Will Joey be the last one playing

saintbrat · Post: # 1626651Post **saintbrat** » Sat 23 Jul 2016 2:48pm

from the 2001 Draft

heard a journo mention yesterday that Nick Dal was likely to be gone from North at end of the year in discussion about the 6-7 30+ players they have on their list ( yet keeping Harvey)

and though that's odd hadn't though he would be even considered for retirement- has been very durable

but heard Dal chatting this morning and it would seem it is an option.
maybe it says more about his emotional connection to his second club ( or not)
- would it be a consideration if he was still at the Saints?

Remind me someone, Who is the player between Matt Maguire and Luke Ball?

They all look like 14 year olds .

I couldn't pick that bloke at all but the only other person we drafted that year was Josh Houlihan. So I assume that's him? Anyone?

SemperFidelis · Sat 23 Jul 2016 6:55pm

That really was a fantastic year for us.

i'd take Dal back for a year if Joey hangs them up. Dal can still move it well (hand & foot) just slowed down a lot.

Would be nice to see Dal back (if he comes cheaply). Good for the older players, good for general morale. A top bloke.

2 or more commentary pieces this evening have suggested that Dal wont be at Roos next year.... ( 22 Aug)

Yes he will... Easily

2 more seasons easily

Rookie list him? I must say I haven't seen him play much lately, but if he's still the player he was ...

It's official.

North will delist Dal at season end.

I wonder if GWS will take him on? Maybe Brisbane so he can work on his tan??

I can't see and hope we don't take him. We can't be a home for geriatrics only FA's that are guns in their prime, or good early 20's kids like Members/Bruce/Hickey etc.

Probably the right call. If we really pressing for a flag next year then maybe

Confirmed. Big call by North, will they see a massive drop next year? Boomer just put up 32 disposals and 3 goals on the weekend, and is currently in their best 22 easily.

North and Scott admitting they're screwed. Made a play for a flag with top ups, Sydney/hawthorn style and came up well short. Many years to follow at or near the bottom. Good riddance. Brad Scott is the new Ross Lyon.

Joey the last -ironic considering apart from Josh he was the last to cement a spot

Also forgotten who he is. From first glance he looked like Max Hudghton.

SemperFidelis · Thu 25 Aug 2016 8:15pm

See above / Josh Houlihan

That's the one! Thanks. I don't think he even got one senior game.

Ask stonecold? If he doesn't know he will make something up

Loved the Dal. Always sad to see him in other colours. Hoping his post playing career at some stage sees him back in the red white and black.

Good luck Dal, you've genuinely been an ornament to the game.
