Only one season with us as I recall,  before we flicked the bean.

I guess that term means something different where you're from...

 

Funny player Georgiou; massively undersized key defender, average skills, but somehow quite a good stopper.

His last game was our great win at the Adelaide oval.

    I saw him and his girlfriend walking up Bosisto St in Richmond where I was living at the time (very close to Bernie Vince) and him taking a call on his mobile. He looked pretty upbeat but it was the same morning he was called into the club and advised he would be released. I remember reading later that he thought he was going to get a contract extension so was really disappointed.

    I thought he was pushed aside a bit too prematurely. I recall being surprised. I believe it had more to do with extra football activities....

    Probably didn’t helped that he and Terlich dressed up as Rolf Harris and his young ‘friend’  at Mad Monday.

    Both were sacked/delisted.

    Ah yes. I remember that. Perhaps should've just gone as his doppelganger Mr Bean.

    I recall Terlich survived. He wasn't delisted until 2016. He was never a Roos boy...

    I thought he was offered another year but he declined to go home and earn much better money with a job as an engineer or something? I vaguely remember reading something about him saying he set himself the challenge to play top level and he was happy with what he achieved.

    I also remember the Uber Alex Georgiou Facebook page was a bit funny

    Georgiou said this after being delisted at the conclusion of the 2014 season: 

    “I’m obviously disappointed I didn’t do enough to secure a second season in the top league, but in terms of playing seven AFL games off a rookie list, and even to make it on a list, are things I never thought I was going to achieve.”

    (Apologies, I lost the link to where he said this). 

    He took a decent pay-cut to come to us and after being delisted returned to Norwood for the following season. Seems like a bright lad and appears to be doing very well for himself.

    Thanks for the clarification. Though he was delisted after the 2014 season.

    He last played in round19 2014 against Brisbane in a horrid loss at Marvel, effectively making him the ultimate list clogger for the  2015 and 2016 seasons.

    I can recall Roos ripping into him at 3 quarter time of a GWS loss.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
