We all say a midfielder who runs hard and finds the ball in space is a gun, but when a forward runs hard to find the space to kick goals he is a Joe the goose.
He gets the return from the work he puts in. He kicks goals and goals win matches.

I've always wanted an indigenous player to test the State Of Origin and the determination of where they come from in a football sense. I'm happy to be corrected but I think where an indigenous person is from is carried down from their mother (again, apologies if I'm wrong), I'd like someone like Adam Goodes to tell the AFL, "get stuffed, I identify as a Yorke Peninsula boy and that's where I'll be playing when it comes to SOO." .....if indeed that is the case.Just on your post JohnK I would put Eddie in The SA/WA camp. Originally from Kalgoorlie ( which is why there was a strong presence at Subiaco). He lived in Port Lincoln as well. Then headed for Victoria . Guess just like the footballer he is hard to classify
Very well said.

Hutchy on his podcast says his source told him that JJ went to David Noble to ask if Roo was getting his mates to talk about how he plays.
Hutchy tries to change his story from "Roo told them to say X" to "Roo had conversations with them and that shaped their opinions"
So really a ground-breaking story of "Roo talks footy with his friends sometimes"

What ?? You mean a player has signed WITH us ?? But doesn't everyone want to leave ??Rob Chapman - the deal is all but done
Well....hasn't quite signed...but, and I quote from Bicks who asked the question to Rob Chapman "The deal is all but done"
Actually it seemed like the story according to Hutchinson was "David King is a defensive knob".
We are a feeder club dont you know!

Hutchy just said Jenkins personally had a meeting with your head of football David Noble asking whether Roo was directly influencing the Fox Footy commentators opinions about how he scored his goals and played the game. Seems Hutchy actually had a story I think.

Does David Noble work for Foxtel? Not sure I understand.
Would understand if he was asking if Roo's opinion was colouring our list management thoughts.
Clearly he doesn't work for Foxtel, but Jenkins obviously had an issue with recent commentary and thought Roo may have had something to do with it so raised it with the club so they could look into it. Pretty big story for a player to be accusing a board member of playing the media to reduce his contract.
Media discussion and opinions can have an influence on how other clubs perceive a player and the leverage a player has in negotiating a new contract, probably not a lot but I wouldn't say it is nonexistent.

It would be a pretty big story if a coach was found selling old premiership cups on eBay too.

His 'grandma' was essentially his mother growing up. Lovely story about a very wonderful woman who took in three kids when she was 60!

What Hutchi is suggesting does raise questions regarding conflicted interests, not just with Roo but every media person directly involved with a club. It actually isnt far fetched and ridiculous for this to happen. It only relies upon professionalism for it not too. I doubt its the case in this instance because JJ is the hottest forward out of contract and that Brisbane and others have offered huge contracts. JJs manager probably felt it undermined his negotiation tactics.
