I am thinking you haven't shed a tear or lost sleep since O'Keefe's Delisting TCD

No, I don't mind him to be honest, just was aware of what the match committee thought of him though.

TCD

They must had a pretty low opinion of him.

Had he not worked on things that they'd asked him to or was he just a prick of a bloke? Surely he wouldn't have been alone in that respect, there'd have to be some pretty big egos at most footy clubs.

Nah, he's a nice bloke.

Just didn't apply himself as the club would have liked.

Nice work...

Re: Guy O'Keefe

Fair enough and good to hear.

It seems a real pity about Guy though, I remember when he was drafted he seemed the most focused out of that bunch of draftees in making a go of his opportunity. I'm surprised he wasn't more disciplined.

Thanks for that.

Will be interesting to see how he goes playing for the Panthers.

I can't make any sense of this whole matter. If I've got it right he got an award for his 2009 efforts with Willie, and going on performance observed by the regular VFL watchers he did better than OK.

There's a lot of innuendo but little of substance to explain his demise. We are only observers of the grand folly that is AFL football, but it would be nice to know what he did that was so wrong.

Like you I wish him well.

I think the assessment the club has given was that he just didn't have the pace or the fitness required to succeed at the senior level. That's not saying he wasn't and effective footballer at the VFL level because he was but I think there was also a perception that he didn't have the work ethic to bridge the gap.

It's not an argument with you GVG but I always thought all things being equal if you did better than the rest you earned your chance. That to me is the mystery of G O'K, he never got the chance.

He apparently was given some assurances for a game or two at about round 14 but then fell out of favor. It was a shame he was played when he was really in form but it just didn't eventuate.

That in a nutshell is the mystery for me.

One of the things I have noticed with Eade is that you don't necessarily have to be starring at Williamstown to earn your promotion. A few players have been promoted after average games but they still normally perform well when given the chance. It's probably a good sign that the coach knows how to best use them.

I accept that and it's fair enough, that seems to me like the coach's discretion and I support that, but it doesn't address the case when a player performs consistently at VFL level and still doesn't get a chance.
