Past #31: Cameron Delaney - selected by Geelong with pick 34 in 2014 Rookie Draft - delisted end '16

[Egga]

Stood next to him last night (as you may have, too). He's certainly tall enough to be a KPD, but still a bit on the 'lean' side. If he adds a bit more muscle, he may well become the one who can play on the gorilla forwards in coming years.

Yes, I don't think he's ever going to be massive, but he's very athletic. More Jake Carlisle than Brian Lake.

He also has a very small head.

 

[rippersnipper]

I really misread the new subtitle, as in "he has just cut is toe off" rather than "we should just cut his toe off"

I did the same thing hahaha

 

[DarkPhoenix]

+1 for coming in thinking he'd lost a toe in a freak lawnmower accident.

Speaking of small heads, let's hope Super Cam > Super Gav. At the moment, there's only a short half head in it.

 

[Bigeasy]

I like the look of him, always have. Made a couple of threads about him over the last two seasons talking him up and that turned out well.

This pre-season I'm not saying a word, for Cam's sake.

 

[KillaKanga]

As per new subtitle





Is it Gav or Cam on the right?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Has a good looking missus.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

I'm tipping he'll take Grima's spot when he gets an injury free run at it!

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Delisted.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

what the actual *?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

I don't think he ail get retained on the rookie list by the sounds of the comments from walsh either?

 

[boneofshin]

Will be re-rookied. It makes sense really.

 

[Saintly31]

Probably fair enough.

Can't carry broken down players forever, especially when we are already carrying others.

Unlucky that never got a decent run at it, might get a rookie chance to keep the door ajar.

Usually they give a good indication that they will be retained on the rookie list in the finalising statements. Doesn't seem that way with Cam.

Can't believe they would retain McMahon over Delaney.

This has me suprised. I know he has struggled with injury but we have given players like Grima and Tarrant ample time and stuck with them..He has talent.. His attitude not right?

 

[boneofshin]

From the AFL article:

"It's understood that the Kangaroos intend to re-draft Delaney in the rookie draft in December."

Why?

We do need depth that can actually turn up if and when required.

Curran and Delaney were always likely to be delisted from main list, and fair enough despite being unlucky concerning their injuries.

Cool.

thats good, didn't say anything about it in the NMFC article.

For some reason his name isn't in the Contracts thread, but I remember him being on a long deal, to the end of 2015 or possibly even 2016? In any case, with his horrid run with injury, retaining him as a rookie is a good move in my opinion. Tippett deserves to be ahead of him at this point.

He's off the list because he's been cut but you're right, he was contracted for another year.

 

[B-Rock]

It's Joel Perry all over again...

 

[Maddox]

Somewhat surprising but fair enough if we're going to retain him as a rookie. See if he can get himself right next season.

 

[koshari]

how does the rookie and PSD work, could other teams claim players delisted with the intention to pick them back up?

There is a kind of gentlemen's agreement whereby when clubs flag that they intend on rookieing their own delisted player that the other clubs let them through.
