As a teenager before being drafted him and his mates gave a bloke brain damage in a fight outside a pub. The bloke ended up unemployable due to the impact it had on his life. Our scouting was as good as our culture at the time and we overlooked his character to focus on his undoubted talent.
He pissed his chance away and focussed on being a full time douchebag.
Belongs behind bars.
It’s not.

You know this for a fact?
There’s been a lot of discussion about that clip over the years on whether is was Gaz or not.
Can’t find the info at the moment, hopefully someone else knows where it is but it’s clearly a pisstake.

Apologies, I thought you were referring to the footage in my original post.

He had numerous suspensions through drinking and unsociable behaviour. One was in a hotel foyer 4am after a Sydney game. Ben Cousins whacked him apparently. Connors got a 12 week suspension by the club over the incident.
You can count the number of hairs on Gary’s head in 1998 on one hand. That is not Gary Ablett Senior

Best footballer I've ever played against. In the match in question he was on managed minutes in a pre-season practice game. Isn't a big guy, but was taking pack marks 3 deep. Ridiculously clean with the footy.
Real shame how his life and footy career panned out.

Wasn't this the guy who used to do impressions of AFL players and journalists?
Yes - Andrew Startin is his name from memory.

He was ranked pretty high in that mega 06 draft before some stories came out and a lot of clubs didnt want to touch him
I mean, He was suspended by the club twice for drunken incidents before he got sacked, so I mean, Bit of an idiot

Alex Woodward comes straight to mind, while pieces of shit like Connors pissed their chances up the wall.
We had Andrew Startin do a show at our local footy club years ago, he was very funny.

The bit about how your coaching staff broke into the flat where he and Dusty were sleeping looks quite something in light of the Hawthorn allegations from around the same time.

And is remembered for gifting Elliot Yeo a goal in the 2018 Grand Final even though he was only a runner.
Poor bloke crossed paths with a few black cats in his childhood.

I reckon. At least Johnson has a premiership medal to comfort him in dark moments.
Very talented but had some issues sadly. That’s why he disappeared so quickly. They also bought him back to the footy show after an absence and gave him another crack but only lasted an episode.
