Re: Guy O'Keefe

O'Keefe isn't in Chapman's league, about the only comparision you can make is that they both shave their heads. A Norm Smith and the B&Fs says Chapman is athletically telented.

I am not comparing both careers, that is just ridiculous.

I am comparing the fact 'i think' Chapman is a footballer, and not so much an athlete. He wasn't drafted on the fact that he is super flexible or could run all day long e.g. Farren Ray. or even Tom Williams for that matter. He performs so well & takes every chance he gets, because he has football smarts in every situation.

And from some of the games i have seen O'Keefe play this year, he seems to have a pretty good football brain in certain situations. Some people are born with football ability, and are able to use that to there best out on the field, just like Chapman does.

This is something i think O'Keefe can provide for us.

I'd say he has a huge amount of potential. If he had been called up to the Bulldogs this year it might have been extremely beneficial for him. (a la Josh Hill in 2007)

Has been told he's going to be delisted.

Any whisper on when we will lay out all our cards? (i.e. before 31st)

It's a bit of a shame because he obviously has the natural ability, but after 2 years on the list the coaching staff have seen enough to make a fair assessment.

Will be interesting to see if anyone else picks him up based on his VFL form.

Re: Guy O'Keefe

It might be a wake up call for him and he may do very well if he gets another chance. If there is any potential there could we redraft him on a last chance late pick deal.

Unfortunately for GOK I would say most unlikely as he's being delisted to make room for new blood. Maybe another club but suspect his time at the Dog's is up.

It's a damn ruthless business. Wouldn't like working in an environment where every year 3 team members had to get the chop to make way for newbies.

From what I have heard:

Welsh - ret
Skipper - delist
Wight - delist
O'Shea - delist
O'Keefe delist
Shaw - rookie(delist)
White - rookie(delist)
Ogle - rookie (delist)

Its only ruthless if you don't work your arse off. They bloke obvious had some talent but I doubt he had the attitude.

Ernie, I do feel it's a little more complex than simply working your arse off and you have mentioned 'talent'. Assuming no voluntary retirements or players demanding to be traded there must be at least 3 players determined to be of least value or least potential value that must be let go. It is comparative to what you have on your list. Not saying that GOK did work his arse off (this I don't know) but maybe they all worked their arses off but the sum of his value comparative to others put him at the back end of the queue.

Re: Guy O'Keefe

It's a shame really, because he has the talent, alot like Lynch, alot of us supporters would chop our left nut to represent the red white & blue and do whatver it takes, then you see some kids come through, pout in the hard yards to get on a list, but for whatever reason think their job is done, top 4 finish in the Willy B&F shows he has the talent.

I remember when both Easton Wood & O'Keefe first got drafted, both being long time mates from the same area, and both agreed that O'Keefe had the talent footy wise, yet now we see Wood stay on the list and with a bright future, and O'Keefe out, by pissing his career down the drain.

He can now go and drink as much as he wants & eat as much pizza as he wants! and work a 9-5 like the most of us.

Re: Guy O'Keefe

I would have thought someone would rookie list O'Keefe, so he'll get a chance and it will be up to him

He is hardily the first bloke ever to be delisted with talent.
I'll take what the coach and his staff think about about him over whats written here or on BF.

Daniel "Party Boy" Hargraves certainly fits that bill.
