Freo delist 5

[sabre_ac]

I realise we have a sticky but this is a pretty dramatic development that is sure to create allot of discussion.

Walker, Collard, Mourish, Hadrill and Dunn

Collard and Mourish were on the list for one year, Collard showed promising sign's for the first half ot the season.

Dunn when fit looked good too and I thought did enough in the final game of the season to warrant a spot.

Walker was a no brainer, Hadrill is a bit strange considering how desperate we are for big bodied backmen.

Struggling to see the logic in this one...

Whaaaaat???

now this may just be speculation and well i'm hoping it is, as getting rid of mourish and collard, well they were barely givien a chance now were they, or are we going to do one of those delist, pick up the same player again jobbies?

Re: Freo axe 5

I thought Dunn would have got another year. Mourish will be picked up on the rookie list I assume if he is there. Collards attitude just wasn't right after he played his one AFL game

Re: Freo axe 5

Delistings are always subjective especially when they cut a player who you think is an up and comer.
I liked the look of Collard and would be interested in you guys opinions as to why he has been cut.

I reckon we will try and pick all three of those players back on the rookie list.

Maybe we should have a thread to congratulate & thank Grandson on a long & loyal Fremantle career. He is a life member of our club as well.

Harvs statement to the player group #2

Wont stand players who dont wanna play footy or show the committment.

Re: Freo axe 5

So if you pick up Collard and Mourish again they'll be getting double pay next year, aye?

An excellent suggestion

Who of the players delisted wasn't committed and doesn't want to play footy?

Re: Freo axe 5

With Hadrill, are we in the process of maybe grooming Campbell for that spot? as i've always thought with the glut of tall players we do have the luxury to be able to do that. walker I guess I could see coming but I always had a soft spot for him but I guess he was getting a bit long int he tooth but still .

Mourish and Collard as i've already said were never given a chance which is sad, and dunn well I can't say he was ever one of my favourites but that's definitely not to say that I didn't like him. He was just never special as bruce would say.

Overall. i'm going to have to say that although i'm dissapointed in some of their decisions. I accept that they know best and have faith that the panel has Freo's best interests in mind when they do this.

Mourish

Dutchey on Dockerlands delisting thread commented that allegedly both Sowfs and Freo were disappointed with Collards attitude in the second half.

I hadnt heard that bout me buddy Mourish. I thought from his games he just needed time and was better spent on the rookie list.

Re: Freo axe 5

Chris Bond hasn't stuffed around has he....superb move....a real wake up call for everyone on the list!

Dunn - never a fan, Dunn Nothing
Walker - past it (see tagging effort on Brent Harvey for all the evidence u need)
Haddrill - injuries got best of him
Collard - Chocalates to black & gold boiled lollies in 4 months. Likely to be relisted as rookie if available then
Mourish - See Collard
Copping - See Dunn
Rumble - See Copping

Kick me if I'm wrong but I think this gives us;

4 picks @ National Draft
1 pick @ PSD
Upgrade 1 of eitehr Smith or Foster (likely Foster)
4 new rookie selections (possible relisting of Mourish & Collard as rookies)

Re: Freo axe 5

from a rival supporters viewpoint, some of those look staggering. at this time last year, Jetta and Collard were both being talked up as similarly talented players and possible 1st round selections. surely Collard must have strayed in his committment and off-field behaviour? Mourish was always considered a left-field risk, so perhaps it's not too surprising. but to lose two of your three draftees after just 12 months is bewildering. Harves is bringing out the sledgehammer.

Saladin, I think it's something long overdue at our club. Maybe now with everyone on notice the team will understand with the CC's regime now gone the time for perform or perish has come.

Atleast neither were top nine selections like the bloke your mob recently de-listed.

Collard and Mourish.

That's pretty harsh

They are just kids who may have had trouble adapting to what is required. Perhaps more should have been done to help them - particularly as you guys pride yourselves on aboriginal relations

Doesn't have the pace off the mark.

And what about Dunn?

Re: Freo axe 5

how on earth would fremantle be able to get colalrd as a rookie, seriouslt the guy was taken #30 in the superdraft and you think he's a shot to make it to pick 6 or 7 in teh rookie draft ha. no chance, cant see it happening

 

[The Night Shift]

Lets get Drummy up and running and turn him into the full back that seems to be a good fit fo him.

I dare say it is harsh, but then perhaps both are promised rookie posies, if still around. Sometimes people need a kick in the arse...eg Crowley experienced the same thing.

Fills me with abit of intrepidation with Collard and Mourish tho.
