Thurgood and Little delisted

HAWTHORN has dropped goalkicker Matt Little and defender Josh Thurgood from its senior list.

Little, 21, played one senior game for the Hawks in 2007, but despite performing well at VFL level for the Box Hill Hawks was unable to maintain a spot in the senior side.

He was Box Hill’s leading goalkicker this year, kicking 35 goals in 17 games.

Thurgood, 22, was also among Box Hill’s best in 2007, coming third in their best and fairest. He had already been given a second chance by the Hawks, having been delisted at the end of 2006, but picked up again in the NAB AFL pre-season draft.

Little and Thurgood join retirees Ben Dixon, Joel Smith and retiring captain Richie Vandenberg as outgoing Hawks in 2007.

The club said it had not assessed its rookie-listed players and is likely to finalise their position before the end of the month.

Thoughts?

haven't seen or heard much of little but Thurgood showed some promise. Might be a good defensive pick up for us in response to dropping Fergusen.

    No deal

    What would be the point of dropping Ferguson only to pick up Thurgood?

    Thurgood has been delisted by Hawthorn twice.

    Maybe if we picked him up, at the end of 2008 he could be the only player in the history of the AFL to be delisted three times.

    I think us picking up Thurgood would be of no use. He could not crack it at a club with sub-par backman, what difference could he make with us? None!

    No way to Thurgood.

    If people don't want Cousins here because of his off-field activities, then Thurgood is in the same boat if my sources are correct...

    I would have ferguson 100 times before thurgood, he is a muppet.

    Little had showed some promise though, but obviously not enough to stay on Hawthorns list

    No to Little and hell no to Thurgood

    Hawthorn have got a lot of marking forward options - Franklin, Roughead, Williams, Boyle, Thorp, Dowler ...

    Little is a long way back in the pecking order, he might be worth considering - I don't know enough about him.

    We've got Robbo, Sylvia and Hughes as under-sized forward marking options already, maybe we think that's enough? But Robbo is in his last years, we hope Sylvia can move to the midfield and is Hughes better than Little?

    Little isn't a bad footballer, but is predominently a full forward. Post Neitz and Robbo, i'd have Green as the under-sized ff, and Newton as the pack marker or breaker.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
