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 I’m not the pedantic type :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Is that the Ainsworth that everyone wants?

No. It’s his italian cousin from WA that isn’t wuite as good.

You’re thinking of the bloke at Gold Coast who can’t kick straight

Beggars can’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.

I’m sure they have others who’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. That’s how desperate they were for a ruck that was better than Stanley.

No idea. Plenty of kids dominate at junior but struggle…

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. It’s a shame he never really found his feet there after leaving us.
