelled up most VFL forwards.

Instead of growing a brain maybe some should watch some footy instead basing player quality on BF comments!
Durdin needs consistent AFL games, like McKay

 

[Val Keating]

Q2 - Sam Durdin continues to assert this authority on the game.

The key defender continues to win contested battles for the footy, taking several strong grabs in this quarter.


Good Durds

Let's hope it's a case of 'big men take time.'

[Steele7]

Looks Angry. Hope he has taken his angry pills.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Rip em apart like a food packet Sammy.

 

[GS WARRIORS]

Good luck. Please do a 2018 Jed on us.

Hopefully Sam takes his chance here. It maybe his last to show he belongs on an AFL list.

We so need a key defender and it would be good if we haven't wasted a 1st rounder on jim.

I almost took the end off my finger when cutting open a bread roll so I feel his pain.

How does it happen? In my case, genetics.

My dad had a chainsaw jar out of his hand and instinctively tried to catch it. It went as well as you might think...

 

[giantroo]

Come on Durds. Give us something today.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Is it just me or does he have really short arms?

 

[nicko74]

Thought he was ok. Underdone by his own admission

Good signs today.Be a good matchup for some of the Sydney forwards, like Dawson.. Give Thommo [or someone else] a rest next week.

No future. Is a panic merchant
