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?

Surely thats it now?

Out of contract at the end of the season and on the rookie list. 6 years at the club for 41 pretty unimpressive games. Never got the pill more than 17 times in an AFL match despite playing most of it off of half back.

Don't waste any more games on him.

We'll take him at Collingwood, gutsy player in the Nathan Murphy mould.

Sadly, he was one concussion away from retirement.

Little bit of Mornington Peninsular bias mate?
