Past #15: Paul Ahern - delisted after 24 NM games/6 NM goals - thanks Pauly

[Caracas]

and even most of those stats in the second half when it didn't matter

I’ve been watching “Dark” on Netflix lately. It’s got me thinking. Was that Paul Ahern, who looked like a future AA against West Coast a couple of years ago, from “Martha’s World”, while the present Paul Ahern is from the “Origin World” or vice versa? It’s the only thing that makes any sort of sense.

Someone ****ed up something quantum and we've somehow jumped universes.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Glad we have him every chance to prove himself.

His shithouse moustache is as bad as his football.

 

[Johnny99]

Lazy and a squib.

For those 2 reasons I would delist.

Just not prepared to put the hard work in, to make it at AFL level.

Some of his efforts this year have been embarrassing.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Gone.

Shame as he showed a bit early.

 

[SammyRoo]

Was a genuinely highly skilled player but it’s vanished. Sad

 

[Fish Sticks]

I would be amazed if he is on our list next year....
A relative fall from grace considering how he burst onto the scene as a fat kid racking up touches against the eventual premier.
Most here had him penned in for a 10 year career, including myself.
He looks slow, reactive & almost disinterested. What a shame!

 

[giantroo]

Has been delisted - Thanks for the memories Pauly especially that WC game.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Shame it didn't turn out. Feel it was too much to overcome those knee injuries.

We'll always have the west coast game.

Best of luck in the future Paul

 

[tazaa]

Good luck in the EDFL Paul. Will dominate there. Just wasnt up to the aerobic requirements of AFL football.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Unbelievable, what a fall from 2 years ago when he debuted.

All the best Paul hope you get another shot at it somewhere.

 

[DrZaius]

Had such high hopes for Paul, sad to see him go but you can't say we didn't get him opportunity.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Best of luck Paul.

 

[sutcliffe's hotel]

Go well Paul & thanks for giving it another crack with us.

 

[Go_Roos!]

Good luck Paul

 

[muttley45]

Good luck Paul in your future endeavours.

Looked to have the class we were crying out for. Clearly the double knee just a bridge too far.

Fair bit more to his delisting than his knees mate.

 

[DuckYeah]

He can go and eat as many pies as he likes now

 

[RossHenshaw]

Good bye Pauly , thanks for the memories. So excited when he came to our club , looked like the player we always needed. Played some good games including that famous WC game . I still remember that period when he was travelling really well & was dropped surprisingly by Brad Scott & did not play / pick for ages . That really shot his confidence big time & looking back he has never recovered since .
such a shame ,

 

[shinboner magic]

Cheers and good luck with the future Paul

I mean that he never got back to his explosiveness he had prior to being drafted. He looked a quick jet prior to being drafted. Never ever got back to that level.

Went back to page #65.

My word.

No he didn't but even so there were other unrelated flaws. He had to go and I wish him well.

What were the flaws? Work ethic? That’s heresay only isn’t it?
