I went to a Carlton v Collingwood game once with friends and Simpson got absolutely murdered by Sharrod Wellingham. Was a huge hit and Simpson was in a bad way. Very brave for a scrawny bloke.

Port Adelaide tells four players, including Wylie Buzza and Brodie Grundy's brother Riley, they'll be delisted before the end of the home-and-away-season. Plus Jake Patmore and Martin Frederick told they can leave the AFL bubble and stop training because they won't get a game.
Interesting. Do we expect to do something similar with players? Doesn't seem Bevo's style to send guys home.
It is strange to boot players when your still in finals it can upset the playing group, why Port would do that is beyond me unless they weren’t pulling their weight.
Luke is big on team mantra and he has pointed out we are ahappy group and looking to go places so I wouldn’t imagine it happening until after finals.
But in saying this we are in a different climate this year than any other.
I would say they’ve done it so those players can get out of the hub and move on. If the players would prefer to live si to no restrictions then they’re better off knowing now.
Also means the remaining playing group has effectively been told "we want you here and think you can play a part" which could be great for the group mindset. I think the players are pretty realistic and wouldn't take the departure as an insult and if anything not keeping guys there unnecessarily is going to be viewed favourably, especially when you consider they've been away from home and family and friends for months now so why make them continue with the sacrifice when it's for nothing.
Given the time of year and what's at stake you'd want your reduced coaching pool to be focused too.
If these blokes aren't getting a game this year focus your attention on those you might need I guess
North have just let go a whole heap of players.
Unsure what happened to Sam Durdin, he did look ok as a key defender.

It's official, the Daw is closed!
Pittard has fallen from grace quickly. Wood looked like he was going to be a star a few years ago. Ahern was a high draft pick that didn't have much luck with injury. Quite a few players that were pretty good at one time in their careers.
Thought Mason Wood was going to be a player
Very deep cut from North
Surprised that theyve gone quite that deep - thought Ahern and Pittard would have stayed on and probably Hosie/Murphy
There’s still so many bad players left too.
