What is the story with Brent Guerra?
He was a fairly regular player for us last year, then he disappeared.

Did he get delisted, want to leave, traded etc.

I don't know what the story is.

Can someone help me out?

Thats what I thought was the case which is stupid by St.Kilda not to offer him up for a trade, some one would have taken him for a late pick surely.

I don't think the Saints wanted to de-list anyone else to use a late pick on. I think he was one of the ones that made room for the new draftees.

How do you know we didn't?

The clubs most likely to take him had the early picks in the PSD so I'm not surprised they didn't trade for him.

That's what I heard as well. He wasn't to be delisted but the afl rules says you have to delist at least 3 players, unlucky.

Well we got rid of 5 players, so we obviously could've kept Guerra.

Delisted: Nick Stone, Dylan Pfitzner, Brent Guerra
Retired: Austin Jones, Luke Penny

There's no difference in retiring or delisting when it comes to those rules, so we could've kept him.
 
I'm sure he would have been traded had there been any interest.

Hawthorn had an early pick in the pre-season draft and were confident that he'd slip through.

He's played one good game in the NAB Cup. I hope this isn't the start of Guerra hysteria everytime he plays well. He was happy to pick players off but when it was time for him to win the hard ball he was more concerned with playing for a free kick. If he transition from forward to defender is successful just give the Hawks credit. He's hardly going to be the difference between success and no success.
