It's great news but I can't help worrying for him if he does keep playing footy

Hope he is not trying to kick a drop punt in this freeze frame. That ball drop is Brayden-esque.

Liking this...

Can anyone read the story?

Apparently we’re seeking a special list exemption for him. No idea what that is but I’ll bet the AFL doesn’t grant it.

I don't care so much if he never plays another game of AFL football ever again, as long as he is OK and has no long term implications from that horrendous double head knock, first body then ground.

As an Old Fart I just want him to be able to experience the things that Old Farts cherish, like family, friends and long past flags and watermelon wine.

Cruel to have your dream snatched from you at such an early age.... and yet he lived and achieved the dream that every AFL player past and present has had , that being to one day walk up onto the raised stage at the MCG and receive a Premiership Medal.

All the best to the young tiro, he achieved so much, all be it he could have achieved so much more had fate not be as it was.



Played his part.





Held his team mates after the sweetest victory.



Enjoyed and lived in the moment.




Held the Holy Grail with a medal round his neck.

Can we get a special list exemption for Willie whilst we're at it? Cheers

You lost me at watermelon wine

Everyone can cool their jets on Fiorini talk.

I heard it - was just a segment on Whately's show. In the trade chat with Sam Edmund, some random bloke emailed in saying "Fiorini for 32".

Edmond was like "havent heard that".

Then they moved on to some delusional email about Cripps joining Freo.

So it was nothing more than speculation you get all over Bigfooty. Was probably just a hopeful West Coast supporter. Definitely not worth thinking any further unless its actually reported somewhere.

Wtf is watermelon wine anyway, I've never heard of it before but I hate watermelons and I hate wine so it just sounds terrible

 

[Rowan18]

He was on a low wage at Geelong. Wasn't there an article about them upping his wage at some point (and some spiel about trying to fit paid childcare outside of their soft cap)

They still set aside $600-700k or so to be able to offer him a contract if he didn't accept ours. I doubt they spent all of that on recruiting Steven and Jenkins.

 

[Duggo81]

Ok, so the link with Fiorini seems more speculative at this point, which is unfortunate.

Can never be sure with Gold Coast under Dew, he has a habit of over-focussing upon the weaknesses of players rather than their strengths and freezing out good talent as a consequence - J.Lyons being the most obvious example.

Fiorini is a massive spud. Soft as butter doesn't like winning the hard ball and is a great stat padder. No thanks way better options than him.

Worked for Jarryd Lyons?

Not so much for Dane Swan

 

[LittleGreekGod]

Jordan Clark is hardly a discard, that's the one and ONLY trade with Brander i'm interested in.

The rumour mill says he’s a shithead with attitude.

....and what happened to the puppy dogs?

Hamish McLachlan happened

Was at a sportsman night. Lecra was asked about alec waterman.

He said he caught up with the team yesterday and actually asked about him. Theres was some suggestion that alec may want to head back to Claremont for another season and isnt ready to be re drafted.

SPS is a poor decision maker under pressure and is as hard as a marshmallow

HB Nah

Interesting but fair enough if that’s where he is at.

You gotta be 100% in or you might as well be 100% out.

On a side note, thought we’d see some delistings by now this week...tomorrow surely the day.

We did it three times in four years from 07-10. Adam Hunter was another handed the early payout. Downside was that each time we had to fill out the list from the pre season draft, netting super mega stars Pat McGinnity, Ryan Neates, and Blayne Wilson. None of the players given the flick were happy about it either, so we ended up with grumpy ex players and a hack replacement taking up a senior list spot for two years (yes, I like to pretend that McGinnity only got two years...)

Was not our best strategy...

I played Claremont dev with pat. Last player I thought would make it to the AFL! Hard as nails though.
