2021 Retirements and Delistings

Houli was completely cooked and a liability this year. Saw 5-6 tugger games and he was shot in all of them. Fumbly, slow decision making, off the pace.

You are correct, but Iā€™m not the pedantic type :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Is that the Ainsworth that everyone wants?

No. Itā€™s his italian cousin from WA that isnā€™t wuite as good.

Youā€™re thinking of the bloke at Gold Coast who canā€™t kick straight

Beggars canā€™t be choosers!

Kaiden Brand was on the swans list? Well there you go.

Josh Jenkins was still on their list?
Fark me.
He barely played a handful of games for them.

Iā€™m sure they have others whoā€™ll turn 30 before the new season.

C Guthrie, Menegola, Stewart and Cameron will all be 29 during next season.

He was probably expecting another premiership with richmond this year and thought that was a better option than 2 years anywhere else.

Or he was just happy to finish his career with the club that gave him on field success :man_shrugging:

Taheny was talked about as an early pick at one point in his draft year.

Delisted after two seasons without playing a game.

Injuries or just no good?

Yep. Thatā€™s how desperate they were for a ruck that was better than Stanley.

No idea. Plenty of kids dominate at junior but struggleā€¦

Also hard to judge as covid ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  the development of kids.

I only just noticed that Michael Hartley was delisted by the Hawks. Itā€™s a shame he never really found his feet there after leaving us.
