Player Watch Will Hamill

How many delisted rookies go on to have good careers?

James Podsiadly has the distinction of being delisted twice (Ess, Coll) as an AFL listed rookie in his early 20s before having a short but spectacular 100 game career in his late 20s/early 30s.

But your point is very well made, history shows by overwhelming numbers that players who are delisted as rookies are finished.

Hugh Greenwood the only current one, I think.

Hugh Greenwood the only current one, I think.

Greenwoods career has been average at best.

Even at his peak when he was still with the crows he went missing in action for large periods of most games. Did some very flashy things and tackled like a maniac.. but not much else.

Very average player.

Don’t reckon he got fully fit in terms of the role that he was best at

Maybe we are just grooming him to become a coach in 2025 a la McPherson?
