Prediction Who gets picked up as a Delisted Free Agent?

[Madrooster1964]

Richie Douglas caught up with Alistair Clarkson in Adelaide yesterday - playing or non playing role? He might have one more year left - but cant see where he would fit for the Hawks?

 

[coniglio_number1]

Keegan brooksby is probably the best non afl listed ruck available at this stage. I wouldn’t be against picking him up if mummy doesn’t play on as a mature back up to Jacobs

 

[Scotland]

What's the go with Broadbent? Injured? s**t? Really fell out of favour. When Port were good he was a real weapon.

Injuries and mental health battles IIRC.

A 1 wk ankle turned into 18 mth ankle has lost abit of pace but is still a very smart footballer and nice kick. Was out for a month or so this yr with mental health problem.

Non-playing you'd think...But you never know.

Have a feeling someone will pick up Bennell and try to get him right.

Good luck to them. We couldn't get him right. :-(

 

[halfback dasher]

Want Brand now that we let Dougal go.

Was seen in Syd

 

[Jez1974]

The key thing to watch for the next month. Be interesting to see who clubs think are good enough to get a crack elsewhere.

Names that come to mind:

Harley Bennell -> Sydney sounds like a lock.
Chris Masten's been linked to a couple of clubs (though maybe more likely as a rookie?)
Lions might get rid of a few handy names, think Josh Walker, Ben Keays, Sam Skinner and perhaps Nick Robertson.
Wylie Buzza could be a handy depth KPP for another club, ditto Lachie Henderson (assuming he gets delisted)
Riley Knight and Sam Gray's statuses are still up in the air, though it sounds like they're more likely to re-sign now.
If Jay Kennedy-Harris and Billy Stretch get delisted could see them garnering some interest?
Connor Menadue had a bit of interest early doors and it doesn't sound like he'll get another deal at Richmond.
Brandon White, James Rose and Jack Trengove I think of guys that could do something at another club.
There's a couple of clubs that sorely lack experienced ruck depth too though I have NFI who the best options are in that regard (more likely state leaguers?).

Anyone I'm forgetting?

Masto to Freo would be huge!

If he had one good year left, it would have been nice if he used it this year.

A great bloke by all reports, so I wiah him well

 

[Thetrader15]

I'd be keen on Roberton at the Crows. Hopefully Nicks knows the value of a tagger and gives him a go.

Crows fans have been screaming out for one for the last 5 years

Bennell linked to Geelong according to CH7.

Tom Browne though.....

I've put it out there before, but will reiterate that there are three main factors in the Harley decision:

a) watertight medical team
b) established club culture, mature playing group
c) genuine need for them to take such a risk

Based on this I've reasoned it will be Geelong, Sydney or Hawthorn. I think elsewhere would be not really worth the risk for player, club or both.

Yep. Good call.

 

[Barunga Bullet]

Newnes wont be getting a game so he should go to a lesser club like Fremantle

fremantle a lesser club than the Saints?

Dayle Garlett says cross out Hawthorn.

Option D) Listen to Dayle Garlett.

Right.

 

[King_Tredrea]

We’ve pretty much forced ourselves into a position where we have to take a Buzza/Brand/Walker type

well, we're out....except for the need part.

2 games in 5 years, worth a punt like Stevens!

 

[Jez1974]

fremantle a lesser club than the Saints?

Yes, especially after this trade period. Hill gone Langdon gone

 

[Jez1974]

2 Games in 5 or 6 years!! Worth a punt like Jack Stevens!!

 

[Mikevk123]

Bennell to cats
Newnes to blues
Buzza to Port
Walker to Hawks
Murray to dees/Tigers
Brand to Swans

Dayle Garlett says cross out Hawthorn.

Actually he’s a perfect example of a player was given the opportunity, went off the rails. His behaviour had no impact on the club or playing group, who went on to win the flag that year.

That situation is exactly why the Hawks would be confident. Or are you suggesting that he picked up all his bad habits from living with Luke Hodge?
