What some of the Essendon fans had to say:
""Unfortunately not a ball kicked in anger by Courtney this year, so obviously deserves lowest ranking possible. The fact the club has kept him on the list after 2 years of injuries speaks volumes of what the club thinks of him. Seen him play in the seconds and was impressive. Here's hoping for an injury free 2005 for you, Courtney,"" Alan Fairbairn.
""Not much you can really say about a bloke who didn't manage to get on the park during the season. From what I hear he's a great talent who needs luck with injuries. I'm really hoping he can get back on the park next season to show the Essendon faithful what he's capable of,"" Chris Chatterton.
""10/10 for sheer perseverance & outright determination. Hopefully the hip injury is behind him with all the remnant bone chips being removed. He has never given up despite so many kicks-in-the-guts & he won't. Should he get fit I'm sure he'll be a huge asset for the Bombers. He's big, strong & has good overhead & ground skills matched up to a long straight left foot. He deserves to make it,"" Graeme Johns.
""An explosion waiting to happen, should his body ever allow it. Johns at Full Forward with Lloyd at Centre Half... drool,"" Michael Inglis.
""All the potential in the world means nothing unless he can get himself on the park. Lets hope for Courtney that he is finally over his hip complaints and can get out on the ground,"" John Harink.
""This guy comes with a big reputation. So far we haven't had the pleasure of seeing him play. Injury has kept him out of the team. He must be good or he wouldn't have been kept on the list. Let us hope he gets over his injury and be ready for season 2005,"" Robert Murray.
""We're told Courtney is a talented forward who relishes the contest in much the same way as Jonathan Brown. We can only hope his hip condition recovers fully. Even though there are no guarantees Courtney will play football again, Essendon must be commended for their commitment to his recovery,"" Robert Lorenzetto.
""This kid must have the biggest heart alive and have the confidence of the club. I for one know very little about him but if the club are willing to stand by him as they have then I will throw my support as well, now son it's up to you, so get out there and show us what you can do,"" Max Rodwell.
