Is a bit of a shame, he was hard at the ball. He did not get a shot at the elite level and was his 3rd year on the list. He needed to be more patient, he is still fairly new to the game.
 
I don't get what you are implying barney

Brophy decided to go home and despite wanting to play a final game was removed from the team which brought his decision to leave that he'd already made?

Or was he simply considering returning home but then told not to play so he's decided to do it now rather than later

You seem a little antsy about something but of what I'm unsure

I think he's saying Brophy didn't quit because he got dropped on the weekend, he was picked to play but pulled out.

Considering returning home, was selected to play but then WCE "rested" Brophy to get the other dropped player back in. Monday he decides to go home.

Pretty shit if true.
 
Yes and no

Adamson was rumoured to be on a fair bit more money which wasn't an issue as cat b rookies aren't included in the salary cap but it made it problematic if we wanted to promote him

And I'm not convinced adamson is going to be anything more than a serviceable WAFL player so was never likely to play AFL anyway

These types of players play over 150 games in our side Keys.. ;)

Guessing the other dropped player has a surname named after a young farmyard animal?

These obscure drafts are experimental... some workout... a lot don't. Can't blame a young bloke for looking at his probable non AFL future and heading for the green pastures of home and family.

Good example of why there needs to be a mid season top up compensation draft for Clubs taking these chances trying to spread the AFLs gospel. Limit it to delisted vets and rookies.

I reckon C Jones would be my first pick... he'd be a better option than some of those we have at East Perth.

Jones is 33 and was a complete hack at AFL level. Wouldn't surprised if that was the most a ineffective +40 possession game ever. Also he woudn't be counted as a cat b rookie.
 
Just heard the news.
As Brophys player sponsor I would like to say all the best mate.
I understand why you left us to go back to family, and its all because of me.
I failed as a sponsor.
Till next year
 
International rookies are what, like 1/20 makes it to some extent in the league?

The majority fail.

For every Pearce Hanley there is 10 Paddy Brophys. Move on and try and source more obscure Cat B picks from within the country like Watson. He might be nothing but at least he grew up with the right shaped ball in his hand.
