Delisted # 8: Martin Gleeson - Not offered a contract, finishes his Essendon career on 97 AFL games

[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Not offered another contract in 2022
Last Game Played: Elimination Final, 2021
Injury Status: n/a

 

[Nifft]

He might get the extra year now, depending on what happens over trade time.

You wouldn't think they could cut too many more considering we have 3 draft picks.

Well that isn't strictly speaking true. We have 3 good picks.

[JT_the_Man]

Was pretty good for a while there.

All the best with what comes next Marty.

 

[eth-dog]

Not overly surprising. Cheers Marty Party

 

[andleanback]

Congrats on the career Marty. Hopefully he doesn’t have any really talented kids that play football in a couple of decades time

 

[Ambrosia]

Probably should have gotten him to 100 games given FS requirements.

 

[Runk]

That ankle injury….

Thanks so much Marty

 

[andleanback]

Probably should have gotten him to 100 games given FS requirements.

Would be pretty hard considering we weren’t a bottom team

 

[Haychh]

Injury came at the worst time possible. Broke out at the back end of the previous season and never came close to finding that form again. Comes across as a ripping bloke, all the best for the future Marty Party

 

[The Donners]

Good footballer. Always physically too small for AFL.

 

[bomberman500]

Probably should have gotten him to 100 games given FS requirements.

Bet Marty Gleeson jr wins 3 Brownlows for someone like Hawthorn

 

[The Donners]

Opening up a rookie spot for Rance?

 

[Chief Hopper]

So long Marty.
Enjoy the sleep ins, beers and pizza

 

[Dave]

All the best Marty!!

No more party = me sad

 

[eth-dog]

Also me:

 

[Beerfish]

The Marty Party is over.

 

[Zach Package]

One of my all time favourites, was on the verge of becoming a serious footballer before that ankle kinda derailed him and he fell behind a couple.

Serious, like Jake Lever

without the attitude and the stupid facial hair serious.


1000% should be on a list next year somewhere.

[Old Campaigner]

Knightmare will probably burn down the Holden Center if the Pies don't pick him up as a DFA

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Had the perfect physique for tennis. Chose the wrong sport.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

I thought he could still fill a whole purely as a depth player.

 

[brain taylor]

Serious, like Jake Lever without the attitude and the stupid facial hair serious

bad call tbh Lever has a fairly standard, sensible "dad in a sweater reading the paper at breakfast" moustache which is fine

 

[ant555]

Gave it his all .Well done Marty G .
