Thats odd considering he played a handful of games at WAFL level and never seen again after contracting Glandular fever.I know a family member of Alec, and she says his heart bleeds Blue and Gold, and questioned his early years on our list as a commitment as a in between the ears, maturity thing.
yeah but Alec was delisted 4 years ago. Feel like thats way too long to be out of the gameEverywhere I have read is that a delisted player is an unrestricted free agent . Alec was delisted .
This has been raised before. Can’t we simply select him for free as a delisted free agent if he agrees? Or has it been too long between drinks?
Didn't we do something similar with Keegan Brooksby? Nominated for the draft, then withdrew his nomination as he was eligible for the ssp as a previously delisted player.I thought everyone who had even nominated before was a free agent. It seemed like they were moving to the NBA-type model where you have a “draft class” which basically distributes the top-end talent, and anyone who goes undrafted can go wherever they want.
I was bummed out when he got hit with his illness and still hold out hope he puts on the Eagles jumper.Alec Waterman played well against Beagles in the final last year . Pity we took Treacy and not Alec in hindsight . In the recent Final against SF Alec looked Zippy fast even chasing down Rioli . He has a booming left foot . Has a good leap , good hands , good ball sense and is involved in lots of contests , hence 4 Goals . Definitely deserves a spot on our list above Treacy and Reid . Could be a better fwd than Ah Chee , around his level I would say atm .
It does say delisted "that year " . The SSP last year was a different thing altogether .Players delisted by a club are unrestricted free agents but a player who retires or delists himself is not eligible to be a free agent.
Can someone just tweet at Ryan Daniels to confirm?
He's the only reporter worth hearing from.

She seems to think once he contracted glandular fever it affected his confidence on his own ability to come back.Thats odd considering he played a handful of games at WAFL level and never seen again after contracting Glandular fever.
