    His work ethic has been questioned.

    He's been committed to stand trial, I believe in March 2013.. His management have said he still wants to play AFL, in SA.

    Or lay no defensive pressure in our forward 50. Jurrah's defensive efforts make Gia and Higgins look like Jude Bolton by comparison.

    Sorry you're right. I just noticed the post immediately before Happy Days' which was about Jurrah.

    I also vote 'no' to Petterd. As HD mentioned, can't kick and is terribly inconsistent. Also injury prone and doesn't involve himself in the game often enough - he drifts in and out of games too much for my liking.

    That was for Pettard not Jurrah. No one wants Jurrah.

    Edit: Ahhhh page 2. Yeah was just interested in what happened to Jurrah with the trial, definitely don't want him!

    Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

    From the Bombers web site:
    Appeared to be cementing a position in the side after he played seven consecutive games for the Bombers in the middle of the year, but after twisting his knee in round 19 against Collingwood, Prismall underwent a second knee reconstruction, having had one on his other knee in 2008. The midfielder, who is capable of accumulating possessions, is expected to be back playing by mid-year.

    Stats Ave/Game:

    Kicks 10.7
    Marks 4.8
    H.Ball 9.2
    Dis 19.9
    Goals 0.4

    Doesn't set the world on fire. The knees reco would have taken off some pace if he any.

    From what I remember he's always been an in and under type player and was never that quick anyway.

    Draft or just give this position to a rookie, signing Prismall is pointless.

    I still reckon we are stacking the list with players who may not take us to a premiership, but are there to basically 'set the tone' for the young kids with talent who will.
