Delisted players who go on to have good careers

[Twodogs]

I think Craig Ellis and Keenan Reynolds were on other clubs lists before we picked them up. Brett Montgomery too.l

Todd Curley was delisted by Collingwood before playing more than 100 games for us.

Twodogs I said 'recent' haha.

That depends on how old you are. The 90s are certainly more recent than than 70s - 80s
I remember those guys above like it was yesterday.

Correct. Anytime after 1994 is recent to me.

GVG's question about whether any players delisted by the Cats have gone on to have a decent career in the last 10 years. I struggled to think of many full stop.

Joel Tippett was delisted by GC and I think he will have a decent career as a KP defender. Any other recent ones?

Pods delisted twice.

Andrew Carrazzo was delisted from the Cats rookie list.

Zac Dawson delisted by the Hawks.

Hang on where does it say 'recent'?

Second paragraph

Was Roger Merrett delisted on his way to the Bears?.

No, the Dodger was an A grader. He captained the Big V in '85 or '86. The salary cap was introduced in '87 and he ended up going to the Bears for far bigger money than Essendon could possibly fit under the cap.

Right. Well then I refer the Hounorable Member to the answer I gave in post 20!

[LostDoggy]

Gee the odds really aren't great on this one. The only one I could find was Matt Spangher, now premiership player.

2010 delisted by West Coast, before being traded from Sydney to Hawthorn in 2012 for pick 66..

It would be interesting to see a break down of raw stats for recruiting. %'s of delisted guys who make it, state leaguers, rookie list picks etc.

Tony Liberatore.
Was he traded to us by North cheaply or was he cut first? Either way he cost nothing.

Scott Wynd had a North Melbourne connection too didn't he? His brother managed a couple of games there.

Liber was cut by North. Wynd was zoned to North but something dodgy lead to North missing out. I recall hearing something around North getting the birth dates wrong.

Yep. North were out by a year on the date they had to have him signed by. He was zoned to North but they had to sign him by his 16th birthday to retain their hold on him but they thought he was turning 15. Footscray recruiting officials signed him at midnight on the day he became eligable to sign with anyone.


Scott West's back fence was the residential boundary between our zone and Esssendon's. if he'd lived one block over he would have been a Bomber.

Hamlin hopefully .. Two brownlows and three premierships and a Norm Smith medal.
