[Nylex]

Has cracked in hard every game he’s played for us. Respect

 

[chubbspeterson]

Thanks Liam! Gave us everything he could on-field and off-field. Massive respect

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Good one. Can't speak more highly of this bloke and I know the Hawks can't either. Fitting farewell this weekend (apart from the potential rollicking we'll get).

 

[Kanga Glory]

You can tell alot about someone, speaks well, good since of humour, doesn't take himself seriously, all the club showed their appreciation of him, clarko getting a little emotional.

Like already be said, on game doesn't do justice for what he has done.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Thanks for everything Pup.

Has been a pleasure to have you at the club, gave it your all and your leadership has been invaluable I'm sure.

 

[Antonio_RooLife]

Has been hard as a bull every game he has played. Tagging and trying his hardest to put all his strength into the game. Will miss you bud

 

[KangaRooster]

Love the bloke.

Wish we’d gotten him a few years earlier, has done plenty for us and sacrificed the whole way.

The time he’s spent embedded with the boys on field has hopefully shown him exactly what we’re missing and need to bring in, I’m looking forward to his off field role now.

Goes down as a Shinboner for mine no question.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Expected nothing from him, we got alot out of him for such a short time. His qualities as a leader were immediate when he came into the club, nothing but respect for the man he's had a storied career and I'm happy he's had a part of that chapter at North with Clarko.

I wish we had him for more games but he carried himself amazingly considering his age on-field gave everything he could.

Cheers Pup.

 

[Shermanator]

Like he said to Bull he wishes he was 25 and just signed a 5 year deal because the future is bright.

Well, we wish you were 25 and signed a 5 year deal too Pup.

Incredible servant in very tough times and gets nothing but the ultimate respect from me.

I hope you identify some new recruits with your exact traits as they will be so vital in our premiership tilts in the years ahead.

 

[Lomas]

Should just give him Brady’s role
And demote Brady to a lesser role again

Brady will end up running the coffee cart at this rate.

 

[Possession]

I have endless respect for Shiels. He didn't have to come to North, but he did. His impact on this young group won't be forgotten. Shinboner!

 

[KangaRooster]

Probably a good time to remind myself of having a chat with him towards the end of last year when we were getting belted every week.

Asked quite hopefully whether he’d be going around for us again next year?

No hesitation to say “whatever the club needs, mate”.

 

[Makeshift Park]

He's a solid citizen and an impressive character and its been great to have his presence at the club for this all-too-short time.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Been exactly what we needed the last 2 years. A leader from a successful club, with high personal professional standards and who still had enough in the tank to play a role at AFL level.
Pup will have hopefully played a role in helping to improve the overall culture of the club. It's up to the boys to follow through, with they've learnt from playing and training alongside him.

Thank you for everything Pup!
Glad he'll still be around and able to use his inside knowledge of the list, to focus on what we need to target going forward.

 

[DunstallsHelmet]

Love him. With luck he'll get the 75 tackles needed to move to outright 3rd on the all-time leaderboard.

 

[Themanbun]

Can't help but notice he pointed out hard work and making sacrifices for the team is essential or else this group won't get anywhere.

 

[Dingster]

Pup just wins people over and demands respect so his real asset to North is yet to come. Can't wait to he gets stuck in.

 

[shinboner magic]

Thanks Pup - you were beaten up and slow af when you jumped onboard but you gave your all every time you crossed that white line.

I'm guessing James Frawley (Chip).

Wild when he starts tackling his teammates.

‘That’s bullshit Clarko! Why do I have to do it!?’

‘Look mate, it’s important that someone supervises over Stepho in the off-season. You no, bikes and stuff…and you’re the only one I trust enough to do it’

 

[Roostorm]

Good all round person…and glad he decided to roll the dice one more time with us
Played his role when we are at our lowest ebb as a club …for that he has my respect and l wish him well with the next chapter of his life’s journey.

I think it was Ray McLean who heads up Leading Teams
