News Farewell Scully, KMarshall, Narkle, FEvans, Clurey

[dirty2]

**** being a key forward in the reserve's... Your on a hiding to nothing.

Think he did well considering we were shit.

 

[Port2Power]

I checked Scully's instagram as soon as the club released the delistings and it shows he's following the Carlton football club... a bit strange all of a sudden

Always had a soft spot for Tommy Clurey, so how does a Magpie B & F in 2024 gets shown the door about two weeks after award night?

A B&F at SANFL level is just that- it is a level below AFL. Tom has been a good solid defender at AFL level but his best days are gone. With likes of Aliir, Zerk Thatcher, Burton, Logan Evans, Williams and Ratugolea above him in the pecking order Tom was only ever going to be a depth player from here onwards.

Thanks Tom Clurey for 124 solid games, sorry to see you go.

Im annoyed at the decision both Scully and Marshall are project players 3-4 years. Late picks like these two need time to develop.

I would be happy if the club delisted them next year if they showed the same progress or went backwards in terms of output.

McEntee very lucky to survive didn't feature in any of our finals

I am disappointed that we didn't persevere with Scully but Kyle Marshall is no surprise. McEntee still has a year to go on contract whereas Marshall, Francis Evans, Narkle and Scully are out of contract. I suspect that these guys were not expecting a contract extension.

I am not surprised by any of these delistings as we need to make room for those traded in and whoever we pick up in the Draft.

 

[Portology]

If someone signs Clurey as a DFA, do we still have to pay out his full contract, or would we only pay the difference (if any) between what we owed him and what his new club is offering?

Given "[he] has decided to" you'd hope the new club has to take on all the $!

I think - if he doesn't get an offer we pay him out for next year (or re-rookie him??) anyway.

 

[Abraham Nuscrack]

tell us more....

I just know a local SAAFL club is throwing serious coin at him & have confidence in their ability to have him next yr

 

[raptalia]

At least Hugh Jackson is hanging on.

I was hoping Scully would get another chance as he showed a bit as a second ruck.

Kyle Marshall was always a project but just didn't show enough development I guess. I thought he might get another year.

Yes, Hugh Jackson showed a bit until he was injured. Hopefully we see him on the park next year.

 

[PowerLil]

Someone (can't remember who) wrote that Scully would likely be delisted if Hinkley wasn't remaining. Anyone write that?

 

[jakey]

Evans and Narkle were preferred over McEntee as we got deeper into the season. Statistically and subjectively both were better in their time on ground. But hey some ****wit gave Jed a 2 year contract.

 

[PatientMental]

Not surprised about any of the delistings

Disappointed we didn't pay mcentee out too and keep a scully, but it must flag a desire to go to the draft for talls.

Atkins took one of their jobs, I'd be filthy

 

[backtozero]

What sets McEntee apart from Narkle and Evans? **** all. I would have kept the other two before him.

 

[danman69]

Someone (can't remember who) wrote that Scully would likely be delisted if Hinkley wasn't remaining. Anyone write that?

Was probably the chewman but he will backtrack on that statement when Hinkley remains

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Evans and Narkle were preferred over McEntee as we got deeper into the season. Statistically and subjectively both were better in their time on ground. But hey some ****wit gave Jed a 2 year contract.

B-but Chad Cornes said McEntee is s-such a c-coachable player with his l-little blocks and p-pressure.

 

[Butters and Pepper]

I hope we select Scully in the rookie draft.

 

[agmsy]

Given "[he] has decided to" you'd hope the new club has to take on all the $!

I think - if he doesn't get an offer we pay him out for next year (or re-rookie him??) anyway.

If it was a done deal - if another club was happy to pick up his entire salary for 2025 - I don't understand why we didn't just send him to that club for a nothing trade like Clurey + a fifth rounder for someone else's fifth rounder.

What sets McEntee apart from Narkle and Evans? **** all. I would have kept the other two before him.

None of these blokes is good enough and none is the difference between winning a flag and not. We're not going to lose a grand final because McEntee is in our 22/23 instead of Evans or Narkle, but the latter two are free to delist this year.

 

[danman69]

Great call by the club getting rid of all these players.

I hope we select Scully in the rookie draft.

I hope we don't

 

[Addy23]

I checked Scully's instagram as soon as the club released the delistings and it shows he's following the Carlton football club... a bit strange all of a sudden

Probs was because he's good mates with Lemmey

 

[PortPortPort]

Bye bye Narkle. Thought he was average at best.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I hope we select Scully in the rookie draft.

Couldn't we have just moved him straight to the rookie list if we wanted to do that? I think they changed that rule.

 

[Anyonebutken]

Apparently narkle joining Fremantle anyone else heard that? good luck to him if he does

 

[JimmyBC]

Frank the Tank was one of the most perplexing listings in our history. Potato.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Someone (can't remember who) wrote that Scully would likely be delisted if Hinkley wasn't remaining. Anyone write that?

I thought it was Coobk001 but it was Scully was gone if Hinkley was staying. I might have that the wrong way round.

*Just checked and you're right, 'if Hinkley isn't retained he will be gone.'

[rogerjames]

Happy with all those. Never really rated Clurey. He was OK at his best but that didn't last long. Very disappointed in the lack of development of Scully & Marshall.

McEntee tags a midfielder or small forward/defender. That's his only role imo & it's an important one.

 

[Corby_says]

None of these players were badly treated, they did not come up to AFL standard.
McEntee is VERY VERY lucky he had a contract, PAFC made this BUNGLED decision.

 

[Rowd072]

All of these players had to go but If you are drafted as a young tall to Port and play in the Magpies, your chances of developing and playing regular senior games is very unlikely.
