Thurgood and Little delisted

[Guest Jones's vengence]

From afl.com

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.

We already have one filthy red head in the team... i don't think there's room for another.

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!

Thurgood is Ferguson. Ferguson is Thurgood.

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...

For the love of all that is red and blue, just say NO to duds... I repeat... JUST SAY NO!

Thurgood is Ferguson. Ferguson is Thurgood.

Same body too.

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.
