Anyone interested in Freo's delistings?

They've delisted Ryley Dunn, James Walker, Clayton Collard and Robert Hadrill.

Collard would be a good one to rookie. He has a lot of pace and his evasive skills are the best I've seen in an 18-19 year old. He just seemed a little cocky when he went back to the WAFL after debuting for Freo against the Saints in round 9. We could straighten him out.

Hadrill and Dunn are chances to go in the PSD.

Collard is a huge shock.
Apparently had severe attitude issues in the second half of the season.

Surprising that Collard would be delisted after his first year, must be for disciplinary reasons. Solid built player, probably suited for midfield and sounds like a good prospect if we can fix his "attitude problem."

Walker and Haddrill are unlikely to be nominated for the PSD.

Depends on the exact nature of Collard's "attitude problem" but I'd expect some club will take a punt on him in the National Draft. We don't have any available picks between 26 and pick 10 in the rookie draft so I doubt he'd be available to us. (Pick 26 on a player who didn't survive his first year on a list wouldn't make sense.)

Aren't Hadrill, Dunn and Walker defenders?

Last thing we need is more defenders...

Your point being?

Plus he's a bit too young.

Collard would be very appealing, but it remains to be seen what type of issues he has as it certainly wasn't a lack of ability that caused him to be cut.

Collard....you have to be kidding there is a reason he was delisted..... because he's hopeless wait till next years National draft draft*Daniel Rich*will be a star great midfielder, pin point kick great goal sense
Won best on ground in the GF of the WAFL how many 17yr olds have done that against seasoned players

**573v30** · 24th October 2007, 10:36 AM

Rich was great in the GF, I reckon the only way we'll get him is if we have a crap year if he's not picked up in the draft this year. He's certain to be picked up in the top 10.
