News Urquart delisted by North

[thoselionslads]

I will put my 2 bobs worth in.
Urqs in the last 18months, since he had the Big O on his knee after the hawthorn game(2009) has only strung a 5 game playing streak.Has copped one injury or another.
Was quite surprised when not picked first game after a a good NAB preseason this year after a good preseason where he improved all his times.
Once he has strung 2-3 games together was always in Werribees Best with good disposal count.
was a sub against Blues but got crook the next week and didnt train from wed and so back too the magoos.
IMO deservers another chance somewhere.

Any idea why he got cut with a year to go?

Quite highly rated a couple of years ago, makes me suspicious that they wouldn't see out his contract..

Urquhart hasn't been the same since injuring a knee early in 2010, but prior to that had impressed plenty of judges with his run and clean disposal off half-back........... ...........shown at least some signs at senior level, and having already been through the system, know what is required. Would they be any more a gamble for a club than a lower-round national draft pick out of the under 18s who may or may not be capable of translating junior success into something more substantial in the adult football world?
