Thanks for the memories Bish, you have served the club well, no where near as bad as some people make out.

Spot on mate. Enjoy your retirement Bish at least no one can take that medallion off you, and many of us will never forget that audacious bounce and carry in the back pocket of the GF, something that many people said was a crucial turning point in the match as well. I have bagged you a million times, and I know many bagged you as well for what appeared half-hearted attempts in some games. You were probably giving it your best short and for that, bravo Bish. Notwithstanding all the criticism I have contributed to as well, I still respect you for your contribution during your tenure at the club.
 
depending on how things go, maybe they will pick Ezard back up in the PSD?

How many picks do each club get in the PSD?

Sorry but where have I bagged Bishop in the past? Fact not fiction please.

Why the hell are they delisting Ezard??? Surely there are others that could of been shown the door.

Lets hope that they dont screw up with the draft.

Maybe they are sending a message to him. Wouldn't surprise if we re-draft him or rookie-list him to give him more time to show something. The OP didn't help, but hope the young man keeps his head up.

Edit: someone beat me to it, lol

Shaz do a search for posts on the Port board with the word "Bishop" in them going back over the past couple of seasons. Just because a couple of people posted nothing but vitriol* about him does not mean that the large majority ignored the fact that he played very very well for our club from 2001 - 2004.

*And I use the word deliberately ;)
 
And how is this the right time to bag the guy? This is a time to reflect on his CAREER, not the last year or 2 when he was on the slide as a player.
 
Ezard was unluky with injury but hes a tough little nut. I hope we re-draft him seing as we will have 2 picks in the PSD if we de-list Ware.
 
Sounds like the club back themselves to rookie list Ezard maybe.

No other club showed interest in Ezard before we drafted him, you may recall.

I have better things to do with my time then sit here and go through your posts for the last two seasons... but you HAVE bagged out the bloke whether it be in face to face convo or on the boards.

If making up stories makes you feel better go right ahead.

Finally. The Powers that be have actually got rid of Bishop.

Now, all you hyprocites. WE HAVE ALL BEEN BAGGING OUT BISHOP ALL SEASON. Troy posts what everyone has been saying and he gets bagged for it.

Stand up and have some balls.... post what you have all been saying during the season.

Fine, he was good in our premiership year but went down hill from there. The axe has been swung and I for one couldnt be happy and Im sure that others will agree.

Perhaps people want to show a bit of respect for a player who's career at our club is now over and who was a very important part of our premiership success.............

Bagging him now is like bagging someone at their funeral and not showing them the respect they deserve at the end................:thumbsd:
 
Bishop - whilst he was piss poor towards end of last year and even more so this year was very important in 2002 - 2004. Never forget his handball to himself in the back pocket at the MCG in the Grand final - top stuff...

Thanks for the service Bish - Right decision by the club..

Ezard -- mm tough call but not a bad one IMO

I know the question is rhetorical. But NO he did NOT. I agree the decision may be wrong, but I think they are sending a message to the kid and then re-draft him or rookie-list him. We have done that before with some players including Kingas (re-drafting not rooking) and he had a very good year after that.

if thornton is still around PSD at our pick - any chance you reckon?

Thornton was pussyfooting around, just re-signed with the Blues for 3 long years at the bottom.

Apparently James Ezard will not be offered a new contract either according to Channel 9 News Sports report.

That I'm not happy about.
What about Port delist Ezard, essondon get him for free psd, leave Russell alone. Another meolbourne club get Bishop for next year. Is it possible?

Hmm.

So we didn't get anyone new in, and have now delisted Bishop.

Which means we were retaining Bishop in case we traded another defensive option away.

Which means we were considering trading one of Chaplin, Pettigrew or Carlile.

I think we may have dodged a bullet in this trade week.

If this article is correct we were never going to trade Chaplin or Pettigrew
http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,20554302-21543,00.html
But Port yesterday repeatedly told its AFL rivals it would not trade any of defender Troy Chaplin, midfielder Steven Salopek, utility Michael Pettigrew, or forward Damon White.

It begs the question, if this is THE superdraft - is there any place for re-cycling players?

My 2 memories of Bish, in the GF - thinking "don't f**k it up!!" and he didn't. Also, when he played for Melbourne - in a trial game at Alberton, collecting the ball on the HB line - and going for a dash thru' the centre. Ran smack into Pooley. Flat on his back, didn't play first 6 rounds?

Like his career, highlights and then st*ff-ups:o
