Retired 14. Liam Jones

[gab213]

Because we burn bridges over trivial things?

Because the club including Voss has moved on and stated as much. I wouldn't call any of it 'trivial' at all.

Moved on for the moment. I would hope that if Liam wanted to return to the AFL next year that we would put ourselves at the front of the que.

Yea
With that premier at the helm, hell will freeze over first.

No chance. Reading between the lines its pretty clear the club don't want him back.

go into the draft like everyone else? If so, we’d have a 1 in 18 chance of drafting him and why would we? He’s 31.

As I understand it, Liam is still technically on our books because he 'retired' after final list lodgement date. So, if things do change (either Vax not required, or Liam got vaxxed), and if he wanted to return, we could either delist him to be a FA, or we could trade him, or he could not extend contract and go into draft/preseason draft and take his chances.

Best case scenario for us is we can get a draft pick - remotely possible but unlikely. I don't see Liam back at CFC.

Some think he's a messiah. Would rather look at other clubs for tall options / draft a young KPD, look at how well Gibcus has slotted in @ Tigers.

And if that's the case i'm truly sickened by the Club's approach.

Well he did put his team mates at higher risk by refusing to be vaccinated. One of which was battling cancer at the time.

 

[forever blue 1]

Craig Bradley played till he was 56 years old
That’s another career man

 

[Casual_Observer]

He's back! Will he be named for this weekend?

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

He's back! Will he be named for this weekend?

Not sure if serious or not.

We have moved on from Jones at any rate, he is a former listed player, hoping we get a compo pick from the AFL once he signs with * (not counting it though)

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Nice to see Liam kick on...4th in the 'scrays B&F and winner of their most courageous award.

What could have been.

Liam only has himself to blame.

Hated the way that the AFL handled that whole saga.

 

[james Dean]

Still don't understand why he couldn't have just been stood down until the vaccine mandate was lifted. It was always going to be temporary anyway.

In fairness, he's moved on.
I'm not sure any blame is required.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Because there was blood in the water. The AFL didn't want players stood down, they wanted them compliant or gone.

 

[mickelboy182]

Regardless of his views, he's not a premiership quality defender in any case. Nothing to be upset about.

Debatable, worse players than him have won flags but ultimately irrelevant.
He made his choice, the world goes on.

100% he's good enough to play in a premiership team...

Billy Frampton anyone?

Sure, if you want to be extremely literal.

What I meant is he is not a needle mover.

I took what you said at face value, yes.
I'll filter appropriately in future..

Not many KPD are. We already have ours which is more than many sides have.

But it's funny that we're looking for a Liam type to this day.

McGovern was always going down back because of his health.

That would have freed up Kemp. Probably goes forward earlier than he was forced to or gets used in that midfield role plenty have called for.

Liam may not specifically have been the needle pusher but somebody else on the list may have been in combination.

no pun intended!

Was only intended to be a little acknowledgment of a player I liked...but this is utter crap.

He's levels better than the likes of Payne, Frampton, Petty, Henry and other who have recently won flags.
