Wayde Skipper Delisted

[Testekill]

I don't know why either, he had a reasonable year with Hawthorn and I'd say that he's better than Taylor and Renouf are.

Taylor also got delisted and he is not better the Renouf (and by a long way), he played a bit part when they were desperate but is still just a hacker and they have Hale, Renouf, Bailey and a couple of young guys, he would be 4th or 5th bananna again this year and is not good enough to keep on a list.

I've heard that up to 3 clubs have been in touch with him & it was a mutual decision to part way with the Hawks.

The new Interchange rule will benefit Skip as he can play forward & give the ruckman a chop out.

Might be a useful backup option for the GC...

 

[DoggyStyle]

Best time in the history of the AFL to be delisted. Good Luck Skip

This exactly, except I heard 4 clubs.

Hope he gets another chance, deserves another shot. Good guy off-field by all accounts.

 

[always right]

Funny as I heard Hawks Footy manager on SEN state that one of the major reasons Skip was delisted is the impact of the new interchange rules. Hawthorn clearly had him well down the pecking order when it comes to ruckmaen on their list who can play in other positions.

Substitute Skipper hey?

No, not as a sub, more someone who can go forward rather than resting on the bench. Gives midfielders more of a breather.

 

[Fossie 32]

Bad luck, good to see other clubs are interested

 

[BWFC]

Any chance we are one of the four?

 

[Simon_Nesbit]

I been led to believe Skipper had an offer to "go west" during trade week, and we agreed to let him go to ND to pursue that option. I presume that if no-one selects him we might pick him up in the rookie draft.

 

[BWFC]

Go west .. omg Skipper is coming back!!! wow people are going to be soooo excited around here!!

 

[charcoalchicken]

Surprised I thought Skipper had a pretty solid season for the Hawks.

He is - he's a top bloke - I wish him all the best.

He did, but other clubs noticed that and offered him a regular gig. Thus, he asked to be delisted.
