What have you guys done to the footy Gods

JOSH Eyre has suffered a setback in his pursuit of a second chance at AFL level after injurying his hamstring at St Kilda training at RSEA Park on Monday.

The delisted Bomber has been auditioning for a spot on the Saints' rookie list since Ross Lyon's squad started pre-season training on December 5.

But it is understood the 20-year-old has suffered a suspected serious hamstring injury and wasn't able to drive home from St Kilda's headquarters due to the injury.
The 20-year-old will undergo a scan in the next 24 hours but is all but certain to be sidelined for the rest of the pre-season supplemental selection period – the deadline is February 15 – and could even be unavailable for the start of the season if there is tendon damage.

St Kilda provided Liam Stocker with an AFL lifeline earlier this month – four months after the former first-round pick wasn't offered another deal by Carlton – but have a second list spot available ahead of the deadline.
The Saints have been hit hard by injuries to key position players across the pre-season; star key forward Max King required a shoulder reconstruction in December after suffering a dislocation, Jack Hayes cracked a metatarsal in his left foot a fortnight ago and Matt Allison was ruled out for up to five months last week due to a foot injury.

With King, Hayes and Allison all injured, it was thought Eyre's chances of another shot had increased, but now the bad timing might deter the Saints from signing him.
Despite not breaking through for a debut across two seasons at the Hangar, Eyre was considered unlucky to not land a third year with the Bombers. But with Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti coming out of retirement, Dyson Heppell remaining at the club and the Davey twins committing, Essendon ran out of list spots.

Eyre arrived at the Saints with a hamstring issue but has trained with the main group across most of the pre-season.

Former list manager James Gallagher was understood to be a big fan of Eyre, but he departed the club in early December and has since been replaced by Carlton legend Stephen Silvagni, who officially starts on February 15.

Its really hard to get upset about losing a key forward who was not signed with us and may not have been good enough to get the gig in the first place.
Seriously Alison was humdrum enough. "Oh no we lost a guy who probably wouldn't have got a game"
Congratulations to the media making it look like "another blow"

Don't see it as a loss, see it as an opportunity for personal sponsorship.

Arsenal's Rob Holding - first photo he's actually a couple of years younger than the second photo. Successful hair transplant!

Is that Bruce Doull?

Yeah but what about his mum

The club obviously needs to sack its fortune teller and hire a more qualified one.

It's a trainee fortune teller ... been using a crystal bull instead of a crystal ball ...

Not playing his position he doesn't lol

That's great always liked him

DMAC also had a hair transplant as well as BJ

Results aren't always so good see BJ who still wears a hat everywhere, depends how much you've lost and how many procedures you can afford.

You also have to take an anti-androgen, Finasteride if you want the rest of your hair to not fall out.

I feel for the guy though - he'd be gutted
Hopefully we have someone looking at every non AFL senior list in the country for a big guy who can play

Now he gets his Business degree paid for and CTE

As a punter he has very little to worry about.

He makes up for it with the girth of his belly.

I'm more concerned about us putting him into full time work in a really important role given his prior comments. Said many times I loved the appointment.

Sounds like we took him hostage & forced him to take the gig.

The term you are looking for is "shoe horned" I believe.

Sounds like Satan had a dirt file on him and made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Nah, probably just didn't factor his situation in and can't blame the guy for accepting an offer that would be on good money. Reckon we all would do the same.

Saints desperately need a tall?

For those who are bored here is a great game to watch three of our guys https://www.afl.com.au/ondemand/hig...afl-national-championships-u18?episode=7#boys

Hotton has a ripper, Phillopous a great start and a quality goal and Keeler shows a lot of freakish ability despite the conditions.

It sounds like the situation has gone from being manageable to the extent that Geoff was perfectly comfortable with returning to FT work to an unexpected turn for the worse.

I don’t see how anyone could even suggest the club did the slightest thing wrong. They asked a top shelf operator if he was interested, he was, he took the job & now his personal circumstances have changed.

My issue quite clearly is the contract terms and the importance of his role when factoring in the ongoing personal circumstances that he made public months before he signed, not the fact we brought him into the club

If i had his money i wouldn't be bald.

That's why I don't understand Prince William rocking the horseshoe harder than Danny Devito. You got money mate

It's actually against the law to factor in someone's personal circumstances when they are in line for a job...it's called discrimination.

Selected the best possible person, fell through after a few months. That's business, you move on. Someone's personal circumstances should never come into play

What publicly disclosed ongoing personal circumstances are you referring to? Can you send a link? In this podcast only a few months ago, Walsh described in detail his decision to join the club, that his family were all on board, that he considered it closely. All points to a completely unpredictable change of circumstances, so would be interested to know why you seem to think the club ought to have avoided this with sufficient due diligence.

I've seen that but I was speaking about something on the radio, SEN or 3AW stuffed if I know. I'll try and find it.

My ex went for a promotion a while ago and was asked by the chair of the panel - "Do you have any plans for children in the next few years ?"
It wasn't that long ago and it was a Federal Govt. Dept.
