Freo delist 5

[Bradesmaen]

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

Agreed. If he can get a bit of bulk, he has great speed, height, hands and feet. He is a perfect CHB if he can get some bulk and I think Harvey sees that in him.

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

If u guys can turn around his attitude...good luck

Why would the 14 teams based outside of WA want to pick up a guy who couldn't adjust to life as an AFL footballer in his home town?

 

[Kenny_01]

Good move but personally I would have delisted Browne before Clayton.

 

[Modra93]

because he has talent and would be definetly worth a shot on teh rookie list at any club if he was a potential first rounder in last years superdraft

 

[KING-JAMES]

Pretty shocked at this. He must have Major issues to have been cut that way. Definetely not a talent issue. I would take him at essendon providing he got over this problems quick smart, and it could have been the wake up call he needed, but then again he could just be a bad egg.

 

[saladin]

essendon might take a punt on collard at #55 or thereabouts in the ND. especially if he expresses an interest in playing with jetta/ryder etc. in a weak draft, might be worth the risk.

Copping gone you beauty!!

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

Do you think that this would be the main reason for his delisting? Cannot be a talent issue. Very shocked he has been delisted.

 

[Lach72]

Well...dramatic is the word...

Webster and Browne stay, hey?
Who woulda thunk it?

Bit surprised Collard is gone, but attitude musta stunk

 

[Plugga]

??? about what???

Harvey/Bond et al know what they're doing....relax.

Saying that...Browne/Webster very lucky

 

[Dyslexic Emo]

Does anyone think that this might be a ploy/distraction and will allow us to pick up the players that WE wanted in the pre season draft ie Keps? and by throwing these names up it will obviously raise the eyebrows of a few teams looing for a cheap, possibly quality pick up (and with their reputaiton ie: Collard/Mourish from last years draft) Other teams might look over some players whom we have our eyes on and as such will let them slide and pick up our delisted players thus leaving the ones we want for us.

Anyone think there may be some validity to that or am i just creating conspiracy theories here?

 

[that_dood]

From AFL website:

"The club is also seeking permission from the AFL for Collard, Mourish and Dunn to commence pre-season training with Fremantle."

I can see you guys picking up those blokes pre-season.

 

[Budda 230]

It's ok to get the sledge hammer out, but seriously they have targetted the wrong people.

I can't understand why we delisted so many players. Elevating Foster and 3 picks in the ND meant we only needed to delist 3 players (Cookie retired frees up 1 spot).
From all reports this is not a deep draft and surely Collard or Dunn are better than any kid we would get with our 4th pick 56.
Haddrill and again Collard and Dunn are better than any of the players that would be left in the PSD especially since we only have Pick 6.
I would of let Walker, Webster and Mourish go and then get Mourish in the rookie draft. There is a slight chance Mourish might get picked up by another club by the time we have our pick but Collard and Dunn probably will.

Then why are they asking for permission to have him train with us?

Same goes for Mourish and Dunn.

The "attitude" justification is a cop out.

These guys seem to have been cut because the club is hoping to get their development done on the rookie list instead of the main list. It might just work out well for us. I hope they are not taking too big a gamble in predicting other teams selections.

I find Haddrill's delisting a bit annoying. We now a big bodied fullback in the draft.

 

[Lach72]

Kepler ****ing Bradley

We obviously need forward depth

 

[JuddyisGod]

I would've thought a few of those blokes could've been thrown up in a trade for a pick or two during trade week.

They better hope it turns out that way, if that's what they're doing...

Thin draft could mean we're grasping at straws when these boys come up for selection

 

[Bradesmaen]

The attitude thing isn't a copout. Think about it, we say to them "Get your act together before you play for us" and put them on the Rookie list where they won't get a game till an injury hits.

It's a well-placed kick up the backside for these young blokes.

We will probably re-draft them later on, but the club is telling them they ARE expendable if their attitude does not change.

They might get picked up by another club before we get the chance. Then good luck to them if that happens. All the best. But if they are not picked up by another club they will be redrafted by us, given a lifeline, and told to work their arses off in the pre-season.

A good move by the club IMHO.

 

[Slacker]

Well said nodgey.

 

[dont bowl there]

Pretty upset over the Sir Robert delisting, I cant see how he wasnt worth one more year on the list. If he had a full pre-season he could have been our answer down back. Now we have to look at drafting quick mids and a big bodied backman. Easy.
