Toast Congrats Peter Motley

[true_blue_69]

was announced on the fox sports AFL Teams show tonight (by David Parkin)
that Peter Motley is to become a father for the first time.
Peter Motley & his father Geoff were in the studios & when peter was asked if he knows what sex the baby would be Peter replied..... "It can only be one or the other" or something along those lines.

It has been a long road for Peter & he is looking well.

Once again.... Congrats Mots !!

great to hear, lets hope it's a boy and plays for the blues and the motley name gets to have a long and successful career at the blues as it deserves.

 

[Johnny Friendly]

That's awesome news- good for you Mots. Put aside that #2 in 17 years or so time fingers crossed!

 

[Sin City]

Great to hear, good stuff Mots

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Onya Mots!

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Was great to see him and Geof (no 2nd f) on the show.

It's a shame he didn't get to strut his stuff for longer but as far as SANFL goes and the players I saw I have him up there with Robran and Ebert. Motley could play anywhere and do anything a true freak.

And an unbelievably nice bloke pre and after the acident.

I'm sure you blokes would have won at least another flag in that 87-95 period had he been able to continue.

 

[Dramoth]

Congrats Mots and family... you deserve it after everything that has happened.

While us Blues supporters will be hoping for a son for ya, I dont think that there is going to be a single one of us that will begrudge you a beautiful daugher.

And if thats the case, just make sure the next one is a boy.

Every chance given good judges were rating Motts the best of the SA boys to come to Carlton.

Well done Motts! Lots of magic and sleep deprivation ahead (as an 'older' father whose daughter is enjoying her first birthday today).

 

[Bomba Sheldon]

Still look back as one of the biggest footy tragedies in my lifetime as a Blues supporter - but we are all grateful that he survived the accident.

 

[Dustyjackman]

Onya Motts. Straight up the guts with that one. Good work.

 

[ESKIE]

Nice story on the Motley family, congrats to them all.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Gunna be a hell of a bloodline coming through.

The old man won a Margarine, and still didn't mind dishing it out.

They always go to the Sturt games, both of them.

Well done, Hollywood.

Just saw the news on P Mots while watching a replay of AFL Teams and wanted to add my congrats. What an amazing story! All the best to him and his family.

 

[Bee]

What beautiful news! After the shit week I've had finally something that made me smile! Onya Mots.

 

[The Coach]

You go out and have a good time girl

I am worried about you because I checked your location and this is what I found

As you can tell by my 'username' I've been a huge fan since I was a kid watching him running around Unley oval as a 16 y.o.
He certainly was a unique talent. A great player,a great guy and a great inspiration to many.
Congratulations Mots!
Go you (Double) Blues!!
