Prediction The next four-club player

[Daniel B]

The AFL hasn't had a four-club player since 2013 (I'll see who can name him) but there are plenty on 3. This poll contains (hopefully) all of them.

We'll check back in later down the track and see who's right.

Jed Anderson

Podsiadly? I feel like being rookie listed by 2 clubs like say Menegola doesn’t really count.

Maybe Tom Hickey could do it if NicNat stays fit, otherwise I could see Caddy moving clubs again.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Dom Tyson.

Ack didn't check that one. Unfortunately I can't delete it now...

Yeah, I always felt Caddy was a chance. There's something oddly satisfying about players who show precisely zero loyalty to a club.

Do any of their contracts end after this season?

 

[mike91]

Anyone stupid enough to take on Mav Weller?

Jarryd Lyons ?

I assume you’re not counting Jon Giles since he never played a game for Port. So it’s Ben Hudson ofc

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Also I think it’s interesting how many of the names in the poll were at some stage at the expansion clubs. Shows the extent to which expansion has stunted development in some of the players unlucky enough to be drafted to GWS and GC.

Anyway I hope it’s Jared Polec. I hope he goes to a fourth state in the process.

Harsh on GWS. Their development has been excellent but they have drafted more players than anyone else. Not too many have been potatoes at GWS then guns elsewhere.

I reckon Preuss will end up joining Collingwood to play behind Grundy before deciding on club #4.

 

[Gaben]

Josh Caddy will chase a pension when Richmond bottom out.

What an absolute crock of s**t this is.

Caddy was going fine at Gold Coast before he jumped down to Geelong, Tyson just wasn't quite up to AFL standard wherever he's been and ditto Weller. Hombsch was at the Giants a grand total of one year as an 18y.o. key defender before Port got him across.

I could see all of Tyson, Henderson, Polec or Caddy moving to a 4th club. If I were pressed to choose one I’m taking Caddy because he’ll do it on his terms. Polec could do it on his terms, but I reckon his moves have been right place right time.

FWIW even though it would be the shock of a lifetime for him to move again Mumford is currently at his 3rd club.

Jed Anderson

About as likely as Tom Mitchell or Jaeger O'Meara.

 

[Shadow89]

Lachie Henderson the most likely, IMO

Probably not as likely as it’s Jed’s 3rd club already!

Not really, he's only ever been on 2 clubs lists.

He was a pre-listed zone player and was on traded as soon as he was prelisted.

In a similar criteria, Jaeger O'Meara and Jessie Hogan are also at their 3rd clubs....

How so? Melbourne and GC traded for mini draft picks so those two were never pre-listed.

All 3 of them never set foot in GWS as AFL players, all 3 of them were never officially on GWS' list.


Jamie Elliott is not a GWS player.

Andrew Krakouer is not a Gold Coast player.

 

[captain cotch 9]

I could see the Hawks getting him

Only Anderson of that group was pre-listed and he played with the club (he represented GWS at TAC cup level) so was very much in their system. It’s a pointless discussion though so I’m not particularly fussed with the criteria applied.

 

[innocentsmiles]

Wasn't John Simpkin on four lists? Didn't play a game for Sydney but was on their main list in 2007 (rookie list in 06), played 4 games for both Cats and Essendon with 33 at the Hawks.

Both Elliott and Krakeour were pre-listed GWS players and traded, along with other guys like Cam Richardson who was prelisted by GC...

I don't consider the u/18 GWS side part of the team, just like I don't consider an Academy kid part of that AFL club.

So Dylan Shiel never played at GWS either?
