I understand your point completely and agree with you. I like Urquhart and would love to see him at our club, but him returning home to QLD, is not going to turn him into a star player, we may get some improvement, especially after being delisted, but he'll be the same player who has struggling for games at the Roos.
However, there are some good stories of players getting a second chance and being serviceable/potential list cloggers...
Danny Stanley
Joel Patfull
Tom Logan
Ed Curnow
Kepler Bradley
Simon Buckley
David rodan
Zac dawson
There are a lot more failed stories, than winners, but if the list management team think that Urquhart is a better player than any player we could get late in the draft or in the rookie draft then we'll probably see him on our list.

I think he is worth rolling the dice on, a PSD or even rookie pick is worth it for him he is a very capable player if he gets fit. Like CMT26 said above there are a number of success stories when it comes to recycling players, Nick Lower this year is a good example.

When you get delisted by the kangaroos, that's sending a clear message that your not up to it. Focus efforts on mcaffer.

Yeah he was on Port Adelaide's senior list, but he was delisted at the end of 2010 and came good for Freo and I bet that mid way through the year Port were regretting that decision.
The Jpod spent time on Collingwood and Essendons rookie lists before he got a chance at senior level

Would rather Macaffer but he'd definitely add some depth. If we can't get Macaffer then PSD would be worthwhile I reckon.

So, Brad Scott labels him as a 'required player' going into trade week and then delists him straight afterwards? Man, I'm tired of the shennanigans that go on at trade time...
FWIW I think that we should have a good look at him. He'll come cheap and at least we know that he understands the requirements of an AFL club. That puts him in front of a lot of similiar aged rookie prospects.

Someone can correct me here, but I think it was last season that Scott called Urquhart a required player? Unless he said it before this trade period as well?

A week is a long time in Football, a Season is an eternity. A player could easy be 'required' and wanted one year, but on the nose by the following offseason.

Brad Scott only required him for one season.

With such a shallow draft this season then we might as well have a go at picking him up with a late pick. The question is then purely is he better value than the 18/19 yo kids left and my answer is yes he would be better than what would be left by the end of the 3rd round.

Lions should pick up Gavin, great value and as mentioned most of the $$ covered by North.
Brisbane local with tremendous upside. Upgrade on guys like Raines, Hawksley etc.

Can a club continue to pay another player's salary if a trade is not involved? Not sure I can recall a situation where a draftee is still paid by the club that delisted him once he has been re-drafted by another club. It could happen, I suppose. It just seems unusual.

Delisted while on contract is a nice word for "sacked". If he isn't drafted by another club then North are obliged to payout his contract. If he is drafted then he shouldn't have to take a pay cut - otherwise he'd be forced to stand out for a season to get his money.

That's the way that I think it would work. Some sort of settlement deed to allow the contract to be terminated but with any future earnings of GU (during the contract period) deducted from the amount of the financial settlement paid by North to GU.

Would be worth it then IMO.

It's happened. To us no less.
Hawthorn paid him minimum wage and we were forced to pay out the balance.

Never understood that. Surely, he had gone AWOL often enough that he could be sacked outright.It's happened. To us no less.
