Delisting and Retirements - 2020

Re: Delisting and Retirements - 2020

He made the All Australian squad in 2016 and 2017, was actually a very very good player. Just injured at the wrong time of his career.

Will always remember him not for his searing left peg, but for the missed 50m pen in the centre of the ground with 2 minutes left in that prelim.

What if.... and that question finally went our way

Re: Delisting and Retirements - 2020

189 games is a solid return - pretty harsh assessment of his career in some quarters.
Will always be bewildered at why his dad was allowed to get a job with GWS though.

There might be a more players to retire before round 1 - Patton and Dyl Roberton are interesting cases.

The umpires panel in the review were comfortable with the decision (see the video inserted into the article), but Christian clearly thought it was a fifty:

It could/ should have been paid when I can be comfortable knowing we have a premiership now........but the umpires make a really good point in that Scully jetted off the line straight away and as soon as they'd realised this all bets were off and play on was called.

Patton officially retired now. 2011 and 2013 number 1 draft picks by GWS and their key forward hopes for the long term now both retired (along with their number 2 pick from 2012 in O'Rourke). A real shame (for the players, not GWS, screw them).

I’m pretty sure everyone on Fox Footy was calling the Hawthorn ‘brain trust’ ‘fantastic, I think a genius’ for over paying the salary to get Vickery as a free agent, and then again ‘fantastic, I think a genius’ for taking the salary dumps of Scully & Patton.

Hindsight is 20/20 sure, but I’d love the same folks to analyse what Hawthorn got for the circa $3.5M they’re out of pocket, for a combined 47 games.

Silly man with his indiscretions

My enduring memory of Patton is him falling all over all himself to verbal Tom Boyd during the '16 prelim.

Enjoy retirement you literal wanker.

Also had a public crack at Boyd after he left the Giants. Karma's a bitch.

I have a vague recollection that we were actually into Patton (not Boyd) but he did his knee and we moved on to Boyd. That is Matrix levels of bullets dodged.

CATS TRIO URGED TO LOOK ELSEWHERE

A talented Geelong trio have been encouraged to explore their options as they continue to perform at the second-tier.

The Cats’ VFL side proved far too good for Coburg on Thursday night, winning by 57 points in a performance that underscored the capabilities of Darcy Fort, Charlie Constable and Jordan Clark.

I don't mind Clark, surprised they'd push him out the door.

I think Clark could be a 150 game player at the right club.
I could also see Constable slotting into a HBF role.

They should both be able to find other homes.

He's a good runner, can see him going somewhere and performing like Ed Langdon.

I listened to the broadcast, it was far more subtle and nuanced than people telling them to leave

Fort looked good, really good. I'd be comfortable welcoming him back.
