You always find something with blokes like him. The alternate club man.Maybe there wasn’t anything else the club could do with him?
Wish they’d do the same with McDonaldYou always find something with blokes like him. The alternate club man.
I think his form in the VFL certainly warranted more games than he was given this year. He played 18 in each of the past 2 years. At least you always knew what you would get from him. He was all in.Good grief Tom M did you even watch the clip?
“A guard of honour”?
That was one of the saddest exits from an AFL career I’ve seen
When he was up and going he was great but inevitably a go to player after the mess of the 2020 delistings
Thought he could have had more of a run earlier this year when the floggings were going on
He might not be up for AFL but his intensity at the contest in the VFL always stands out. if the young guys see that then its a good thing.Maybe there wasn’t anything else the club could do with him?
Hugh has told me that he wants stay around the club in some capacity so this is a good start to achieving that.part of our aflw coaches so will still be around the joint
Type of person you want around the club in a non playing capacity.Hugh has told me that he wants stay around the club in some capacity so this is a good start to achieving that.
I'd like to think they offered him an AFL farewell game but he refused to take a game away from a young player, such is his nature. But the truth is more likely that he was never offered the choice.Deplorable treatment of this bloke.
F*** you, North Melbourne.
Sorry you couldn’t squeeze into that star-studded world conquering team Hugh. Thanks for choosing us. All the best.
