shame things didnt work out, looked like being anything when he first arrived, wouldnt expect him to last too long once rookie draft comes along :shh

Gourdis hasnt got what it takes upstairs, he will never make it at any club.
Goo didn't have what it takes at the other end of his body either. His kicking was always a liability and the way the game has evolved with pressing zones and all you can't have defenders who don't have a good natural kicking technique. He was an athlete but not a footballer. He only lasted 4 years on our list only because our key back options were ordinary. With Rance having a semi-breakout year and Grimes showing promise plus all the other tall defenders we have on our list, there was no need to keep Goo as a 'back-up' any longer.

From most reports his kicking was good at VFL level and it was solid at AFL level (saw it with my own eyes). ;D


Bye bye goosy.

I agree Craig Cameron should be sacked

This definitely should have been resolved before memberships were sent out

what a disgrace  :banghead

So there you go, we both guessed him, now what was the second part of your prediction... :thumbsup

Shame Gourdis never made it. He was given chances but didn't take them.

Sadly was the perfect example of the focus by a lot of clubs in the AFL over a period of time of looking at athletes rather than footballers

Gourdis is an athlete so the odds of him succeeding were never that great IMHO

Agree, same could be said about.....little what's him name we traded to the Crows....Meyer, great long distance runner. Until you put a football in his hands!

I thought you were going to say Tambling . . . great athletic ability (tested amazingly well at the combine) . . . but like a new kid at school on the field, didn't know how to get involved.

Meyer was a gun junior footballer, a prodigy if you will. He was just ruined by injury after injury.

Agree gerks

Meyer was footballer first, had a great footy brain, just not the body to handle the work

Doesn't really look good for the recruiting dept now does it.  Very Wishy Washy.  Maybe we will Maybe we wont, depends on what we get in the draft or whats available in the PSD?

Im surprised they delisted at this late date.  Im not surprised they delisted gourdis
