Axed, retired AFL players to line up interstate, in bush and in suburbs in 2014

Former Dees players mentioned in the above are -

Matthew Bate (Norwood, EFL via Essendon VFL);

Tom Couch (Collingwood VFL);

Aaron Davey (Richmond VFL);

Tom Gillies (St Mary's GFL);

Jordan Gysberts (Norwood, EFL via North Melbourne);

James Magner (Port Melbourne VFL) and

James Sellar (South Fremantle, WAFL).

Another ex-Dee, Liam Jurrah played a few games with the former teammate Austin Wonaemirri at the Tiwi Bombers before Christmas before the latest round of his well documented brushes with the law.

Then there's Colin Sylvia (though not exactly a reject) struggling with training at Freo, Luke Tynan at Frankston VFL and, a bit closer to heart and home Troy Davis at the Casey Scorpions VFL side.

Rory Taggert is playing for Sturt in the SANFL aswell.. Not sure about Nathan Stark if he is back at Glenelg.

Its amazing where Jordan Gysberts football journey has now resulted in playing suburban league.. Came to Melbourne at pick 9, 26 disposals debut against the cats and, Told to work harder, didn't listen and now look where he is. Some blokes are just not cut for AFL.

Brad Green was spot on when he made a comment after he retired that too many players on our list relied only on talent to get them through.. Takes more then just talent.

Good, I reckon he can play and if he keeps at it he could make it as a mature age recruit in a couple of years.

I wonder where skinny Cale ended up. There was a story in the Northcote Leader in December that the Northern Blues (FKA the Prestin Bullants) were hoping to bag him (ie recruit him as opposed to joining many Demonlanders in deriding him),

Cale Morton has joined his two brothers at Perth in the WAFL.

I wouldn't consider Flash a reject.

Whispering Jack, do you have any further info on what's Colin is (or isn't) up to over at Freo?

A detailed list on where they ended up is in this thread.

Good call he retired.

Lucas Cook getting a paid game anywhere?

I heard on SEN a little while ago he was quitting footy all together.

Malthouse has Brock in the engine room ready for a tilt at the flag.

I was laughing to myself even as I wrote the above.

It's just a very absurd proposition.

I should get out more .

Stepped outside in the recent WA cyclone and not sighted since ;-)

Whilst on the topic of MFC rejects, what's Barry Prendergast up to these days?

Pretty sure he is the Opposition Analyst at Carlton. Destroying a list must have been a heavily weighted prerequisite for the job, no other candidate would have come close.

His next job he could by the dynamite that destroys the foundations of a large building being demolished.

Great picks Cook and Gysberts.

I thought he left Carlton, but could be wrong.

Still listed on their website as opposition analyist.

I understand that Lucas Cook has returned to his home town to play for Hopetoun.

An aptly-named place for him to end up!

Well, he had to find a role somewhere, sooner or later ... Sacked Melbourne coach Mark Neeld offered role at Carey Grammar.

I think he was also talking about himself... he may be learning from MM.

this stuff has gone on at Melbourne for at least 20 yrs, if not more.

no wonder we didn't win a flag with that talented list in the mid 90's.

By 'a little while' you mean about four years ago?
